Seems like everything is calming down
Just as the Ukrainians were getting their popcorn ready then this happensNo one knows how to get rid of dissident groups as the Russian government does, PMC Wagner group will likely not exist as a viable force after this debacle. What a day!
I strongly feel that we've all been taken for a ride though![]()
Is that real
My take and prediction still stands tho. The objectives of Prigozhn was aiming for changes within the defense ministry due to their failures in Ukraine (and the coup was unlikely unless he had top officials on board). Obviously, we don’t know the full details of the terms, but based off what they’ve briefed, he’ve succeeded in getting the Russian gov’t to agree to some concessions in return for stopping his marching.
On the other hand, if you believe that it was Putin who orchestrated or had something to do with this debacle, despite the biggest humiliation of his 20+ year rule (as evident by his appearance today and fragility of the country); then I don’t know what to say![]()
Have some humble pie. I made it just for you.
With all due respect, it still didn’t contradict what I expected to be the outcome![]()
You said the plan in the long-term was to take out Putin. You said it with zero evidence even with him saying that was not his goal. This was a planned operation. Now eat it while it's still hot and fresh.
I recommend that you follow his speeches and actions precisely from now onwards if you honestly think that this power struggle won’t involve attempts to remove the president. It’s highly unlikely as of now, unless people at the top switches allegiances. Prigozhin have even been pleadingthreateningdifferent defense, security and intelligence fractions to defect. However, the focal point seem to be targeting the folks in charge of the defense ministry and subsequently taking appropriate steps from there.

I wonder if this whole thing was to identify elements who want to coup Putin.... if Putin assassinates me I am requesting people to post conspiracy theories in the freethinkers section on my behalf...
