Vladimir Putin and Putin’s chef Yevgeny Prigozhin in happier days back in 2010, when Putin’s chef ran a kitchen rather than Putin’s private mercenary army.

Enraged by Russia’s retreat from Lyman, Putin’s sycophants are now threatening further destruction upon the world.

Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov is now openly calling for the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, as his Chechen fighters reel from one defeat to another.

And as the New York Times reports, Yevgeny Prigozhin, Putin’s former chef who now runs Putin’s private army Wagner Group that is also flailing in Ukraine, has verbally attacked Russian military leaders, writing:

Send all these pieces of garbage barefoot with machine guns straight to the front.

This pretty much describes what Putin is already doing to his conscripts, no? What Prigozhin is saying is that Putin should also feed the the Russian army’s officers directly into the meat grinder. Which would leave Prigozhin’s Wagner Group in charge.

Kadyrov and Prigozhin know that heads will roll after Lyman’s fall, and they want to make sure that it’s somebody else’s heads. It doesn’t matter that Kadyrov and Prigozhin themselves are partly responsible for Russia’s disasters — along with Putin of course — what matters is who takes the blame, who is the fall guy, who is the scapegoat.

I will leave readers with a woodcut of one of the original scapegoats

Then Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the people of Israel, and all their transgressions, all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and sending it away into the wilderness….

— one of a pair of goats in a ritual. In the ceremony, the scapegoat is sent away into the wilderness to bear the sins of the community. The other goat — the goat that’s not the scapegoat — is killed immediately.

Kadyrov and Prigozhin may eventually envy the scapegoat’s fate.
