Details offer clue as to why Wagner Group abandoned coup attempt that revealed ‘real cracks’ in Putin’s authority
Do I believe the telegraph?
Fair enough to wait for a better source, but I’m seeing this in other places too, citing “UK intelligence sources”.
But, and this is confirmation bias speaking, this was exactly my guess when I first heard he’d turned around: “guess some family member that he cares about didn’t make themselves quite scarce enough and Putins guys have them.”
The only reason I don’t believe this is, every well-informed Russian knows to hide their family and friends before doing something like this.
Agreed, yet it does seem to be a more logical explanation then the “official” narrative.
Entirely up to you, I suppose. We’re all just scrambling for explanations to make it make sense, but I expect if this is BS we’ll at least see a story exposing it as BS.
