I keep hearing #journalists and pundits talking about the #Putin / #Prigozhin #coup and saying things like "Who could have seen this coming?"

May I suggest "Anyone over 50 who has spent any time following #Russian #politics at all" could safely have gambled the family farm on this coming?

My #Russia Coup folder has three subfolders, and that's just 1991, 1993 and 2023. And I still think there should be one for 1999.

Hire older journalists, you silly newspapers and TV shows.

@Lorry Prigozhin has been mocking Russian generals for months. Some talking heads are making it sound like this thing is over. It’s not over. #Russia

@AnnetteLicitra @Lorry Prigozhin's problem: After multiple war-criminal ops as a tool of his war-criminal food customer Putin he came to think he's above the chain of command.
Big own goal.
Ex-jailbird Prigozhin underestimated self-serving, power-securing KGB/FSB "diplomacy" maximally internalized by ex-KGB officer Putin.
