“Prigozhin has not actually launched a coup against the Russian government but protesting in such a way to express his dissatisfaction toward top Russian defense officials and to demand better treatment for the Wagner group”
“Quelling the revolt in such a short period of time actually consolidated the authority of the Putin administration, which has little impact on the frontline battlefield between Russia and Ukraine”
“Those events could push Putin to accelerate the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict to avoid similar risks, and further strengthen ties with neighboring countries such as Belarus and Kazakhstan”
I think putsch, strike, protest, something like that is better than coup here.
What’s not in the argument is tacticool analysis.
5000 wagner guys versus the 25000 moscow cops lol? Unthinkable. And the idea of them squaring off the guys who provide all their supplies and weapons and are like 50 times larger
