Russian invasion of Ukraine

When news of the coup first broke my immediate thought was “Prigozhin will be dead within the next few days”
What he was doing and saying was obviously confirming his own death.
But it did seem odd that they had seemingly been able to take over Rostov-on-Don with no real fight back from the Russian military or security services. I find that really surprising, that a Russian city could be seized just with a couple of tank aiming their turrets?

Then the announcement that they would be advancing towards Moscow. It’s one of the most well protected cities in the world.
A rolling convoy would be hilariously open to air attacks. Russias military have shown themselves in Ukraine to be a bit shit and suffered heavy losses. But they sure as shit still have the resources for missile strikes on the rolling convoy that would be sitting ducks. They’d have had the capability to strike them from the air in in Rostov almost immediately. But yet they done fuck all. Why?

I’m absolutely convinced that this has all been orchestrated by Putin and the Kremlin.
Prigozhin would know that creating armed insurrection on Russian territory would be his own suicide.
It’s all theatrics, the way he doesn’t mention Putin directly and Putin didn’t name him in his first tv address.

But then the sudden back down from Prigozhin and Putin going from saying he’s going to be arrested for treason to nah it’s cool bro, let’s all chill, don’t do that again… go relax in Belarus for a while.

It’s all a total load of bollox.

But why? What’s the end game?
I was hoping that Putin has concocted this to give them a way out of the war, a way to end it without losing face, without ‘losing’.
But I’m not so sure that’s really it.

Prigozhin and Putin are clearly in cahoots right now.

What’s their next move?
