3. Prigozhin lashed out and got in over his head, realized he committed to a suicide mission with no political support and is trying to back out of it any way that he can.
> From Kremlin position, leaving Prigozhin go away peacefully means this kind of uprisings with big demands are going to repeat. From Prigozhin's position, this means to step back after becoming an existential threat and try to co-live peacefully. Very implausible.
Yes, he's probably a dead man walking, that doesn't mean that the Kremlin can't agree to allow him to walk away peacefully while they come up with a way to assassinate him. The Kremlin will better understand that trope about diplomacy being the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.
- culebron21 3y agoWell, this is plausible too, because 1) I've not seen signs of him being a suicidal fanatic, and 2) there were witnesses that he didn't amass enough support from the military.
- hsjqllzlfkf 3y agoDoesn't that rely on assuming that prigozhin is an idiot? I don't think that's the case.
- lamontcg 3y agoHaven't we had enough examples of smart people being stupid recently?
- rasz 3y agoHow is the current situation better than establishing Moscow beachhead and announcing in TV you are the new temporary president? Lets not kid ourselves, Moscow wouldnt hold, all they had was light infantry with few armored cars and garbage/dump trucks filled with sand to block the streets. Most likely military would just let them pass like in Rostov.
