Putin's Chef and the Wagner Mercenary Group
The biggest story as we're sitting down to record on Monday, June 26th in almost every news outlet is the unfolding situation in Russia. I feel skeptical that we have much information about what's really happened and what will happen at all because we have no reliable narrators here. So our cast of characters are Putin, Pragoshan, and then we have in Belarus, Europe's last dictator, Alexander Lukashenko. I don't trust any of these people to tell us what has happened with any amount of accuracy at all. The one conclusion is that this is a brief, clouded, confusing, but definitive insight into the weakening power of Vladimir Putin inside Russia.
