This is how today's conflict between Prigozhin and the General Staff of Russia began.

Prigozhin openly says that Russian authorities lied about the causes of the war.
After that, the Russian army began to kill mercenaries of PMC Wagner
We wish both parties success in this matter

Prigozhin tells who was interested to start this war. He accuses Shoigu of thirst for glory and the Russian ruling oligarchic class of irrepressible greed.
A little more and he will start blaming Putin

To be clear, he's an evil, savage monster, but on these points, he's not wrong.

Perhaps we could all chip in for a bulk order of smelling salts for any bothsiders who view it?

1. If he succeeds with his coup

Is he going to withdraw from Ukraine, or regroup and give it another go? He's definitely not as inept as the rest of the Russian military.

3. Why do I have the feeling this whole thing is just a Putin-orchestrated charade?

With Progozhin a willing participant/actor?

4. It's not

Seems too good to be true. But this has been brewing for a while and Wagner has just seized the city that the entire war is being conducted from.

5. Putins relative silence could lead one to suspect...

that Prigozhin was always a Regime blame relief valve.

Prigozhin released today a new interview going over the current state of affairs as well as looking back at the events preceding the start of the "SMO". In this first bit, he explains that the Donbas was plundered by Russians since 2014 and the 2022 war began for reasons very different from those advertised to the public.
