Many Non-Russian Pro-Russians in the Alt-Media Community might have sympathized with Prigozhin’s harsh criticisms of the special operation after Russia’s setbacks last year in Kharkov and Kherson Regions, not to mention the grinding Battle of Artyomovsk, but that’s no excuse for what he did. Prigozhin could have operated within the law to push through his envisaged reforms via Wagner’s nationwide “Second Front” media campaign that he initiated a month ago, but he chose force instead.

This is not going to end well for Prigozhin, who is simply acting out of selfish interest and demented wishes for grandeur. Putin has alas been too nice and patient with him, this has got to end at once, and I'm confident it will. People in Rostov are already rallying in the street to talk with some of the deployed Wagnerites and telling them to obey the President. I don't see them doing otherwise in the end.
Thanks for the timely clarification, your take on what's going on there (which I happen to agree with).
"...his former chef..."
You've missed an 'i', I assume. (Not that it's important, just thought you might like to fix it before it gets archived and forgotten.)
"...Escobar’s reputation can still be salvaged if he repents and makes amends."
Let's not get into that here and now. There are more important things to worry about. The time will come.
"...analyzed at length in this piece here,..."
If you get distracted by told-you-so b*tchiness, it doesn't look good; almost as if you're more concerned about your personal standing and reputation than more important things. That would be beneath you. The time will come, it always does; it's not now.
