This is a big mistake on Putin's part. Progozhin showed Putin is weak and so another attempt will eventually follow. The next one will not take a deal since he knows it won't be honored. The next one will dictate a deal on the steps of the Kremlin.
Why won't Prigohzin try the real deal now that he's not getting what he wants? I mean why not right?
He's been separated from his troops. But...
If his troops are sent to the African continent, that's the end of him.
If his troops are dispersed into the regular Russian army, this may just be the preface to a longer story. Consider, his troops are the most battle-hardened, and, would therefore, be looked up to by other troops. What better way to swell the ranks of loyal followers?
Has he been separated from his troups? I mean the troops can be all over the place but it feels like you are saying he has been forcefully separated from his troops (or vice versa)?
For the rest yeah that seems plausible or possible.
Prigozhin is apparently in Belarus.
Interesting. I mean he was "invited", but do you have a source on that? I mean yesterday he was claiming lot of things non compatible with leaving his army and 'fleeing' to Belarus...
