What the hell is going on over there
Whole lotta WTF. But I’m thinking, if this guy with his own private army was vanquished so easily…there was a rumor his family was threatened.
He wanted to capture shoigu and didn't manage to do it. Probably failed to garner as much support as he thought he would and had to call it off.
You don't plan a coup for 9 months and not secure your family, common
Do you think he was vanquished or paid off? He's never criticized Putin directly, just those working under him.
Based on what I read, so far this is what I think happened.
