Good morning. I can’t find the source now, but there was mention of previous Russian attempts to absorb the Wagner group, and that Russia had begun recruiting from prisons, as had Prighozin. There is a mention of it here, although not the same:

The advance toward Moscow brought air assault but that apparently wasn’t the first. Prighozin took a deal as opposed to death. Vladimir Putin simply bit off more than he could chew. Without the use of nukes.

I hope he will rethink the status of Ukraine, as unlikely as it seems

Jim. What are your thoughts about two of Putin’s alpha lapdogs (Lukashenko / Prigozhin) having, access (at a minimum, approximate opportunity) to tactical nukes?
