    I do. You don’t just march on 10+M city with what, 2500 people? the rest, incl pringles himself, were in Rostov. Maybe he thought that simply posturing will get him what he wanted, whatever that was

      When literally everyone who is paid to stop you from doing exactly what you are doing, it was more likely there was about 10 people in moscow who would try to resist and a couple million happy literally anyone else is in the kremlin. Just being able to plant his flag in the city would have been a major blow to his political rivals.

      He might not have held that power for very long, but he would have lived considerably longer since he already committed his treason.
