    Did he really just do all of that just to turn back?

    Wonder what Putin might do now, he should make sure Prigozhin pay big time otherwise he’ll definitely be seen as feckless, but at the same time he can’t really afford to eliminate what is still a significant arm of his invasion force

      The polonium treatment!

      Honestly though, was this just another dumb pointless trucker convoy by ignorant morons?
