The out is just to blame all of the failures on Wagner. The Russian military is strong! It was Wagner that wasted all our equipment. They are the reason we lost.

The trouble is a significant number of people outside Moscow either stood down and let Wagner through or actively joined their convoy.

Makes me think this was a test to see who'd defect.

I've wondered that, but I think really that's more of an opportunity than a plan. Even then, it's a sketchy one, given how much support Wagner apparently has.
