Putin's purge has begun

So now the reckoning begins. There was never any chance that Vladimir Putin would just sit in the Kremlin and say to everyone: "Let's be nice this time, we'll forgive everyone and have a cup of tea." No, there will be a Putin revenge, and generals are going to be summoned from all over the place. It seems that the general named by The New York Times as being party to the non-coup by Wagner Group Yevgeny Prigozhin has already "disappeared". The FSB internal security organisation is now busy tracking down any general who showed even a hint of support for the billionaire Wagner founder. This is an old-style KGB investigation and those in the firing line will now be trembling. What impact this will have on the Putin leadership and regime and the war in Ukraine is uncertain. But Putin's focus right now is to be seen to be tough and he's normally pretty good at that. What even he doesn't know is what is in the minds of his most trusted confidants inside the Kremlin. They may be swearing allegiance but what are they really thinking? Are they thinking Putin is losing it and might need to be retired off? This just might be keeping him up at night.
