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.

Sounds like an Austin Powers script:
Biden: That's not my bag, baby.
ICC: One check to Prighozin, titled "Instigating Coups is my Bag", signed by Joe Biden

I don’t doubt that Biden got 81 million votes. I also don’t doubt that a some of those votes were legitimate.
To: McGruff
My guess is Biden literally does not know whether “we” (the USA Deep State) had anything to do with it.

It honestly didn’t even cross my mind for a second that the US had anything to do with it.
After hearing this, I am certain that we did.

“We were not involved.”
Coming from the mouth of Biden, that statement alone means they got shafted of their $6.2 billion.
To: nitzy
Ah the good old days when the USA was not using a proxy.

Which means they had everything to do with it. Remember the 6 billion they found ... did the Wagner chief stiff them.

'We had nothing to do with it' Instant translation: "We did it."

"Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.”
But if the "Wagner Revolt" had done something they would be fighting for the microphone to either take direct credit, or "I told you Putin's military was in trouble."
