And, Wagner is making a U-Turn back to Ukraine. He must have gotten paid very nicely..

No kidding, they got to Moscow’s doorstep, has Russian elite fleeing, and decides nah I’m good.

After a stunt like that, he'd better stay away from open windows..he's just become the most accident prone person in Russia

Would have been interesting to see how it turned out. Maybe he was just making a statement.

Part of me was hoping for an actual confrontation in hopes that it would bring an end to this (and Putin), but there are probably way more ways that it would have made things worse than better.

Regardless, this is a major sign of rapidly increasing dysfunction and instability- I think things are about to break loose one way or another.

Usually it’s indicative of culpability when a man makes a response like this over an unsolicited question. And that’s just fine with me.

Smart for Biden's handlers to have him read this.

i hope our CIA can do better than a half-assed-turn-your-tail-while-marching-to-moscow rebellion.

bad bang for buck if so.

i think prigozhin just actually, genuinely, hates those in charge in russia, has for a long long time and it reached a flash point. simple as that.

Sometimes he blurts out what his handlers tell him to not say, or says that he'll get in trouble if he mentions a subject [which he then mentions].

Also, did he talk about his favorite ice cream? It is summertime after all.

If you think the CIA was involved in orchestrating this, what outcome do you think they were trying to achieve? Give Putin the boot, or prevent someone worse from taking over? I feel like there are worst case scenarios that could arise from either of wildly opposite outcomes.

Man, this weekend opened up a whole can of worms. It comes out that the Wanger Group is a actual government entity which now opens more international legal issues. The Ukrainians not able to capitalize of their window of opportunity given to them because they're bogged down in Russian minefields. Maybe ask Uncle Sam for the MICLIC system to get through those minefields
