As well as increasing paranoia levels among the Russian elite, there's the direct threat from what's left of Wagner.
A lot of Wagner people were willing to follow Prigozhin to Moscow. Many of them are serious people who know how to use extreme violence. It only needs a few of them to decide to take revenge for Putin to be in real peril.
If they succeed in offing Putin then the world is in for a period of frightening instability.
- taylodl 3y agoWon't this event strengthen their resolve to deal with Putin? People such as these tend to be beyond the fear of death. I don't know if I agree the world would be in for a period instability. I suppose it depends on how aligned this Wagner group is with Russia as a whole? Or is Russia similar to the U.S. - highly polarized such that any violence at this level will only beget more violence?
