I think bacause the media always portrays Russia in a certain way, you expect now that Prigozhin is instantly dead, no trial, shot on sight, missiles onto his residence... this is not the reality. In the West, there is no mutual understanding and negotiation, somebody always has to "own" somebody else, down-to-the-knees-lick-my-boots type. This fails to project to Russia and other countries outside the G7-bubble. Imagine that maybe, maybe the Russian government can reason and think, if it is feasable to start an internal war along a first or instead just send through Lukashenko a promise to him to call back his army? Also Putin never called him directly a traitor, even if he is one, because that isn't the style of Russian officials to call people names (unlike Western & Ukrainian policians).

I swear you guys can only compare the world to Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and map every villan so slavic politicians.

Good question, wasn't Russia appearing on an international summit right after blowing him up? Also it made the most sense to kill him after resolving a coup in no way another country would do, and throw that show of diplomacy away? And lose influcence in Africa with his death? You're like the high iq people who think Nemzov gets shot right in front of the Kreml is not made for Western audiences and media?

Also, blazero, how 'bout doing something else than creeping through my profile, like blazing some skunk or idk finding your Taiwan nation

You're very familiar with that, huh?

And Russian media has a tendency to portray Russians as having a unique super power to innovate things no one else can. This hubris has resulted in many of Russia's failures.
