You want the “glass half full” or the “glass half empty” take on this scoop?

Let’s do both. Glass half full: Bloomberg says it spoke to no fewer than 10 people with “direct knowledge of the situation” inside the Kremlin. If 10 different sources are willing to tell western reporters there are doubts about the wisdom of the war, we can only guess how many Russian officials quietly share that opinion but are too afraid to speak up. Dozens? Hundreds? A clear majority of the Russian political establishment?

If you’re clinging to hope that a coup will oust Putin and end the war, this story is a glimmer.
