Do you think that Prigozhin’s current march to Moscow (which sounds like it is over already) will start any wave of change in Russia? I am curious about what chain of events we are likely to see based on the new events in the last 24 hours. Will the weakness exposed by Prigozhin tip the scales for other groups actions? Will the different Russian liberation groups use this opportunity to speed up their overall goals? Will the ongoing sabotage missions between different groups cause even more critical infrastructure to collapse. I am curious about what you think?

I have been thinking about the same things. I have been seeing multiple reports from Belarus, and the different Russian liberation movements, saying that "now" is the time. Using the chaos to their advantage. Prigozhin didn't mention Putin directly in most of his newest messaging, I have a feeling that was deliberate. With that level of deliberation, it is hard to believe the whole thing was not planned. They can blame the security failures on the predecessor, and Putin can pretend that he was unaware of how terrible "the last guy" was. P.S. Calling him Pringles made my day.
