It's chess. This is how you expose and get rid of some dirty MOD generals. It looks like a failed coup, but it's an internal rout.
Prigozhin doesn't have an air force and isn't an idiot, so step back and ask what was the true objective? To take out the generals that shit on him and are hobbling the MOD field effectiveness with their obstructions and incompetence.
Putin and Prigozhin are old friends and have been doing deals and ops a long time, why would that change now?
Who are the net losers? Top MOD staff.
Ugly housekeeping is still housekeeping. Now all eyes are on the complaints. Putin must deal with the grievances. Generals sacked, problems solved. Prigozhin will be forgiven and back on the roll having been proven right, if reckless.
Word.
