So was this fake so that Putin has someone to blame for all the failures in Ukraine?

*And lets him have a crackdown on "dissent".

*And dissolve Wagner. But you can't just dissolve it because many are criminals. Now you can throw them back in prison.

*Or see who in the government joined with them. A test of loyalty.

Putin appears very weak from all this. I doubt this would ever be any of his ideas.

Wagner group has agreed they can report direct to president to show their loyalty, they are now trying to sell it as always loyal to Putin just not the ,"bad generals at the MoD that are losing the war".

That's an interesting event, but makes it seem more real.

Putin put on big daddy diapers and ran off on a plane when the march was hundreds of km away. Not exactly a power move.
