Either Prigozhin or Shoigu will get displaced. There'll be no civil war causing Russian refugees.

Remember, Putin has his own submarine disaster.

It was horribly botched. I did like how, afterward, Larry King asked Putin what happened to the Kursk, and Putin just said, "It sank."

It is a perfect Russian conflict; they can win and lose at the same time. "Then it got worse" somehow keeps finding its way into the Russian history.

Yeah, and it's worth being extremely careful with news sources right now--all kinds of people are going to be trying to maximize and/or take advantage of the confusion, from Wagner to Ukraine to random clickbait artists.

the tl;dr is that Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner PMC, who already had a fairly hostile relationship with Russian MoD, claimed they were bombed by the MoD, and said he was going to march with his troops and get the MoD heads removed. Russia is charging him with couping, Moscow and Rostov are on lockdown, and we will have to see what happens.

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.



I don't know what's happening but unfortunately I think the most likely outcome is that life gets worse for a lot of people who aren't involved in this power struggle, and Russia resumes its business of trying to steal land from a neighboring country.

Still rooting for chaos, though. If one of the decision-makers involved with this invasion faces a single consequence, that's an improvement.
