Reassisted Retrogression
Could this just be a feint from Prigozhin in order to by time for reinforcements?

Or is the ending of this coup just as stupid as it's start?

Desperately want to know what agreement was made that had them just give up. He sobered up, realised he was hosed and took a "I won't kill you if you won't kill me" deal from the world's least trustworthy man?

This is so weird. I can only assume they didn't expect to be allowed to make it 3/4 of the way to Moscow without opposition, and got spooked because they didn't have any ideas about what to do once they got there, like a dog who caught a car. But what exactly did they want that they will get in this deal? How do they go back to fighting in Ukraine like nothing happened? How does Prigozhin expect to go on without a big target on his head? Bizarre.

This seems crazy. Prigozhin has to know that Putin can’t be trusted, right? What the hell was he offered? Why would he think there aren’t going to be endless attempts on his life incoming?

e: not asking rhetorical questions — I honestly can’t make any sense of this at all and am hoping that somebody can help me out here

If it's legit I assume that means nobody in the russian military was siding with him and he decided his 2-5k man convoy trying to take Moscow alone had worse survival chances than an agreement with putin and spending the rest of his life avoiding rooms with windows.

yeah.. but like it's a death sentence now, no matter what Putin agrees to most of those Wagner soldiers are gonna end up dead. Backing off is insane.

I did hear some people legitimately argue when this was first starting that Hot Dog Nazi was really making a play for control of the MoD, not the nation. Maybe he's getting that?
