Not expecting much, but a coup of nuclear power isn't that simple. Even supposed enemies like the US might decide to help Putin rather than just stand by.

Would Wagner stand any chance at all in such a coup attempt? Or is this extremely likely to end with Russia's military being busy for a while but ultimately crushing Wagner?

I can see where you're coming from, but consider this: in this specific situation, who's Putin going to nuke? Himself?

The issue is rather how other countries assess the instability of either the conflict or the aftermath would affect their own national security or interests. You might not want any WMDs get stolen or important assets get killed.
