Even if Prigozhin’s mutiny-cum-coup is crushed, the very fact it could be mounted will add to doubts about Vladimir Putin’s hold on power.

I think it’s early to say it will fail. There’s a chance that security forces, conscripts and even professional soldiers are fed up with the way the Ukraine war has been going and they’ll side with Wagner or not oppose resistance.

It sure seems like resistance is minimal so far to Wagner.

GREAT! One side can lose, and the other side can lose, and Ukraine can win! Good job Russia, KUTGW

Even though I had no idea what KUTGW meant, I was tempted to upvote you anyway. Still, I looked it up first, just to be safe.

For anyone else who’s as clueless as I was: KUTGW stands for Keep Up The Good Work.
