| S.Peelman said: Maybe he'll (Prigozhin) defect. |
Well, I know this will be unpopular here, but if I was Ukraine, I would absolutely be making overtures to him behind the scenes. Now he can't be judt let free, he would be under house arrest for the rest of his life essentially and many of his men would still wind up in prison. But he must see by now, he must know that Putin and his generals are sending him and his men to their graves. Those above him aren't going to tolerate someone as openly ambitious and as much of a loose cannon as him. Most or all of them will die and if he survives, he will be blamed for the failures and struggles on the eastern front. His career in Russia, his ambitions are already over, anyone can see it from a mile away.
So why not defect and surrender a large part of your forces? A life of house arrest is better than getting blamed in Russia and then falling out of a high window somewhere. And I know we would all prefer to dee him dead or tried for war crimes and probably executed, I know imagining him living out his days under house arrest essentially is hardly what most want. But the impact that could have, not just on the battlefield but on the morale of the Russian army would be massive.
