    Everyone is writing about it like Prighozin just Order 66’d Putin when that’s absolutely not what’s going down.

      Well, Putin has publicly supported the military now. It seems likely to me that either Prighozin or Putin doesn’t come out of this in one piece.

        Hard to see how that may happen, but the russians have surprised me more than than I can count. Many things are happening in the background which we are not aware of. So many event in the last 486 days in which I thought - “thats it”

      That might not have been the original goal, but it is the only conclusion if Wagner wins.

        Exactly. Wagner says “not a coup” but if you’re the only force left at the end of the day that’s the only path forward. Doesn’t matter if they don’t make surface changes and Putin is still “president”….Wagner would have effective control.
