Stalin wasn't a lone wizard wielding the power of terror. In many ways the purges were an expression of younger communist careerists eager to get rid of Trotskyist, Zinovite and Bukharinist veterans so that they could rise in the ranks, and also show loyalty. The so-called terror from below. Putin has no below under him.

Well, hopefully they learn better methods than the US, I would expect a more sensible approach that what happens here

Very good interview about the Niger coup with Dr. Olayinka Ajala, at Leeds university, who's researched the country and the region for a long time.y h
The most interesting point for me was how this revolt could gain support quickly because the young people are getting better-educated, and have access to better information

So you have either nuclear and coal. Or renewables and coal.
Nobody is arguing effectively for nuclear and renewables around here.

I don't care if that turns out to be nuclear. What makes me furious is how politicians have been pretending it was nuclear, just as a way to not do anything at all.

So on the one hand that means a lot of the remaining Wagner main officers will be military craftsmen, rather than the blend of diplomat and politician and administrator that western senior officers are.
This means they may find it hard to organise what is basically a political task - an opposition to being absorbed into regular forces, or another PMC.
But this also means they'll likely be hard to force into the underlying role that the regular forces would expect them to play.
