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.

Germany is a crap country overrun by Islam. You’re in no boat to be throwing stones. My regiment wiped the floor with you guys in two major wars, and as a retired vet, I don’t want EU, the west or anyone else imposing any nwo. It’s inevitable though as the Bible says, but that doesn’t mean I need to cheerlead it like some mentally deficient moron. I’ll leave it to you, you seem to have that down to an art.

You posted to ME first, Last-Worder - TWICE.

It's just entertaining to watch your childish shrieking fits on these threads.

Did Putin take away your Zeepfest too soon?

I am an American citizen and your head in the sand cowardice is in no way American.

Go ahead and pout like a baby how you don't want a world order. While Russia and China build theirs.

The Daily Beast is a RAT blog for progressives.

They're on it like a dog on a full catbox.

Wasn’t that from the audio clip posted on the Telegram or Sky News ? I don’t know if it is true or not but most of all I wonder how the Russians think they can win in Ukraine without the Wagner group.

It's kind of like the Confederates when they lost Stonewall Jackson. They lost the momentum after he was killed.

I don't really care what a racist thinks about me.

But it is funny how me and your tagline are forever living in your head.
We posted about it months ago.
But here you are being mental about it, again.
Thanks, that's solid proof of EPIC Butt-hurt right there.

Are you an idiot? You don’t measure the speed of an army
with driving your Mercedes on the Autobahn standards.

For an army to move across Russia toward the capitol 500 miles or more in less than a day is “speeding”.

Compare that to the idiot Russian general chasing him was stuck in a traffic jam at Rostov.

My best guess is that P’s military commanders balked at fighting a full scale revolutionary battle.

I don’t even know what ‘winning’ looks like for either side here. If Ukraine does push Russia and Wagner out of all the recently occupied territory, there is still a large population of Ukrainians with Russian sympathies. And that’s assuming the West doesn’t push Ukraine into trying to liberate territories taken back under Obama administration. And what is Russia’s objective? To annex the lands with the Russian sympathizers in eastern Ukraine and cessation of fighting thereafter? That’s a loss for Ukraine, and Biden’s “whatever it takes” speeches.

Could be. They know they'll run out of ammunition. Kadyrov had his Chechens coming to Moscow. So the Wagnerites will be forced to surrender or killed by the bloodthirsty Chechens.
