Yup.

With rumors the defense minister has been detained coupled with Wagner blaming the defense minister for the lies justifying the invasion.... MAYBE this is some weird way for Putin to save face/stay alive while pulling out of eastern Ukraine?

But that sounds like bullshit, this whole thing is getting weirder by the moment right now. Smells like a lot of misinformation flowing from all sides right now.

Suppose Putin is in an information vacuum, like I've seen reported a few few times, then it doesn't seem as as crazy. Still batshit insane but not as crazy. Cool to think about though.
