Why Prigozhin Was “Exiled” To Belarus

It’s a pragmatic decision. Putin (a) preserves Wagner (b) separates warring factions (Wagner vs Ministry of Defense), (c) makes Lukashenko safer from internal revolt, (d) Reduces the need for RU military in Belarus, and (e) allows Putin to use Prigozhin to force the integration of belarus in to russia when needed, while at the same time, (f) providing a disincentive for UA to push north, while (g) tying up UA resources in the north, (h) reinforces Putin’s ability to blame failure on the corrupt military (which *IS* to blame).

This is how grownups think. What’s depressing is how much chatter is on the news and social media showing that THEY CAN’T THINK LIKE GROWNUPS.

I mean. Demonstrated evidence of incompetency worldwide.
