@karuchokikete7722 : I think that claim requires some hard evidence, don’t you?

@draganjagodic4056 : Let’s hope so? It’s about time Wagner was wiped out.

@1djbecker : I don’t believe Lukashenko settled this either. I was just refuting a Russian troll by saying out loud what is obviously absurd if you take Putin’s word.

I think Prigozhin will paint it as being a, “rockstar,” among the people, but I suspect they were merely applauding his restraint. When he moved into Rostov everyone looked sullen and didn’t want to make eye contact with soldiers. Only when he left without fighting a battle did the locals cheer him on, with overwhelming relief! Putin now gets to divide and conquer, because people felt forced to pick a side and know they can’t take back their choices. Not many were smart enough to keep their mouths shut, so people are bitter about both sides and now feel robbed on both sides too. Hah!

@simplyamazing880 : Normally, I would laugh off such an idea as an appeal to madness, but not today. NATO has the perfect, legitimate, pretext: The Zaporizhzhia Power Station, which has been mined. That is sufficient cause for NATO to say they are directly threatened, because they are! If that thing blows it is four times the size of Chernobyl. That means a radiation cloud, 4 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 times bigger than the one that spread right across the northern hemisphere from East to West, reaching Canada and making weather reports the most watched shows world wide, whilst literally the entire population of Ukraine, and several millions from western Russia, pour into western countries fleeing radioactive death! The threat is already too big and our governments are being alarmingly too quiet about a very real possibility! My daughter is a PhD physics student and she’s been upsetting the family, and herself, with her talk of this. It’s the inaction of the west that I find most alarming. They blew the dam! Massively unprecedented terrorism is just another day at the office for Putin! And they have all the data from Chernobyl! To them it must look like the perfect act of terrorism! I hope you are all writing to your representatives?

Jessica Berlin is right. Not ONCE has Putin failed to back down when seriously threatened. Prigozhin knew this, which was why he got away with what looked like a suicidal ploy to the west. Putin is a supreme COWARD and has shown it every single time! NATO must secure the Zaporizhzhia Power Station! Write to your representatives! A no fly zone over the power station and a demilitarised zone with NATO occupying, demining and taking charge of the power plant is what THE WORLD NEEDS right now!

@Danr246 : IKR?

@mercedessuarez2124 : If it is, it’s failed, as the Ukrainian forces have redoubled their efforts on the front lines and continue to make steady progress. They have a string of fortifications along the border with Belarus, since Russia launched part of their offensive from there when this began. While there may be some kind of, “ruse,” going on, it seems increasingly implausible that it has anything to do with a sudden attack from the north. But we should hope that both Prigozhin and Putin are dumb enough and desperate enough to try something like that.

@Strathom1 : That’s a good question, and I’d love to hear some more analysis from Jake about that. We do know that some of the biggest leaks to come out of Russia, came from FSB double agents, including the invasion plan from the start. They also (as good as) saved Zelensky’s life by pre-warning him about more than one assassination attempt, and that Intel turned out to be good. Whether they’re doing it for their own ends, because they simply have a different agenda to Putin but still want evil outcomes, or whether the west is benefitting from just a few insider double agents, is totally unclear unless you’re the director of the CIA, MI6, or one of the other Five Eyes spy agencies, I guess? From the FSB’s point of view, having access to all information (or as much as Russia has at any rate) they could probably see from the start that this attempt on Ukraine was all but suicidal, and they’re probably just fighting to survive, whatever the outcome. Yes, Putin recreated the FSB, making it up from his old colleagues in the KGB and from his new mafia boss friends from various regions across his empire. So, you would have thought he would be tighter with them than anyone, right? But, these are the people who have spent their entire lives surviving and getting what they want, through the type of brutality that would make a Borgia wince, and by breaking every law under the sun, now all in a large organisation, who’s, “loyalties,” probably go first to their leaders inside the FSB and stop at their wallets. I would love to know more, but that’s a really hard topic to research. But they are a formidable economic force, so Jake probably knows way more than the average guy?

@karuchokikete7722 : Nah, I’ll stick with reliable sources, thanks. Besides, we’re all, “paying,” for Putin’s biggest heist in history, both figuratively and literally, already.

@freespeech515 : Well, stop lying then.

@FiveMCity : What? By fleeing Moscow? Real, “power move there.” Didn’t hear? It was Lukashenko who settled this dispute, according to the PoohTin himself.
