No coup for you.

I read an article that the warlord in charge of the Wagner Group, Prigozhin, is also one of those Oligarchs. Those are the guys who make money hand-over-fist because they have a relationship with Putin. Granted it's a corrupt and shaky relationship, but a relationship nonetheless.

Priggy started out as a caterer for the Kremlin, then he bought some restaurants that served the Kremlin and finally he formed the Wagner Group by going into prisons and recruiting prisoners to fight in exchange for reduced or eliminated sentences. After running a restaurant and his military gang, he decided to create a company whose sole purpose was to use the internet and social media to interfere in the 2016 US election.

Yes, you read that right, he's the guy that got Trump elected...

But now that he made a run at Moscow with his prison gang and made Psycho Vlad very, very nervous, he's been exiled to Belarus, a country run by a guy named Aleksandr Lukashenko who believes Psycho Vlad is a god.

Lukashenko is a throwback to the Soviet Union and is best friends with Psycho Vlad.

If Vlad farts, Lukashenko sniffs his ass.

That tells me that it's a pretty good bet that in the very near future, the caterer/restauranter/warlord/interneter/oligarch guy will have a bad accident. Maybe he'll fall from a very tall building. Maybe he'll have one of those "sudden" heart attacks. No matter how he dies, he'll be dead and Psycho Vlad can relax.

Or maybe this is all a big scam and Priggy is still working closely with Psycho Vlad. Maybe this whole "coup" and "exile" to Belarus thing is just an excuse to position Priggy and prison gang in a country whose southern border is just 50 miles from Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine...

Tomorrow they head back to Boston and on Tuesday they will start a three-game series against the Marlins.
