Prigozhin Just Got Double-Crossed by Duplicitous Putin
The Daily Beast ^ | Jun. 26, 2023 | Nico Hines

Posted on 06/26/2023 9:50:35 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

On Saturday night, with his heavily armed mercenaries closing in on Moscow, Yevgeny Prigozhin abruptly announced that he was shutting down his insurrection after a negotiated settlement that would allow him to walk away peacefully.

Just two days later, the Russian authorities leaked word that the agreement was already toast.

After one of the most extraordinary days in modern Russian history, which saw Prigozhin seize the military’s southern command HQ in Rostov-on-Don before a column of his fighters sped toward Moscow virtually unopposed, it was announced that the former Putin confidant would be granted an amnesty and allowed to head into exile in Belarus.

Prigozhin—who forged his notorious reputation by running the world’s most bloodthirsty mercenary army—laughably said the deal was struck to ensure that no “blood will be shed” even though his men had already shot down several Russian helicopters and a military plane, according to reports from Russian military bloggers and the Ukrainian air force spokesman, killing up to 39 Russians.

When you take a shot at the devil, you better not miss.
He missed.

So all those claiming that Ukraine can’t afford a peace deal with Russia are right. Ukraine has been claiming Russia will get peace and then try again in a year or two when they re-equip their military.

Looks like they were right.

Putin won't allow Prigozhin to stop his New World Order.

C’mon it’s a process article. A DailyBleat dump piece centering around the slope-foreheaded Slavs who run their mouth on the Sunday Rus evening shows.

I agree. We're going to find out that Yevgeny Prigozhin has been poisoned in a little bit.

Over 650 miles in military vehicles.

Figure 40 miles an hour - 15 to 20 hours travel time.

But they "sped".

Playing on the ignorance of the IPhone audiences in the West.

"But muh IPhone said they sped!!"

Looks like a lot is going to happen to loud mouthed Mr. Prigozhin soon. Putin will not give him a chance to redeem himself in his war on Keiv. that way Wagner can’t change sides to a better paying USA.

I think it’s best to ignore anything from The Daily Beast or the so called “minority Republican”

Let's see, who I trust in all of this: the CIA? A CIA front newsoutlet? Biden? Nuland? Blinken? Zelensky? Linda and Stolen Valor? Prigozhin? Putin? MI6? MI6 front newsoutlets? Buggering public shool boys who edit UK news outlets who went to school with now MI6 officers? Justin Trudeau? Anyone working for the EU commission? The UN?

One could become reconciled to the prospect of nuclear war.

If Putin wants to survive, he'll need to pull Russian troops out of Ukraine and pull a Stalin at home. So his rivals will be eliminated before they think of trying to overthrow him. It worked for Stalin. Putin is losing some of that power. He runs the country on fear. So he needs to make his people fear him again.

"I doubt Progozhin got [to] where he was in Russia by being trusting."

I agree, so it is reasonable to assume that Progozhin had an insurance policy to avoid his inevitable dose of polonium tea. I wonder what it is?

I wish to remind everyone that the USA itself underwent an attempted coup in 2016-2017. Direct efforts by the same un-elected, intelligence apparatchiks didn't really end until 2019.

Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

Wait! What about all the conjecture Putin and Prigozin conspired together to snag 6.2 billion of CIA money!

Just more idiocy from those who will compose any conspiracy theory to show the Russian government as smart, strong,and an obvious winner...
