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.

The Wagner group was always a part of the Russian army. Progo is a figurehead.

Unlike you I support the American side. That is what I am currently doing.

I didn't know America was spelled 'Ukraine'.

What are you doing beside supporting Putin, Iranian Mullahs, North Koreans and the Chicoms?

An unwillingness to support or provide military aid to Ukraine in a conflict thousands of miles away does not automatically imply support for "Putin, Iranian Mullahs, North Koreans and the Chicoms."

Do you agree with all policies by the US? I suppose you agree with the border policy? The child gender policies in school? Shutting down the pipeline? The Green energy/anti fossil fuel policies, vaccine mandates on our troops, bio labs?

I think you get my point. I love this country. I highly disagree with our policy in Ukraine I disagree with other policies. That’s why I vote. I highly disagree in manipulation to overthrow foreign governments. Biden and western nations direction to overthrow Putin is horrible. Yes, that’s their desire. The entire approach has been so disasterous, it’s created an energy crisis. It’s caused nations to further mistrust the U.S., leading them to BRICS, which has weakened us. How can anyone support this war. There is nothing noble about it. To support this war, is supporting the weakening of our nation and further meddling and the sovereignty of foreign governments.

To these people if you don’t blindly support Ukraine because the media told you to, you’re an evil rascal. There is no critical or logical thought, they only repeat what the msm tells them to.

Yep but Putin is turning into Stalin. He's not going away. Maybe only old age will take him out at this point.

This may be true, however Putin did not say this during his speech - which is what they referred to in this claim.

I was about to say the same. I heard Putin’s speech. He never said this. Now, it may be true, however verbally in public - he offered Prigozhin to go live in Belarus.

This isn’t about Putin, but against this pro globalist war. But, Putin has globalist /NATO nations conspiring to destroy him. Somewhat like what Trump has been going thru.

Prigozhin and Putin seem to be on the same team.
