And when is this dust going to settle exactly. There are reports of serious infighting between Russian FSB and MoD. Just days after Wagner demonstrated clearly they could take Moscow if they wanted to.

Pretty sure based on what you're writing that the reality I'm perceiving is quite different from yours. The only thing the Wagner event demonstrated is the lightning-quick reflexes of the Russian decisionmakers and their absolute stranglehold on power. Things are looking ever more grim for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people (who at the end of the day are really those that suffer/will suffer the most).

  Useful idiot or paid troll? That’s what any reasonable person will wonder when reading this diatribe divorced from reality

    If it’s so “reasonable” then why do you need to point it out?

The days Wagner marched on Moscow were literally the worst day for the Russian airforce in something like 50 years. They lost something like 6 aircraft in a single day, with something along the lines of 12 airmen. > Things are looking ever more grim for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people (who at the end of the day are really those that suffer/will suffer the most). I don't see how things look even more grim for Ukraine? theres fights going on in the Russian MoD, top generals are missing rumoured to be under house arrest. A PMC took over a town and got 200km from Moscow with only something like 8k troops. It makes it look like Russia is entirely unable to defend its own borders, and like Putin has partially lost control.
