It's a soulless and savage (and ultimately mind-numbingly boring) spectacle, vulgar and cruel. As entertainment, I would put it on a par with dogfighting. By which I mean it should not exist, but there are too many psychotic people in society for it to ever be put out of its' vulgar, cruel misery.

EDIT: As power politics go, this is like the mafia or drug cartels, with a bunch of short-term clever but long-term stupid pigs jockeying for top position, using each other's families - their own wives and sons and daughters - as pawns, as collateral damage, as cannon fodder.

I think both Putin and Prigozhin mutually benefit here.

From what I understood, the aim of the mutiny was to oust one of the lower commanders. They got that, and Putin gets a score for both "stopping the terror against Russia, and being on good terms with allies of Russia" (in truly diabolical Russian sense), all with minimal bloodshed.

Green tea. So green it glows in the dark.
