But it doesn’t make that point effectively; we’re all scratching our heads wondering what actually happened. And most likely Prigozhin would be almost exactly as bad as Putin from a Western perspective.
It might be domestic political theatre, but Russia is not going to stage a coup attempt for Macron’s benefit. But more likely this is just one of many cases of power struggles with mercenaries over the past few millennia.
- maratc 3y ago> we’re all scratching our heads The point is not for me and you to scratch our heads; the point is for the guys in the White House to scratch their heads. > It might be domestic political theatre It's not domestic; it's international political theatre. > for Macron’s benefit It's for Putin's benefit; it sends a "negotiate with me as others might be worse" signal to the West. Macron is not a beneficiary; he's a target audience. Having said all that to explain my point, the whole point might be wrong.
