Imagine these experienced soldiers vs the defending troops:

      Most underrated comment. Prigozhin is a straight up evil mother fucker: from being a war criminal and running the troll farm that helped get Trump elected, he’s no dummy. I am torn about cheering for him. If he takes the Presidency of Russia, the situation may not be any better.

        Well, he would not be burdened with Putin’s legacy in Ukraine and could easily walk away from it as a bad investment. He’s certainly not a better man, but Putin is not able to end this war without losing power (and his life). Prigizhin can.
