      I mean Prigozin has been advertising his eventual turning against Putin for a while, but I didn’t think it would happen as a full on military coup

        My personal theory is that he never intended it to get this far (previously he never called out Putin directly), but a failed assassination attempt made him decided he has no choice.

          Failed assassination attempt on Prigozin?

      I kinda had it on it when Prigozhin started releasing videos of him acting as a reasonable person to gain popular support.

      My father who is Russian has been talking about Wagner turning on Russia for the past 2 months. Dogs of war. So my bingo card has been stamped.

        fair enough, it’s an important distinction

      I didn’t either, but history has plenty of examples of mercenary armies turning against their employers.

        is it normally like this? for something akin to personal politics, and not missed payment or something?
