President Biden addressed the Wagner Group's revolt against Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime for the first time on Monday, saying the top priority for the U.S. and NATO was to establish that they had "nothing to do with it.

Biden says he asked for hour-by-updates on the situation throughout the weekend, in addition to holding virtual meetings with key allies. He clarified that the U.S. is still assessing the fallout from the weekend's events and went on to affirm that the U.S. is continuing its full support for Ukraine,

"They agreed with me that we had to make sure…we gave Putin no excuse to blame this on the West, to blame this on NATO. We made clear that we were not involved. We had nothing to do with it. This was part of a struggle within Russian system," Biden said.

Never believe anything until it’s officially denied.

"We had nothing to do with it"
I didn't think the U.S. had anything to do with this before Biden's statement.

"I don't even know who this Wagner guy is."

He can’t admit that he lost six billion dollars to a scam. It happens to a lot of elderly people.

A strong sign that they are guilty as all heck.

Yeah, we had nothing to do with this, like, we did not have anything to do with blowing up the Nordstream Pipeline

Well, that settles things, then, doesn’t it?

Good thing I don’t live near any of Putin’s presumed high-value nuclear targets.
