Well…less than a day after it started, the coup in Russia ended with whimper instead of a bang…the leader of the Wagner mercenaries agreed to call it off and leave Russia for Belarus…and I guess what he got from Putin was a promise to not murder him…but if I were him, I’d stay away from high windows since lots of oligarchs and generals have fallen out of them over the past few years….I really do wonder what the whole thing was about? Was it just to show Putin’s weakness since Wagner got within 20km of Moscow before they stopped…and the Wagnerites shot down 5 helicopters, too, that Putin couldn’t afford to lose so why make a deal? I guess it’s just the inscrutable Russians that no one can figure out…I’ll follow up on this once someone gets the truth out there…
