Russia and Ukraine

[Thumpalumpacus]

Or maybe he’ll march on Minsk next.  Everyone’s worried about prigo but even the Russians know better.  In Russian government, the guy having his demands met is the one in charge.  That’s not vlad or luka in this scenario.

Vlad straight up fled and everyone saw it.  They’re heckling the Russian cops coming back into Rostov.

As I wrote elsewhere: Putin has a choice here. He can either have Prig killed, or he can look like a leader who cannot deal with threats. Prigozhin will not be safe in Belarus anyway, given the government's leanings.

There's no way Putin comes out looking good no matter how events fall out. But Putin will not suffer him to live. He is an existential rival.
