Perhaps Putin abandoning his people in Moscow to a rabid mercenary will push them to revolt and join Prigozhin, out of immediate fear if nothing else

It almost reads to me like he worries how much support he had in Moscow. If the Wagner group is 25k strong and 100s of kilometers away why flee? Unless there seems to be grumbles from the royal guard about killing their countrymen over 1 dude.

They are currently 200km outside of Moscow

Damn, last I heard they were 500km away.

I'm going to sleep now, hope they don't reach Moscow before I wake up. wink wink
