There definitely is an element of theatrics and showmenship with Prigozhin but the thing is just by putting himself out there as someone who gives a shit Prigozhin by default becomes the guy that Russians whose necks on are the line actually reach out to:

If MoD had a reputation for being reliable videos like this wouldnt be a thing. Remember in Mariupol MoD did collect some capital when it came to protecting civilians. Well after many successful regroupings, de-escalations and painful decisions followed by SBU filtration all that capital has been spent. They are so bankrupt that they are telling people in the border regions to go ahead and fight the Ukrainians themselves. Wagner of course has been offering training courses in basic small unit tactics and medicine to these residents but again if MoD were considered capable of protecting the border towns Wagner wouldn't have a market for it. Like Prigozhin said months ago, if MoD had been doing their job the last 20 years than Wagner wouldn't exist.

Lots of people like to quote mine Sun Tzu allwarisdeception.text which I find especially annoying. Sun Tzu was talking about deceiving your enemies in regards to your intentions and capabilities, not deceiving your own soldiers and patriots into thinking you are an incompetent asshole. If absolutely nobody, neither the enemy nor your own troops and patriots believe you about anything anymore than you can only successfully deceive yourself.

So the theatrics of Prigozhins presentations aside this isnt 5D judo psyops and Putin is absolutely not Alpharius from 40k running plots with in plots with in plots. This is a real shitshow of Shakespearean proportions. I can imagine that writer doing an awesome tragic novel in the vein Coriolanus or Titus about Prigozhin and MoD.

Alternative media will say the fish is still "tasty," so trust the plan.🤮

Independent media like mainstream media news can transform a narrative so that a Texas mass shooter who is a Mexican gang member can be miraculously transformed into a white racist fascist nationalist.

It's not news, it's prestidigitation. And for my next trick I'll need a volunteer from the audience....😁
