Prigozhin has publicly placed all of the guilt for the problems with the Ukraine invasion on Gerasimov and Shoigu, so I think subordinates of Gerasimov and Shoigu can come over to Prigozhin’s side but Gerasimov and Shoigu themselves are in a fight to the end with Prigozhin.

Putin, if he is even alive, is very slippery and if it looks like Prigozhin will prevail Putin could position himself on Prigozhin’s side.

But it wouldn’t shock me if Putin is dead or incapacitated and Bortnikov is running the country using Putin’s double as a front man.

If so, I wonder if Bortnikov would consider ally-ing with Wagner AND giving up Ukraine to rebuild something within Russia proper? Country has potential to be much more than a gas station with nukes. Could exploit Siberia for minerals AND the tourist potential there and in the whole rest of the country is immense. Build more railways across the huge country, offer comfortable tourist passenger accommodations. I’d love to tour a friendly allied Russia and spend tourist dollars doing so. Could bring the primitive areas into the 21st century with plumbing and electrification with us multinational firms contracted to plumb and wire them.
