Nothing is as it seems, so educating a guess is what some people do to stay cognizant. I was bored with the Russia/Ukraine war before it even started. I was exhausted by Russia, Russia, Russia. I was sorely miffed at the audacity of a Trump impeachment over a Ukraine phone call with the Pres Z just installed by our Dept of State and Soros after their successful Ukraine coup and money laundering of USAID $$$$$$$. Klaus determine a long time ago that mass migration was required for chaos and wars would be the impetus for it, ergo Somalia, 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria, the funding of ISIS. It has been a weary time for all to get to this place. Oh, but today the subject is Ukraine. This war will end when whatever is left of the DOD’s stockpile, after the give-a-way in Afghanistan to the Taliban and whomever is buying from them, is gone; the entire US military has been scrubbed of its finest; NATO countries have supplied their pitiful resources; enough dead bodies have surfaced; our treasury is empty; world food supplies have been cut in half; and another US presidential election is ready for stealing. Then, and only then with the WEF allow Russia to take half, its choice, of Ukraine. I’m done pontificating now and just noticed I forgot to address the Wagner Group and Prigozhin. As the very astute author of the article states, it is very possible the squeeze is on, however, it maybe not be imminent. And then there is the highest bidder in a high-stakes game. Putin is wise to look over his shoulder.
Perhaps my second most favorite Bible verse is John 18:38 when Pilate rhetorically asks Jesus "what is truth". Out of context I know, as Jesus is truth. But the more the clock winds down, the more worldly upheaval I see, the mass deception coming from my own country, I ask myself almost daily, what is truth. I trust almost no one and certainly no single news reporting.
Regarding the non 'coup' by Wagner, there were far too many anomalies to consider it serious. And having the Pentagon finding a 6.2b bookkeeping error that seems to have been deposited with the Prigozhin catering group, I question if the US was behind this from the start. I guess we'll need to see if 10% went to the big guy. But we have no serious opposition party to investigate such matters.
With the move on Moscow by the Wagner Group, it was the only time I ever saw fear in Putin's eyes. It also seems that everyone that goes against Putin either disappears or ends up with some accident.
I believe that Prigozhin is very protected and as ruthless as Putin. He may not be afraid of Putin, or, this is a well worked out plan. We will see what happens.

Sounds plausible, but why the deception ? Why not just attack from Belarus (even using their military)?
An attack from Belarusian soil would be an act of war at any rate.
