He doesn't have the military resume of that other guy you implied.
A "civil war" is wishful thinking on OP's part, but it's definitely a step-up from before. I've been following this closely, and there haven't been any clashes or even marches yet. The old Kremlin gremlin ordered for a few APCs to be put on the streets of Rostov and Moscow, but that's about it as far as preparation goes.
Cynically put, when he is no longer convenient for Putin to keep around.
In another sense - he's a minor warlord, with ~50,000 armed followers, in a huge country. He controls ~zero of the infrastructure, air forces, etc. which would be needed for him to mount even an obviously-doomed bid to topple Putin.
On that note, here's a new development: https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-war-russia-nuclear-647a54...
When does he cross the Rubicon?
