Lol, because that’s how Russian warlords operate. “No, it’s cool, I’ll just chill here and not invade anybody”.
Prigozhin is as bad (if not worse) than Putin. The rest of the world would be no safer with him running Russia. Best-case scenario is that this bullshit destabilizes the country to the point that Putin is deposed, somebody rational takes the lead, and they agree to cease all operations in Ukraine in exchange for western assistance putting down the Wagner rebellion. It’ll take all of a week to stomp out Wagner, if Russia allows the rest of the world to do it.

But is there any moderates left in Russia?
He will need several years to consolidate his power before he can do much external. Those are years the rest of us get to prepare.
