this bizarre turn is prob backed by the American 3-letter set and seems like it has a small but real chance of lighting the nuclear touchpaper which is fun. imo climate change prob makes nuclear war more likely cos the guys on the button will know poo poo’s hosed in the medium term anyway so are more likely to get a lil bit spicy. tbh I would have preferred to be annihilated in a war with a meaningful ideological element rather than this fuckin clownshow but it does seem appropriate

a lot of states aren't really that robust, and there's a good case to be made that with a few thousand motivated fighters, the element of surprise and good organisation you can effectively seize the commanding heights of most state apparates. there are risks here, however:
1) if the people staffing the various departments etc simply refuse to work with you, they can stymie you for a long while and/or force you to scuttle your popularity by killing a bunch of them
2) if the seizure is incomplete, the former government may be able to mobilise its full resources against you
3) if you can't start governing quickly, the situation risks collapsing into complete chaos as all kinds of groups start trying to grab power

prigozhin seems to have his few thousand loyal and motivated guys, which honestly surprises me a bit. however, even if he makes it into the actual government offices, his success is by no means guaranteed, and depends on variables which he has no way of knowing. he has contacts in various departments and probably some plan to staff the various cabinets with his own guys, but some of those are going to get cold feet and there's no way he's going to actually catch most of the senior leadership who have seen him coming. basically he has to present putin with a fait accompli and hope that putin accepts instead of saying "no gently caress you yevgeni you're loving dead"

Some real big assholes in the West are pulling out all those Balkanized Russia maps right now.

Prigozhin knows from HOI4 that if you encircle the capital it cuts off supply to the entire army. Would have been better to just paradrop but I think it was patched.

Is it this, or is he going the wargame route and putting a cv in the enemy's only deployment zonr
