Is Russian President Putin Freezing Out The Hardliners After Wagner Mutiny?

WNU Editor: An interesting post from the Financial Times .... Putin freezes out hardliners after Wagner mutiny (Financial Times). The problem that Putin has is that the most (if not all) of the people who are around him are "hardliners" when it comes to prosecuting the Ukraine war.

its Financial times. Every article from them I suspect. Putin knows or will know who to freeze out. Freezing out hardliners in Russia would be like freezing out vodka drinkers. Everybody is hard in that country. How do I know? They live and thrive in brutal weather conditions. not for soyboys.

When is the right time to purge a general? This is always a tricky question:

Hopefully, the history of this war will not end up rhyming with another part of Cold War history, the fate of nuclear missile submarine K129:
