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.

Good word - only the problem is that these events that we speak of are all deeply intertwined because:
Day 487 of the three day special operation to denazify Mexico. Mexico has launched a counter offensive against US held Tijuana and is suffering 500-1000 casualties daily
Joe Biden and Mark Milley try to dissolve the McDonald’s PMC which has become oversized and bloated with penal troops from prisons across the US.
They hreaten the McDonald’s CEO with treason and death if he does not comply. McDonald’s CEO takes his entire PMC and takes over Austin and Atlanta without resistance on the way to Mark Milley’s office. Joe Biden appears on TV, visibly shaking “Come on man, don’t fight man that’s wrong!” Seven Apache helicopters are shot down in the chaos and a command aircraft is lost
Justin Trudeau mediates a deal with the McDonald’s PMC to let them leave to Canada in exchange for not killing Mark Milley. McDonald’s takes the deal.
Biden super fans and legions of America-loving Twitter trolls applaud Joe Biden’s tactical wit and cunning in handling this situation.
It was all just a false flag they say. Another flawless win for the United states
The missing $6.2B Pentagon money may have played a role...
I doubt it because everyone knows Biden doesn’t think.
God save the queen man.
This is the woman who makes no sense. FOX dragged her out for a day.
So... A pencil pushing KGB bureaucrat and his cook Prigozhin are actually military geniuses... And this is all part of some nefarious military strategy that involves killing Russian air force piolets to achieve some deception of the west... This is laughable, but hey... Every now and then we need a good laugh... So thanks for that.
If you’re a lover of Putin, enjoy him while you can... His demise is forthcoming.
He always says that. That is his schtick.
LOL We are all gonna die.
“..Vladimir Putin worked with Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin to stage the recent armed coup as a “classic false flag.”..”
I don’t believe that. I believe the Wagner commanders refused to follow him in the revolt, and Russian soldiers didn’t desert and join in, and when the populace didn’t stage an uprising in support he realized he had made a big-time mistake and was open for a deal.
Remember Wagner has operations in many countries, not just Russia.
Who knows? Maybe the CIA is involved? I only say that because Biden is on record saying the US had no involvement in any of this.
And when Biden denies of confirms most anything. Just the opposite turns out to be the truth.
Remember per Biden, Trump is a Russian agent.

So if she (Rebekah Koffler) is still actually working with the DIA and the CIA, then I doubt she would be able to voice her own opinion without their clearance. That’s just how the CIA operates if you’re on their payroll.
Who know at this point? Perhaps just more subterfuge from the State Department?
The deep state did not put the imbecile “in charge”. The imbecile is a figurehead. The Deep State is in charge.
Who’s really the fool?
Looking at her creds, she appears to be a has been for some 3 letter agencies.
They may still use her in this manner.
Sure, Felicia.
A highly intelligent former convict?
How come he got caught then?
Anything is possible, but at this point, who’s going to trust the CIA or “highly intelligent” former CIA officers?
The Deep State is in charge.
I agree completely, but it is a matter of semantics. Without a recognizable leader we are a rudderless sailboat which is at the mercy of whatever direction the prevailing woke wind is coming from.
This situation means certain failure against whatever adversaries that we face now and into the future. Our blustery chicken hawk couch potato Biden supporters might as well be farting in the wind. This is the most ridiculous waste of money, live and equipment imaginable.
I'm the same. I get annoyed when I see the lavish funds being sent to "save" the Ukraine. I am sure that it is being diverted elsewhere.
