Here is my monkey hunch on what's going on with Wagner in Russia, just to put it on the record in case I'm right when the dust settles.
Wagner were bought off by NATO, and there was a pre-existing plan for Wagner to launch a coup against Putin when Russia was on the backfoot.
However, with the counteroffensive failed, but the US unwilling to take the "L" on anything, they activated the Wagner coup in desperation.
They have another coup planned for Belarus if you think this is farfetched
The soldiers who have been fighting alongside Wagner are understandably confused, and this whole event shows the danger of relying on mercenaries in a war.
Sadly, Putin has to utterly crush Wagner now. A traitor is worse than an enemy.
@Tfmonkey I really did admire Prigozhin before this: he was a street criminal that served almost 10 years in prison who got his shit together to becoming on the most wealthiest and powerful men in Russia. Now he has to die
