    The whole thing is sus:

    • Prigozhin stages a march onto Moscow
    • Putin runs away to St Petersburg, where a couple vans full of allegedly Prigozhin’s money get found, so he just stops short of Moscow and turns around
    • Prigozhin runs away to Belarus, Wagner to split between “core” in Belarus and the rest getting incorporated into Russia’s military
    • Russia blocks food export from Ukraine, holds a conference with African countries where it promises to send food
    • Niger sees a military coup, asks for Wagner help, Russia agrees, Prigozhin releases video of himself in Africa

    …just a couple days later…

    • Prigozhin in a private plane over Russia, north of Moscow, in route to St Petersburg, crashes and dies along with other Wagner leadership

    …wait, what? How? Why? Wasn’t he just in Africa, and not welcome in Russia?
