Knowing Putin...

Here's how I put it, over at WarrenKinsella.com:

Too funny. Prigozhin has been royally played by Lukashenko. Prigozhin needed to move as quickly as possible on Moscow, to win, or at least survive personally. The only thing now in Prigozhin’s future is either the end of a noose, or a firing squad. Boy, has he ever been clearly outmanoeuvred by Putin.

However, offing Prigozhin is a big mistake in the medium term: why did state TV go live? Because they know perfectly well that at least a plurality of the people are with Prigozhin. So, in the end, Putin may end up cutting his own throat if he kills Prigozhin.
