Ynet News ^ | 6/26/23 | Ynet

Belarusan President Alexander Lukashenko has confirmed that the founder of Russia's mercenary Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is now in Belarus, according to Belarusian state news agency BELTA. His plane reportedly landed in the capital, Misnk earlier on Tuesday.

Under a deal mediated by Lukashenko on Saturday that ended a mutiny in Russia by the Wagner fighters, Prigozhin agreed to move to Belarus, while his men were given the choice of joining him or being integrated into Russia's regular armed forces.

Lukashenko also said his defense minister, Viktor Khrennikov, had told him he would not mind having a unit like Wagner in the Belarusian army. The Belarusian leader instructed Khrennikov to negotiate with Prigozhin on the matter.

Why no bloodshed?

Some folks are saying Wagner is now a "nuclear power" after they possibly took over a base and got all of the warheads - hence why "Prig" is still alive.

Time will tell....

Don’t know if it’s true but I read Putin wanted to kill Prig but Lukashenko stopped him

Does have a food taster?

Or does he just use a Geiger counter?

Should we take him out before he takes Putin’s job? Doesn’t do much for us either way. Do a Solomon on him?

Who knows if any of this is true or if the whole thing was a charade?

If and that's a very big IF this "mutiny" happened, as reported, then Prigozhin's life and that of the other " mutineers", 5,000 or 25,000, are not worth a plugged nickel, despite Putin's assurances.

A ploy to move Wagner's troops to Belarus for another attempt on Kyiv?

Why all of the theatrics?

Just put them on trains and move them.

It's not like the Ukrainians aren't going to be watching them, whatever their "status".

A ploy to smoke out discontents, in the Russian military?

Or the nuke theory.

Winston Chrchill:

“I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.”

Timothy Dalton was good. He was actually underrated.

Nobody knows, that’s why it’s fascinating.

Sure, a few posters will swear up and down they’re in the “intelligence” community (don’t believe them), and that they know - but nobody really knows.

I grew up with him being the active James Bond. Always liked him. He is always what my default visual is of Mr. Bond.

Most Bond aficionados still insist Sean Connery or Roger Moore are the best.

Roger Moore is a bit campy but he pulled it off.

Time to put the Bond Franchise on the shelf. 007 is not allowed to be himself due to the #metoo movement.

LOL, yeah I agree.

The next “Bond” will be a tranny.

“Feels like a Bond movie”

Or a Bond comedy wherein the Biden person is the Bond character.
