A 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
@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.
@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.
