Prigozhin is an unhinged traitor, probably being supported by the Oligarchs. The convicts who make up Wagner would be foolish to follow Prigozhin in his challenge of Putin. Personally I think Putin should have slapped down Prigozhin long before this.
Ask yourself why Putin didn’t slap down Prigozhin. I suggest you not come to a conclusion here, just consider the possibilities.
If Prigozhin is being supported by some faction of oligarchs then he is likely way more dangerous than he appears. He may have lots of “silver bullets” to use (”silver bullets” is a reference to the Chinese warlord era).
One man’s revolutionary is another man’s freedom fighter. Or what passes for one under the circumstances.
Americans above all should understand this.
History will either condemn or absolve Prigozhin.
