No. When a dictator is reduced to murdering members of his inner circle and fighting with and replacing his own generals, the situation is very dangerous. There is no trust among those who remain, and therefore no loyalty. The knives are out and must taste blood.

WAGNERITES CRYING IN Prigozhin was loved by nationalists. Putin killed the hero whom they believed was protecting them (he wasn’t). Putin poorly understands how his actions would be perceived: Putin has created a martyr – He should beware the unintended consequences.
