What if the coup was actually successful and there will be a power transfer? Nobody half asses a coup and lives to tell the tale

Prigozhin isn't stupid - I doubt he would have stopped without a good reason. They would have taken moscow if they went for it. My personal theory is that there was a palace revolution that we're not privvy to.

Nothing about this, with the information that we have makes sense tbh. Only reason he'd stop is if he was certain he wouldn't have been suicided. That certainly indicates a shift of power in Kremlin but as to what actually happened we can only speculate. I think it's telling we didn't hear Putin have an adress yet.

He wanted to capture shoigu and didn't manage to do it. Probably failed to garner as much support as he thought he would and had to call it off.

You don't plan a coup for 9 months and not secure your family, common

Big companies like Facebook can just block IPs coming from the VPNs, it's not feasible for someone smaller but they could 100% do it

Huel is quite infamous for having lots of fiber and causing absolute monster shits before you get used to it. Like it really makes you go every few hours on top of the shits being just extra nasty

Facebook is in a lot of shit with EU right now because of GDPR non compliance. They are at a risk of just getting flat out booted from here if they don't fix their shit.

That combined with the upcoming Digital Markets Act means they might not get a chance to launch here at all

The more I think about it (and I've thought a lot past few days) the more this seems to be the case. He thought there is going to be more support and backed out when it didn't materialise

Yeah, my bet is they are going to use Wagner to call a state of emergency around the border and delay the elections

it's the navy seal copypasta

I don't think so - it made him look incredibly weak. Prigozhin getting as far as he did is just awful for him. That he had to negotiate at all. His speech yesterday was just a nothing burger - he didn't even name Prigozhin, just alluded to him.

Honestly he is the person that lost the most here - Prigozhin is still alive, Wagner seemingly still kicking too, no charges and it got negotiated by Lukaschenko of all people.

His strongman image is over and things will def come crumbling for him now.

I am open to entertain the idea but I fail to see what would his play be - Prigozhins reasons are very clear as he stated them before and after the coup

He was tried of putting his best men and friends in body bags, being stuck in Bakhmut and the people above him in the pecking order, will he succeed remains to be seen but his reasons are understood
