PwnallthethingsA lot of takes that Prigozhin signed his own death warrant via this deal, which, ironically, is exactly the opposite of what he just did, which is to get his literal death warrant officially unsigned
Still super up-in-the-air how long he survives even post-deal, but yesterday the good money was "idk, but probably in hours not days" and post-deal it's longer than that.

@Pwnallthethings I don't think it matters if he survives - Russia's internal politics just got much, much more muddy. There's no way Putin can allow Prig to live, and Prig basically controls the MOD now if the negotiations are true.
Putins entire image, which was his only real card, just went up in smoke.
@Pwnallthethings Its not to mention - Putin spent two decades wiping out any sort of opposition to his power and anyone who might question him to secure his power.
That's all undone. He cannot hide this. And even if he kills Prig, he cannot prevent another. His weakness is out in the open.

I think you're forgetting that they're all thieves and quite comfortable with the company of thieves around them.

@Springhead @Pwnallthethings Thieves love a chance to exploit weakness, and its hard to say 'comfortable' when their comfort has been steadily going down the tubes due to the faltering 'Special Operation'
A chance at owning everything in the face of a weak despot is far too tempting for this to be the only attempt.
