Putin's Decision to Cut a Deal in Belarus

Putin took the gamble at the right time, and it looked like he had a plan. He resembles Joker from Batman, who said, I'm like a dog chasing a car. Putin's grasp on power is very tenuous; there is nothing behind the curtain or very little behind the curtain. The speculation is that Wagner will continue to exist in some form or another dislocated base of operations into Belarus. But at the same time, he agreed to allow members of the Wagner group who want to sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense as well.
