A Russian decision I can get behind?

Maybe, at least.  Some are arguing that the insane Russian/Wagner Group drive to take Bakhmut, a drive which has so far cost tens of thousands of Russian lives, is in effect a bid to discredit Wagner head Prigozhin from any designs on the power structure in Moscow.  Exactly how this would help, or hurt, Prigozhin's friend Putina is not clear to me.

All in all, though, in any civilized country, destroying tens of thousands of lives in an attempt to get a person sidelined from politics ought to be a criminal offense.  This is why, really, Ukraine fights.
