Lol what a shithole country.


I still can't grasp how he thought he'd get away with humiliating Putin. Handshake and it's water under the bridge? Surprisingly naive.


Some analysts say the situation is (was) more nuanced: Prigozhin was pro-Putin but anti-MOD. His intention was to replace the MOD, claim their resources and fight in lieu thereof, for Putin. The article also hints at that.
