Prigozhin blames invasion on defense minister, says it wasn't necessary (Update: Russian army strikes Wagner base! Civil war?)
Hot Air ^ | June 23, 2023 | John Sexton

Every time I think Yevgeny Prigozhin has probably reached the end of his leash, he just goes ahead and says something even more surprising. I really thought he’d reached the limit when he refused to allow his mercenaries to sign an agreement with the army even though Putin (seemingly) ordered him to do it. As far as I know, that hasn’t been resolved yet. Wagner forces still haven’t signed an agreement.

But this latest public statement goes way beyond that. Now he is undermining Russia’s entire justification for the war in Ukraine, claiming the whole thing was a lie concocted by Defense Minister Shoigu for his own selfish reasons.

(snip)

I don’t think that was part of his statement earlier today, at least I didn’t see anyone else reporting it. I have lots of questions starting with: Did this really happen? Prigozhin has been trying to push Defense Minister Shoigu’s buttons for months. Maybe Shoigu snapped?

Anyway, this doesn’t sound like the kind of thing that is some kind of 11-dimensional chess by Putin. This sounds like one party of his army trying to kill another part of his army. We’ll have to wait and see what comes next.

I have no idea what they are saying in this video but notice the quote allegedly from Prigozhin: “A huge number of our comrades died, we will decide how to respond to this atrocity.” Is he talking about striking back against the Russian army?

Maybe you’ll believe Prigozhin himself:

Wagner forces are “marching on Moscow”? Just where does that info come from? Wagner and Russian troops are “killing” each other? And your confirmation of this that is not a reference to another consistently lying western disinfo source? I’ll stick by my correct read on this the last time the Wagner was in open revolt BS was being peddled by the usual sources of administration spin at FR. Or even my reaction the time before that or the time before that. Get back to me in three days and tell me about the bloody Russian Civil War of ‘23.

President of the Russian Duma just made a statement calling for Putin to kill Prigo.

That's not surprising. Today's Prigozhin rants brought up a lot of stuff about oligarchs stealing in Ukraine that might have offended oligarchs.

The Oligarchs are backing Prigo. They want their yachts back and the war ended.

Heh Sport, where’s that video of those Russian bombed Wagner units? Didn’t happen?!? Well, imagine that? Has Putin resigned or been shot yet? Is Moscow burning? How about checking over at the media masters’ feeding trough to get these answers for me?

LOL. I see you’re still in denial. And bringing up outside issues that have nothing to do with what you were denying.

By the way, what I said about Priggy has been proven 100% accurate. AGAIN.

“Hah, Hah, Hah, this is the funniest BS you’ve posted yet. Of all the Prigozhin attributed crap you’ve posted here, how about an example, other than Bakhmut falling, of ONE posting that didn’t end up being proven total BS? By the way, how’s that unstoppable Uke counteroffensive that you were posting about last week going?“, what I originally said.

“Prigozhin attributed crap”, what he purportedly said about attacks by Russian forces and how Russia entered the war has been proven untrue. Your Russian Civil War with this mercenary leading a column on Moscow and Putin fleeing, as I suggested, wait a couple of days and then tell me about Putin fleeing the civil war. You guys must be admired. Your ability to disguise the administration spin on this is very refined.

“LOL. Have you done any research yet? Do you realize how foolish you are for just dismissing news you don’t like, or are you still playing ignorant?“

Still laughing, brainiac? What a media putz. EXACTLY as I called it. LMAO
