Why does Putin need to hire a mercenary army in the first place?
Putin should know what miscalculation looks like.
June 24th looks to me like imitation the Dems used J6 against their opponents I think Vlad is following their lead.
Brazil imitated J6 on January 8th this year and Pakistan did one on May 9th.
Now Russia’s turn.
“But they miscalculated.”
They sure did. Just like everyone who continues to state that Ukraine is winning/has won the war; this is simply not the case.
Putin is dying. No question. But he’s not dead yet.
One of my non Western or Russian sources of information on the Uke crisis is Victor Orban. I trust him more than either sides disinfo. Orban says the stalemated quagmire will continue. I agree.
“I don’t see much significance in this event,” Orbán said, answering questions about his thoughts on the march of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner fighters to Moscow.
He noted that the Hungarian special services had information about what was happening in Russia, and according to them, “it is not important”.
Orbán has clarified that he does not consider President Putin to be weakened after the events of this weekend.
“If this could happen, it’s a clear sign of weakness. But if it happened in 24 hours, it’s a sign of strength... You know, Putin is the president of Russia. So if anyone suggests that he might fail or that he might be replaced, then he does not understand the Russian people and Russian power structures,” Orbán said.
He added that in Russia, everything functions differently than in European countries. According to the Hungarian Prime Minister, Putin will remain president in 2024.
“Russia does not work the way we do. The structures in Russia are very stable. They are based on the army, special services, and police, so it is a different country, it is a military-oriented country,” the head of the Hungarian government said.
According to Orbán, Prigozhin’s trip to Moscow will have no effect on the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine.
“I think that everything is over, and the war continues. This is not an event that will lead us to peace, because I always look at this war from the point of view of peace, because I think that the most important thing is to achieve a cease-fire and somehow to agree to peace. This event will not play any role in that,” Orbán said.
This is the they that Putin is targeting. I just hope that their stupidity doesn;t result in "we" who didn't elect them, from getting nuked for their nihilistic idiocy. They want color revolutions around the world but they have nothing to replace it with except idiocy, incompetence and perversion.
God bless Putin, a wise and courageous leader, and a reasonable man.
Putin is not only fighting for Christian Russia. He is fighting against the globalist evil whose agenda includes every single component of the rainbow flag, including free sex with children, and free mutilation of children’s sex organs. IOW, the things the evil globalists are trying to impose on humanity.
Prigozhin made calculations Putin and his regime failed to make at all. Despite the sheer numbers of military personnel and equipment between Rostov and Moscow, there was no effective response. No unit responded in time to stop Wagner from going into Moscow and seizing the Ministry of Defense building.
Prigozhin backed down when he got the deal he wanted. How good is Putin's word and how Prigozhin lives ares open questions.
