I'm sure this guy has pissed off more than his fair share of powerful people in the past, so I find it slightly hard to believe that he wouldn't have considered the safety of his family prior to venturing on the most flamboyant slap in the face to the most powerful man and known assassin in his country...yah know??

"of Wagner leaders"
Probably a lot of people in the middle management, so to speak, who aren't as prepared as Pringles.
I really, really doubt this guy or any guy that finds himself in his position cares about the safety of anybody other than himself.
Putin hides his children away.
They may be psychopaths, but they do place a value on family.
Yeah, but....it's Putin. Even if it weren't, it's kinda 101 for your opponent to go after your family if he can't get to you.
If this was for real, I don't understand why he even took the deal. I expected if Prigozhin was going to revolt, he was fine with all or nothing. He already went traitor on the guy who windows people all the time for less. You don't regain anyone's respect after that even in normal circumstances, so I would have thought he'd really have nothing to gain and everything to lose from standing down.
I can't remember where I read that Prigozhin has a history of using histrionics to get his way. Based on what happened, I have no problem believing that he was just bluffing for a better deal from Moscow, and I think he probably got it.
That’s one way to negotiate.
Russian paratrooper was half beheaded today on video for being accused backing Prigozhin. Russia is pariah state, I just want this war to fucking end.
fuckers turned into ISIS.
Ah yes... the unofficial yet universal language of that waterless toilet - brutality.
What's to say they still won't do this, considering now Wagner are all branded traitors? Prigozhin should have known better, it was always going to be a one way street he wins or he dies
