By now, everyone has heard about the narrowly avoided coup in Russia: Last Friday night, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, one of Putin's most trusted allies and the commander of the notorious Russian mercinary Wagner Group, marched on Moscow in an apparent coup d'etat, only to come to a swift agreement with Vladimir Putin and decamp for Belarus. While most commentators acknowledged that things didn't quite add up, the "expert" class happily concluded that at least it had weakened Putin in his war against Ukraine.
None seemed to realize the obvious truth: The coup was staged, and completely faked false flag operation.
Think about it: An army invades Russia, race right up to Moscow, and no one gets hurt? With just a few thousand men, it achieved what Hitler with almost a million men wasn't able to? And Putin holds his military back? And then, with Moscow supposedly within his grasp, Prigozhin decides, "Oh well, never mind" and heads to Belarus? Prigozhin would have had to be an idiot or suicidal to think that with 8,000 men he could invade Moscow. Yet Prigozhin is very smart man, a juvenile delinquent turned convict, then hot dog salesman, then CEO of a multi-million dollar catering business serving the Kremlin, to finally commander of the world's most formidable mercenary force. It is utterly implausible that Prigozhin thought that he could take on Rosgvardia, Russia's National Guard, a 340,000-strong domestic security force reporting directly Putin.
And then there was the footage of Prigozhin sitting a bench in Rostov-on-Don, bantering amiably with Russia's deputy minister of defense, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and deputy head of the Russian military intelligence, the GRU, Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev. It was just too chummy for a true rebellion.

Too funny - they see that Putin is now STRONGER than before the coup, so they now have to claim he staged it

So they think that being snookered is somehow a high ground? And, I might add there’s likely a nice U.S. taxpayer bribe to the Wagner film flam included in the snookering. Thinking you have the upper hand on the Ukrainian masters of corruption is a fool’s play. Scratch your head a little more until you figure out you’ve been had.
Why would mercenaries have anything to do with or be needed for Russian nukes?
If Russia has a couple of military bases in Belarus and thousands of regular military forces and is openly moving nukes to Belarus, why not just send the regular personnel assigned to those devices and operations?
How would Wagner fit into the normal operation of the Russian military units trained on and assigned to nuke duty?
Other than doing the usual which would be serving as security, how could Wagner have any possible connection to Russian Army nuclear weapons operations?
The West falls for a lot of things.
Or Crapgame.
Rebekah Koffler has cred. You're just some anonymous dude on Free Republic.

It pulls troops away from the eastern battle zone.
Biden is behind this
“ NOw the Wagner group will be reconstructed in Belarus…”
Seems to be the upshot.
I can’t see how Putin or Russia benefits from this “protest,” “stunt,” or “coup” that Progozhin did, whether staged or not.
If there was some hidden benefit (for example, bringing some traitorous or corrupted elements out into the open) then we won’t ever really know about it.
I understand why Russia may want to open a new front, or feint, near Kiev, but its not like Wagner could remain hidden. US satellites will easily see them massing troops and equipment.
Or the FSB had agents inside Wagner that made it fizzle out.
The coup wasn’t staged by Putin.
I wish it was true though. Because if it was, it would make Putin a direct enemy of the Russian people - because of all the Russian blood that was spilled during the coup :
6 Russian helicopters downed (2 of them were ultra high-tech)
1 large Russian army airplane downed
49 pilots, copilots and Russian army personnel killed.
And that’s only what they didn’t succeed to hide...
So if Putin did the coup he should be arrested by the Russian justice and get a life time in prison for the proactive and premeditated killings or Russian citizens.
Just their presence will make the Piano Stooge and his Banderite Azov buddies soil themselves, and keep back units from the Eastern Front.
Massing troops and equipment would be a plus for a feint.
Of course, I read that the Wangers turned over their heavy equipment to the Russian army.
Also the Russians are just to stupid to pull off a stunt like that. Somebodies imagination is in overdrive.
It pulls troops away from the eastern battle zone.
That works both ways. How do the Russians benefit from that?
To be a benefit, it has to be a fake movement, somehow having the Ukrainians believe there is more force there, than there really is.
This war is the most open, ever in history. Both sides have access to multiple platforms of drones, aircraft and satellites.
Deception is hard, and necessary.
The whole war is staged....probably...
The ukes want us bribery money from Joe Bribem...the Russians want to capture us war technology and reverse engineer it...
Wagner hastily leave Ukraine...ukes won’t attack if Wagner is heading to Moscow
The reason why this invasion keeps going on is to milk as much money from u.s. and NATO..
Bribem and blinken are probably double agents....using neoMarxists , blm, and lgbt, and wokesters as their useful idiots
IMHO...IMHO
Fair enough, Mr. Clemens. Thanks.
All we need to know is President Joe Biden said he had nothing to do with the ‘coup’ to overthrow Russian President Putin. Joe Biden often lies. He cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
Often?
