I know little about Russian politics, but it's my understanding there are so many high level power-players that Russia can be compared to various tribal societies throughout the World. There is also a huge Russian mafia with much influence. Follow the money with both the Politicians and the Mafia.
The scary thing about this new development is who will wind up with nuke control? President Trump would have stopped Putin's most excellent adventure in Ukraine before it started. Biteme is saying "God save the Queen, man" and other such daily nonsense.
My concern is Putin may use a couple of tactical nukes if Prigozhin gets within coup ability, and how will that impact the US and NATO?

I believe that as well. Even the Trump haters cannot deny that he did everything in his power to keep us out of wars.
