    Does anyone else think that being seen as weak and capitulating to Prigozhin here is basically a death sentence to Putin?

    Doing that has to have just put SO MUCH blood in the water for every internal agency/power-block with aspirations of taking him down and replacing him.

    Apparently all you need is 20,000 men and Putin’s defenceless…

    My opinion is that this is going to cause chaos.

    The fact that Putin didn’t have Wagner immediately atomized on the spot suggests that he wasn’t powerful enough to do so. Not a statement that someone in Putin’s position would want to make, I would think.
