Scott Ritter was on Judging Freedom to discuss the ongoing situation in Russia with the Wagner Group attempting a coup. I had not seen this until after publishing my take on the situation, but his analysis is similar to mine.
Ritter says that Prigozhin has been compromised and is now working for foreign intelligence services.

The fact that Prigozhin has Jewish lineage makes this a pretty safe assumption to make.
I also agree with Ritter’s take that this coup attempt is unlikely to succeed. The Russian military along with the Chechens will likely be able to put this down.
Of course, nobody knows for sure how this will exactly play out. We will just have to see what happens. There’s currently all sorts of stuff being said on social media about the situation and its accuracy is hard to discern.
