Prigozhin's coup against Putin failed, but it may have created the conditions that are necessary for success in a second attempt. I also discuss the interesting paradox that some people in the Russian system now may have a personal interest in Ukraine's counteroffensive becoming a success. 0:00 Intro 0:22 Was Putin behind a staged coup? 2:08 Traitors and enemies 3:11 Lack of support for insurrection 4:23 Lack of Ukrainian succes 5:19 A second insurrection? 6:16 Is Prigozhin rooting for Ukraine? 7:00 Lukashenko 7:53 New rules

@[email protected] making (as usual) very good points about the medium and long-term consequences of Prigozhin’s attempt.

    not sure if Wagner or another challenger. I’m not entirely sure about Prigozhin and a potential FSB assassination attempt. but I don’t think this is over.

    Nah they had one shot at this. Russian government will see it coming now. I can imagine that Wagner could join a coup orchestrated by someone else, though

      What would they change to prepare? Suddenly summon a loyal army to guard Kremlin out of Muscovian swamps? If anything further purges will destabilise the whole thing even more knowing how they manage to screw up everything they put their hands to.

    How? His supporters are being purged by Pootin, assets being seized and lost support of many military allies. Throwing them under the bus tends to do that.
