Fox News guest Rebekah Koffler claimed during an interview with host Eric Shawn on Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin worked with Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin to stage the recent armed coup as a “classic false flag.”
Over the last 24 hours, chaos has upended the military and political establishment in Russia after Prigozhin marched his paramilitary group from Ukraine into Russia, taking over two cities and marching his men toward Moscow. In a sudden turn of events, however, Prigozhin reportedly called off the armed coup after negotiations with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko.
The rebellion represented the largest existential threat to Putin’s regime since he took control of Russia over twenty years ago.
Koffler, an intelligence analyst, claimed during a long-winded nine-minute rant on Fox News that Putin orchestrated the coup to boost his political power in the Russia.
“My intelligence analysis suggests, Eric, that this is a classic false flag operation that’s been orchestrated by Putin and Prigozhin,” Koffler told the cable news host. “Prigozhin is not a stupid man. He’s a highly intelligent formerly convict. He turned his life around from a prisoner to a hot dog stands owner to the owner of a multi-million catering business that served the Kremlin, including Putin himself.”
Koffler notes that the Wagner group 50,000 men in Ukraine while Putin’s National Guard, created in 2016 to put down social unrest, has 340,000 men enlisted into the group and the Wagner forces were being tracked every minute” by the Russian security service.
“So again, what has changed from this in the last few hours? All of a sudden he decided to turn his troops around and made this deal? No, this is all staged,” she added. The analyst then appeared to claim that Putin used the rebellion to boost the mobilizations of recruits for the military.
“Putin wants us to believe that he’s weak, that there’s an ongoing threat of a military insurrection,” Koffler claims. “So this is a pretext to declare martial law, which Putin has already done. He made an amendment today that anybody who is violating the martial law is going to be imprisoned for 30 days. Another very interesting and revealing point is that Putin just authorized that men with a criminal record can join the military.”
“So this is a justification for extra mobilization of the Russian forces to send them to the meat grinder in Ukraine. It is also to demonstrate to President Biden that, no, Russia is not a threat. Russia is actually, you know, involved in its own domestic turmoil. But this is all a classic distraction and classic Putin,” she said.
“What you’re describing is like three dimensional chess. That’s a type of thinking that is just beyond,” Shawn said in response to Koffler.
Near the end of her interview, Koffler predicted that Putin will remain in power and potentially used the coup to get rid of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
“In the meantime, Putin is going to gain momentum, mobilize additional personnel, and re-energize his offensive on Ukraine,” she concluded.
Watch above via Fox News.
Likely, true. And now, he has Wagner in Belarus.
Well it won't take long to see if this is the case.
It could be a plausible scenario, but it's a bit out there ..
Over the coming weeks it should be a bit clearer.
From what I’ve seen it kind of freaked the chicoms out a little.
Now here is my question ...
when putin pops off a tact nuke ..will any one do more then
make firm statements at the un?
I would believe “foreign actors” encouraged the rebellion with offers of massive cash support and assurances russian military would also come on board. When it didn’t happen the poor guy realized he was on his own against the Russian government and thought to get out while he could.
“Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,”
Slow Joe does’t know how to think any more.
Russia is no threat to Biden. They helped get him elected.
kind of like how putin blew up his own pipeline.....
4D Chess.
“What you’re describing is like three dimensional chess.”
It is more like 4-dimensional chess with time being the 4th dimension. The deep state put a geriatric imbecilic in charge on our side. It is a little hard to believe the number of fools who bought into this scam.
If I were running a false flag, I’d run one that didn’t cost me pilots and planes (if that in fact happened).
As it is, I believe nothing coming from either side or the side line. I just see a lot of loss of life and resources for no appreciable change in the status quo, and certainly no good coming to the U.S.
The apophenia is strong with this one.
So Putin sacrifices own airmen. What a guy
Airmen sacrifice is part of what makes up this FalseFlag rope-a-dope. It gives the operation credence.
In other words, 'Russia, Russia, Russia'.
Okay...
If anyone has adequately explained why Putin would not have preferred an HRC victory over Trump in 2016 or Biden over Trump in 2020, I haven’t heard it.
Actually, Graham and Blumenthal have put forward a resolution to treat any nuclear release as an article 5 trigger.
So yay. Nuclear war should show Putin we’re super, super serial. Man bear pig is real!
Excelsior!
Except what does that say to the Russian Air Force...?
1. Look weak when you are strong and then when everyone starts laughing you dispel the belief in preformed prepropagandized conclusions that Putin is out, only to be shown up as a bunch of bollocks.
2. Show the American deep state up to be run by fools, idiots and wankers - see 1.
3. Clip the CIA for $6.2B shared between Prig, Wagner, Putin and Russia.
4. Move Wagner to 100 km from Kiev while no one really notices until they are there.
5. So now deep state - is the threat on Kiev a distraction that can be ignored - inviting attack from that direction, or do you weaken forces along the current front and weaken that.
6. The American people are noticing, the world is noticing and Garland is telling obivous porkies.
7. Apparently even Milley is saying that Ukraine cannot be won and settlement negotiations are wanted.
8. But the idiot chicken hawk neocons are not going to be fooled into giving up when they are on the verge of VICTORY - oh well pretty soon anyway. Wankers.
