For now an interesting distraction but honestly very few know what goes on inside Russia at the power broker level.

like maybe it's a show?
You think Putin is going to let Wagner reach Moscow basically uncontested? Unless Wagner somehow controls the entire air force I would imagine Putin would put this down pretty quickly with planes. My guess is Putin knows he needs the fighters and and PR wouldn't be good if just wipes them out.

like a battle?
 
This is like watching a Christopher Nolan movie. There’s too much going on. I can’t follow. Lots of people claiming they understand what’s happening
 
It's hard to believe anything from the media. Is it a russian psyop or a nato psyop
Prigozhin has been off the rails for a while.
Putin should have sidelined him after Bakhmut; mercenaries operating this close to home is asking for trouble.
That said it's difficult to know what's really going on.

there won't be a "civil" war in Russia...I am guessing that 75% of the people in Russia are fine with a change.
Bad guess. I sat on an airplane about 25 years ago after the fall of the former Soviet Union next to a beautiful 30-something Soviet girl and she was upset about it. Said her country (Russia) was in shambles now, no order and a "strong man" would arise to set things straight. My guess is there is a lot of "silent majority" support for Putin. Russians are arrogant pricks and can't see themselves as anything other than a superpower and Putin gives them their chance. The woman on the airplane also said the people in the "provinces" (e.g. Uzbekistan) were "sub-humans" and needed the Russians to govern them. This was her mindset and that of many, many other Russians.

As far as Prigozhin, he is a slimeball whom I expect will soon be taken out
 
The titanic disaster and now a Russian coup - someone needs to get this guy on the phone
