      They’re apparently sending in the tiktok army. Maybe Putin just wants to end any threat from PMCs. Prigozhin had him running for the hill.

        It would be one way to get rid of them, assuming they don’t run away if they realise it’s a trap. Although I wonder what would happen to Chechnya if Kadyrov and his thugs died. Would the Chechens remain rebel at some point?
