    I’m not sure he couldn’t have done it if he’d kept driving into Moscow. The defenses of the city were just in shambles. Almost as bad as Denmark in 1940.

    However, having tucked tail he should have known better than to come back.

    Now there are rumors that Wagner would stage a second coup attempt if the deaths were confirmed (which they are now).

    That would be a complete suicide mission now. 2500%.

    Still, interesting times.

      Yeah, there’s pretty much no chance with the leaders dead, their camp far from Moscow, no surprise factor, and the potential allies like Surovikin pushed from power. It seems like Putin has completely outplayed them.
