Blinken: Russian Rebellion Shows ‘Cracks Emerge’ in Putin’s Leadership
Breitbart ^ | 06/25/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/25/2023 7:38:41 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the armed rebellion led by the head of the Wagner paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin shows “cracks emerge” in Russian leadership.

Blinken said, “We don’t have full information obviously and it is too soon to tell exactly where this is going to go. I suspect that this is a moving picture and we haven’t seen the last act yet. But we could say this, first of all, what we’ve seen is extraordinary. I think you’ve seen cracks emerge that weren’t there before. First, in having Prigozhin raise front and center questioning the very premises of the Russian aggression against Ukraine to begin with, the argument that somehow Ukraine or NATO posed a threat to Russia and a direct challenge to Putin himself. So, think about it this way, 16 months ago, Russian forces were on the doorstep of Kyiv, Ukraine, thinking they were going to take the city in a matter of days and erase the country from the map. Now they have to be focused on defending Moscow, Russia’s capital, against mercenaries of Putin’s own making. So this raises a lot of profound questions that will be answered I think in the days and weeks ahead.”

“Amy klobuchar said the same thing..”

Word for word. Which shows one of them doesn’t have a brain of their own (my money’s on Klobuchar).

Yeah, she hasn't got a lot of brains - but she knows where to score hydroxychloroquine for her Covid-sick husband when it's FORBIDDEN to the peasants.

I noticed that Wikipedia has scrubbed that little incident...

They just conned the Biden administration out of billions of dollars they had to pay the Wagner something they’re used to being paid a lot Putin couldn’t just kill him because 25% of them are at special forces and they’re devoted to Russia so they needed an answer they couldn’t just pay them because the other forces, the Russian conscripts are eating beans and rice so they had this planned. I’m pretty sure they planned it they Conde the US into paying those mercs ... it doesn’t even matter if it’s true now because the world thinks it’s true so the damage is done

Blinken, a well known liar speaking on behalf of an illegitimate, corrupt administration headed by the biggest liar in American history.
I guess this means Putin is pretty damn secure for now.

the CIA pushed a false flag with a coup attempt by talking up some mercs who turn around and double cross the CIA thereby outing all those disloyal to russia and putin.

putin then mops up the traitors, their version of the deep state, and goes back to work.

yeouch. that had to sting. people at langley aren’t happy.

Russia is rapidly withering on the vine

Russia is far from secure internally as prosperity disappears.

I think that 6.2 billion was paying for this clown show. The big mouth yakkers like Blinkie always expose themselves because they can’t shut up and most likely got hosed by Russians.

Russians will buy some US and EU weaponry from the Ukey black market for 6.2 billion. Hahaha!

Blinken looks like Tim Robins. People keep blinken that they are seeing Tim Robins. So Blinken always has crack on his mind because he can’t believe his good fortune of looking like Tim Robins. He thinks he’s a Hollywood actor who loves crack.
