#on the other hand the West was incredibly quiet about the dam disaster

One interesting thing about this circus coup was what putin did when Prigozhin cornered him/put him under pressure. For so long, we keep hearing "don't give Ukraine weapons, putin might escalate", "don't poke the bear, putin might escalate", "if putin gets cornered, he might escalate." Prigozhin cornered putin, he put pressure on putin, and what did putin? He gave in. He made a deal. He did not escalate when cornered. He backed off.

In other words, give Ukraine all the weapons they need and do not fear escalation. putin is weak.
