There have been two interesting articles on the whole Wagner coup in the last week. One by Seymour Hersh and another from Scott Ritter. Given the track record of these two the story told by both these articles seems much more realistic than what we’ve been getting from the breathless western press. What makes the most sense to me is the consensus that Putin has consolidated power, rather than having been weakened, and the Wagner/Prigozhin problem has been taken care of.
Very interesting! Agreed these seem like very much more like sane recountingd. Thanks for sharing.
I guess time will ultimately answer what will happen, but it does seem like your analysis is correct.
