Me too. Still, it's not like Wagner are the good guys. These are two factions of fascists fighting.
I just hope Ukraine was able to take advantage of Russia's momentary chaos."never interrupt an enemy when they squabble amongst themselves!" is where I'm standing.
Like... Wagner... can get fucked.
the russian military can get fucked.It would be convenient if they fucked each other so the Ukrainians didn't have to.
@DarkGamer I very much doubt the chaos is over. It will just come up from another source, in another way. Putin is doomed
I've seen it suggested elsewhere that this might be a deal struck with Putin through Lukashenko so as not to make it seem like he is negotiating and capitulating with Prigozhin like they are on the same level. Will any security guarantee he gets be worth a damn, considering Putin's regime lies and goes back on its word constantly?
I've seen it suggested that this was staged by Putin to dissuade more earnest coup attempts. However that theory relied on Putin looking like a strong-man at the resolution of this, which doesn't seem to be the case.
Especially doesn't look strong when his plane took off in the middle of this whole thing for Valdai, where he has a residence.
Yeah I highly doubt it, any staged coup needs to end with the death of at least one of the coup leaders to help Putin's image.
Russian civil war avoided, but I wonder whether these events will have permanent effects on the country’s stability…
Avoided for now...
