I think Putin agreed to give Prigozhin a cooking show Vlad's Iron Chefs in exchange for calling off his troops. The losing contestants are never seen or heard from again.So apparently Prigozhin simply backed down? It appears he accomplished nothing and goes to exile in Belarus and Wagner is effectively under MoD control. How? Why? This is all still very strange. Did he just lose his nerve? Is something else going on?
"Iron" ? Are you sure it is iron and not something tastier, like thallium or plutonium?… Putin agreed to give Prigozhin a cooking show Vlad's Iron Chefs …
Because they will be baked into pies.I think Putin agreed to give Prigozhin a cooking show Vlad's Iron Chefs in exchange for calling off his troops. The losing contestants are never seen or heard from again.
His people were almost all out already. This was about internal Russian politics.One particularly worrying possible interpretation of all this is that Prigozhin started this circus in order to get out of Ukraine, because he knows about immediate plans to blow up Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Although I am not sure this would explain all the bizarre chain of events we have witnessed.
He looks weak in front font of the whole world, he better hope notobaby else wants to take a stab at him because they're pretty vulnerable right now.So no immunity for Wagner mutiny leaders as was supposedly promised, yes immunity for rank and file but if they want to remain armed they are either exiled to Belarus or they have to join the MoD. As everyone said even a day ago, this obviously isn’t over.
Other than that everyone making fun of Putin’s anticlimactic speech after hype-man Peskov (his press secretary) said it would determine the fate of Russia.
Very vulnerable indeed. Operationally Ukraine could probably punch through Russian borders pretty easily, much easier than what they are trying to do. Unclear if strategically that would benefit them. Would Russia negotiate territory for territory? Would Ukraine want to defend the territory? How would Ukraine’s partners react? How would China? That Russia is convinced that Ukraine/NATO won’t attack beyond small raids is why their forces are so hollowed out actually defending Russia (which of course negates that obviously stupid justification for the war). But I’m sure Ukraine has thought about it.He looks weak in front font of the whole world, he better hope notobaby else wants to take a stab at him because they're pretty vulnerable right now.
What a circus… so much noise for nothing. Everybody involved looks like a total fool, the only PR winner seem to be Lukashenko.
Well, at least they show down some helicopters and created some chaos. I doubt that all this will leave Russia in a strong position.
