Prigozhin’s coup against Putin failed, but it may have created the conditions that are necessary for success in a second attempt.

Prigozhin was a pain in the arse for the top table for a long time.
At one stage it looked like he and General Armageddon were positioning themselves to take over.
Then Gerasimov was sent in to push Surovikin to one side, and Prigozhin sent to destroy his forces in Bakhmut.
Once Wagner were rendered anaemic from capturing Bakhmut, Shoigu moved to transfer Prigozhin’s army to the MOD.
Prigozhin had to move.
