Oopsie. At least the Russians know how to take out the trash. We should have taken lessons. The 2020 coup would have never happened.
Then why is Putin still above room temperature?
“At least the Russians know how to take out the trash. “
No worse than any of them, I suppose.
I would expect this from Putin, but this will come at a cost.
The morale of Russia’s military is extremely poor, and this general was well-loved (and well-hated). I took a look at a couple of Russian military-related websites and the comments are pretty vicious in all directions.
There are a ton of Prigozhin troops who are exceptionally pissed, presumably well-armed, and inside Russia.
This makes Prigozhim a martyr of sorts. Or at least a rallying cry for revolution.
I would be surprised if there are not major internal reprisals/terrorist attacks from Russia on Russia as a result of this, if not open rebellion.
