Eh.  No.  Putin is now shown he can't keep the country secure.  He had to let an insurrectionist the FSB announced they would arrest slide.  Can anyone on this blog claim they've ever heard the infallible, all-powerful Putin do such a thing before?

He lets people slide all the time.  He operates like his former KGB and gets revenge long term.[/quote]

NP. I do think the "long term" just got relatively shorter for Putin, though. He's going to end up like Nicholas II. I thought about this in theoretical terms prior to yesterday's weirdness but now I think it's really going to happen at some point. That Prigozhin is alive at all after Putin made that broadcast shows weakness. And Russian politics doesn't abide weakness and never has. Yesterday was the beginning of the end even if it still takes a bit to play out. The cracks are starting to appear and things in Russia can change very quickly, as we've seen over the centuries; their people put up with seemingly endless nonsense until very suddenly they don't. Putin is going to end up like Nicholas and a civil war is coming. Nicholas ended up dead after getting Russia into a war that exposed their military as an antiquated paper tiger and dragged their economy into the gutter; Putin has made the same mistake and is trying to bluster his way through and it's eventually going to fail. And I think he knows it.[/quote]
