In less than a half a day, Putin goes from ranting about treason to a have a nice day pardon.
And the Ukrainian supporting freaks on this site go from yea it’s a coup against Putin to the realization it was nothing more then a protest in less then an hour. LOL, good times.
I have to agree. This makes Putin look weak. Hard liners will not be pleased. Putin may need to be retired.
I’m not certain about this but it’s starting to look like it was as WebbUnion said was possible; That is a planned feint , a distraction, perhaps a ruse?
Why?
—distract from an offense somewhere else
—as some one here said, to flush out actual traitors and agents to Putin
—to get money
—to gain power or more weapons , ammo
—maybe (just thought of this) it’s a deeper move by Prigozhin to keep himself in the limelight, gain attention and perhaps try to wrest power later from Putin???

Or maybe Prigozhin just simply backed down?
Maybe the whole thing was a Boomerang to US State Department. A sting.
Flushing out offers and rebels.
