Which by itself would still not be a sufficient condition. The many corrupt members of the military leadership must be prepared to act against their interests, which are expressed in their corruption. How likely that is? I dont know. Not very, I fear. I mean their military is what it is since many centuries: a corrupt gangsterhood that gives less than dirt for its soldiers.

I honestly couldn't give two hoots for Putin but what does concern me is the huge nuclear arsenal they have and what they might do with it.

Yes. And I also wonder if we will see a covert Wagner build-up against Ukraine in Belarus. A new second front in the North.

I can't see Prigozhin wanting to help Putin at all but if Wagner are forced into joining the Russian army then that could be a whole different ball game.

They may not be able to keep the occupied territories, but they can cripple Ukrainian agriculture to a terrible degree for generations to come. The lack of water, and the intoxication of the farming soils will make Russian exports of grains the more important for the third world. And that is what this war also is about: to eliminate unwanted Ukrainian competition to the Russian almost-monopoly.

It took Russian armed forces and Wagner eight months tens of thousands of lives to take little Bakhmut, population 2% of Kyiv’s.

How many Ukranian troops are bound at Bakhmut - and north of Kyiv?
There are Russian nukies now said to be inside Belarus. Tacticals.

There are 300K Russians in south of Ukraine that failed in 3 offensives there will be no other from them, so I am sure a couple of regiments can not reach Kyiv oh they can do Moscow, but that was done without any resistance a Saturday stroll north Ukraine is prepared for an invasion from Belarus.

sanctuary in Belorussia?? Let's hope former chef Prigozhin has the sense to stay away from hotel balconies in Minsk during his sojourn in Putin's #1 ally Lukashenko's backyard...?

I don't quite get why Prigosomewhatzhin should stay away from windows.
I have no sympathy for any of them.
