I wonder if theres a bookie who specialises in the untimely demise of Putin-affiliate people - then I wonder what Prigozhin's odds are.

Ha, I'd rather take odds on Lukashenko "falling from a window" - I seem to remember he was reported as "seriously ill" a few weeks ago, plus if I remember Putin was pressuring him to attack Ukraine, and he refused.

Get rid of L. and Putin can install Prigo. and they will work together on Ukraine. Scary.

In my opinion, Prigozhin is done. How would you envision Putin installing Prigozhin anywhere and save face?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah you may be right, I even hope you're right. But I don't think Putin cares about saving face in the west.

I would guess his biggest challenge would be keeping the Belorussian people in line. I know little about the country, I should probably read up!

I do not think he wants to save face in the west, but within Russia itself. But who knows 🤷

That's exactly right. I imagine Putin & his lackeys are very busy indeed right now. Just I would definitely not count him out like many articles seem to be.

Edit: spelling
