Just to add to the confusion over Prigozhin's Rebellion, the criminal case has been closed... again.

I'm hearing Wagner troops have been given a choice: They can join the regular Russian army, or they can also be "exiled" to Belarus. I'm also hearing Wagner's recruiting offices in Russia have re-opened.

What major city is less than 200 km south of Belarus by road?

We didn't get any benefit from this, as Prigozhin may have taken the 6.2 Billion and run.

Also, he is from Saint Petersburg (Leningrad) just like Putin, so Putin may have used this episode to take out his Moscow enemies.

The presumed stalemate in Ukraine, ridiculous when Russia has an escalate to deescalate strategy, is just being continued for the money. This was just a payoff to Putin & Prigozhin to continue as before. What is important is that the pedo labs continue. The adrenochrome must flow, unendingly.

Do I believe any of that, strangely enough, it fits.

Illuminating details and prudent analysis, Mr. Kust. And you’re right, nobody knows the complete picture of what’s going on here.

One of the most interesting aspects of living is that the future is truly unknowable. Who knows what the status of Russia and the Ukraine will be six months from now?
