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.

Prigozhin is going to get the Trotsky treatment.
Pretty sure he is already used to that.
2500 yards off my south deck heh.
I roll with what’s going at home. I don’t care about what they are doing. My own country has gone to hell.
Putin is well-know to rape every deal he has ever signed.
So indeed, you can’t sign a peace-treaty with him. If you do that you have signed your death sentence.
A peace deal might be possible when another leader is put in place in the Kremlin.
“I roll with what’s going at home. I don’t care about what they are doing. My own country has gone to hell.”

Philosophically speaking I agree with you.
However, the world is deeply interconnected. If America doesn’t get all its high-tech electronic components from Taiwan and the EU our American industry will be forced to go into hibernation. The EU is in the same situation - it needs vital parts from Taiwan. Those semiconductors... the rare-earth elements from China...
I hate this situation. But we have totally lost our true independence.
When Trump wins the presidency at least he will start to drill for oil again, making America energy independent- again ! That’s a start at least.
So yeah, it's going to affect us.
Oh good. Ukrainian spy chief said it.
Whoopie said some stuff today too.
Go back to the village system, say goodbye to globalism, it’s done nothing but cause havoc and make it easier for the evil elite to implement their nefarious plans.
Maybe the Hamish people were right all along. You produce your own food and stay self sufficient without anyones help.
That means no electricity though... no internet, no www.freerepublic.com, no phones, no medicine, etc... But hey, why not. It would be whole different world.
Can you please show in Putin’s speech where he spoke this way about him.
It may be true. But, I did not see it. So, why would you read/post The Daily Beast on FR if they are FOC? Why are you posting an article that has no facts to back it up?
Did you read his speech?
Lol you probably thought he blew up his own pipeline too SMH wow
Amish? No medicine? They’re way healthier. Our modern healthcare is a bloody joke.
