Mr. Putin's speech condemning the mutiny came half a day after the mutiny started, and the speech was PATHETIC. It had an amateur historical reference to the [1917] revolution. And then, it was just morally imploring people to protect the state and to protect him.

This wasn't a tyrant saying "I'm going to take control." This was a crybaby saying "Save me! Save me! Save me! Save me!"

And underneath all of that was incandescent anger at Prigozhin, because Prigozhin triggered Putin's most traumatic reaction and biggest fear, which is to end up in a kind of Gaddafi predicament.

So the idea of revolution is Putin's worst nightmare, and that speech conveyed RAGE at Prigozhin and gave people the indication that Putin's going to deal with the situation toughly.

But what happened? There wasn't a follow-through. There might be. But so far, that speech didn't get translated into practice.
