    Probably, since there’d be no decision to retroactively justify, if it was a new ruler. Of course, Pregozhin was much more of a hardliner than Putin, so a lot of people watching were less than exited about him as god-king.

      Prigozhin was not entirely collected in his mind. He was perhaps a military leader but that’s it. I watched with fascination at that “march on Moscow” unfolded but it isn’t surprising that it failed.

      I wondered what they had on him to hold him in place until the absurd plane blowup assassination.
