As the Prigozhin drama has developed over the last few months, it has been clear to me that the Russian defense realm was seriously messed up *regardless of the underlying facts* (which I do not claim to understand).

EITHER Prigozhin/Wagner is a patriotic bulwark against a Ministry of Defense rife with … what number column are we up to? eight? let’s go with eight … rife with eighth columnists,

OR the Russian military has assigned an important part of the not-war effort to a disloyal lunatic.

Either way, messed up. So it’s no surprise if it’s coming to a head.

I wouldn’t mind at some point actually coming to understand what’s been going on, but that’s an increasingly tall order in today’s world.

Gamarjoba dreams, Edward.
