Steven Seagal was just a cook in Under Siege and he ended up kicking ass. Don't underestimate the cook!

Forgive my ignorance if I’m incorrect, but I thought a civil war was just two factions from within the same country fighting for power. I didn’t think it had to involve civilians?
Am I wrong in thinking this guy makes Putin look pleasant?
Depends on the definition you use.
They are both utter shitheads and war criminals.
By comparison, yes.
What a crazy moment in time
Russia blocking the roads to Moscow with everything they got.
Brave sir Putin ran away.
It's always the ones you least expect
At least they get another Bank Holiday out of it.
To the knights who say ni-et
A bit soon? Thought they're a couple of hours away.
Spare a thought for Steven Seagal, Gerard Depardieu, Oliver Stone, and Edward Snowden
Wherever they go, claims of gangrape and torture follow. So...
Probably, but if things don't dramatically stop soon, that's where it appears we're headed.
I would imagine Putin's inner circle will scamper back to St. Pete and fight it out from there unless Prigozhin is stopped before he reaches Moscow.
I'm not sure it will be a battle.
Could just as easily be a bloodless laying down of arms.

But how much of this is as a result of Putin sending these places, both very nasty pieces of work.
That's nothing, really. At least when resistance is as small as it is.
I spent a good couple of minutes trying to figure out what variety of grape that was.
Or Putin orders his bombers to pound them to dust, no matter the civilian cost. I still think this is the most likely outcome. He can't risk a fight in Moscow's suburbs with uncertain outcome, especially against Bakhmut hardened Wagners. This would also be a show of strength. I think this option is more likely by the minute, but Prigozhin also must expect something like this.
This reminds me a bit of the ‘Thunder Run’ into Baghdad.
Doesn’t this feel a bit like Wagner are not expecting to have to actually fight. The idea that they’d do all this without the confidence that they won’t get slaughtered seems a bit far-fetched.
What’s the odds on ‘bloodless coup’? Let me check bet365

He would need to do it quickly while the Wagner guys are en route to Moscow, instead of in a big city. They are already not so far away apparently.
The one you posted is similar to the ones I know and would stick to. But there are some that go into more detail and factor in a bit more.
Much of it is a result of their own character individually and as a group. It would be fair to chastise Putin and whoever used them but they are entirely responsible for their actions with zero mitigating factors.
Let him cook!
I missed a space.
