Wagner rebellion - One day crisis

Russia crisis reveals 'real cracks' in Putin's authority: Blinken.  CNA
Putin’s ability to deal with complex challenges should not be underestimated. Global Times

Above are two contrasting headlines in the CNA and Global Times telling the same story about the Wagner rebellion. The Americans were having an orgasm, wishing and praying that Putin would fall. The rebellion showed that Putin has many troubles and may not last. The Global Times in a way praised the ability of Putin to deal with a very serious crisis like this and successfully put an end to the rebellion.

A rebellion by a main fighting force in the midst of a war, with the enemy launching a counter offensive, is the worse nightmare for the commanding officer. Instead of fighting the enemy, the soldiers are turning against their own forces. This provided a great opportunity for the enemy to strike while the iron is hot, when the Russians are fighting among themselves. It could be worse if the Ukrainians struck a deal with the Wagner forces, mount a joint attack against the Russians. Not only Ukraine would be fully retaken by the Ukrainians, a civil war would start in Russia, aided by an invading foreign force. 

Russia would be totally crippled, BRICS too would be crippled, the dedollarisation wave would be stopped and collapsed. The break up of Russia, with Putin dragged down in a civil war would all the initiatives of BRICS and the trend towards a multipolar world. China would be left resisting the Americans alone and all the smaller states would be in dire consequences.

It was a very serious crisis for Putin. No one could ever expect that this crisis would end in less than 24 hours, in a whimper. Not a shot was fired. Not a single Russian was killed. And the rebel leader, Prigozhin, made an exit to Belarus to end the crisis. And Putin must take full credit for acting decisively and effective to quell the rebellin. How would Joe Biden handle this? By the time Biden understand what was the problem, a civil war would have blown up.

Putin was able to nip the problem at the bud without it spreading. He had to make many decisions quickly to avoid a major crisis that would topple Russia and turn Russian into a bigger Ukraine. Thank God, he made all the right moves and everything was over while Nato and Ukraine were still in a meeting to take full advantage of the crisis to win the war. 

All these showed that Putin is indeed a great leader, a great crisis manager. Instead of being weakened by the rebellion, he has shown his ability as the man to lead Russia to greatness. He is the man of the moment and walked away as the unchallenged leader of Russia. America and Europe better think carefully in dealings with Putin, in taking Putin on. No one in America or Europe is in the caliber of Putin in crisis management. There would be more admiration for Putin than doubts that the Americans hope to create and to smear him, if this is a real rebellion. It takes a maverick to put down a 25,000 heavily armed men rebellion without any escalation or bloodshed.

Now everything back to square one, back to normal. It is the Ukraine War and nothing else.

PS. Just received a message from an ex CIA agent, that the rebellion was a ruse to make the Americans pay US$6.2b for a stage coup against Putin. The money is now shared between Putin, Prigozhin and Belarus President Lukoshenko.  How true is this would depend on what happens to Prigozhin. Would he resume command of another Russian or Belarusian force to fight Ukraine?

The US expected more resistance to the coup attempt by the Wagner private military company as Evgeny Prigozhin advanced on Moscow, a source has told CNN, predicting that the aborted insurrection would be “a lot more bloody than it was.”

The intelligence community in Washington claims to have had advance information about Prigozhin’s actions, according to reports in the US media, and also believed it would result in greater bloodshed.

“I do know that we assessed it was going to be a great deal more violent and bloody,” the source told CNN. RT

Is the above an indication that the Americans were the mastermind in the rebellion, but the Russians upended them by playing along?

Hi Anon 10.28

Till now the so called "Coup" is over and yet the Channel News Amerika still broadcasted non stop the footage of the first happenings as though the so called Rebellion is still on.

Also, kept parroting the fake news of Putin's troubles and weaknesses as organisms by the West.

Hoping that Putin be toppled and at least Urukiane be saved.

What's you expect the Bananas of Sinkiekand that are so Pro West with their brainwashed nincompoop thinking.

Also, been sponsored by the UAss's supposed propaganda funds that are been printed out from thin air without even a sweat.

All, if NOT most their commentators are from the Pro Western Countries doggies states.

Likes of South Korea, the Philippines etc.

Whereas our own locals are thrown into the COLD rooms of non peak hours of brainwashings.

How is it possible that the USA knew about the move by Prigozhin days before it happened as reported, and that Putin was in the dark twiddling his thumb and taking no action as they claimed? USA may have informants within the Wagner Goup, so does Putin. Moreover, there were still a large section of the Group that did not participate in the mutiny. They do not know about it? No one reported to Putin?

Yet, even before the Wagner Group attempted to march to Moscow, the Russian military was already surrounding Moscow and the Chechen fighters were already forming a reception party for Prigozhin.

There is a possiblity that Prigozhin, Putin and Lukashenko were performing a Russia Boshoi Ballet to entertain the Western Leaders and MSM, while perfecting their plan to move the Wagner Group to the north, nearer to Kyiv without raising any suspicion. If Russia move Prigozhin without reason to Belarus, it will surely raise alarm in the West. With tactical nuclear weapons now in Belarus and with Prigozhin having his base in Belarus, Putin may be orchestrating a move to end it once and for all.

Let us move back to the start of the Ukraine War. Russia moved troops to surround Kyiv, giving the impression that Putin's target was Kyiv, and the USA/Nato and Ukraine took the bait by fortifying defences and troops around Kyiv, while the Russian troops remain at bay surrounding the capital. Behind the stagnant move around Kyiv, the Russians attacked with full force the Ukrainian troops in the Donbass region and later took control. Ukrainian troops in Kyiv were unable to reinforce their fighters with more manpower, ammunition and even food in Donbass and the Russian took advantage. The Russians later just withdrew from surrounding Kyiv, and the Ukrainians started claiming Russia's defeat sorts. Was that a master stroke by Putin? But it was a ruse which the USA/Nato and Ukraine fell for. Of course the USA/Nato and MSM never wants to talk about it as it puts their intelligence in doubt.

Our local reporters would be assigned to write about what to eat, what is the best ice cream, what utensils to use, what kinds of pets to keep, how to groom dogs etc etc.

The serious news are now written by foreigners or locals that are not Singaporeans or new citizens.

This is as good as foreigners writing our news.

The Americans and Brits were deeply disappointed that there's little Russian bloodshed in this Wagner rebellion. They were hoping more Russians killing Russians, just as they were hoping Chinese killing Chinese over Taiwan.

Actually we have Singaporean correspondents in China for.ST and CNA. However, their reports, esp opinion pieces make no difference with those from the western media and news agencies. SO why bother to send them to China, US,Taiwan for examples if they.can get the same news cheaper?

How to have bloodshed with a classical performance by the famed Russian Bolshoi Theatre?

The idea was to make it as realistic as possible in order for the West to swallow the plot, gloat about another Russian Revolution coming, become feverish and let their leaders have multiple orgasms about Putin losing control.

Now that Prigozhin has his base in Belarus, with nuclear weapons at his disposal, it is time for the West to think of the backdraft that may be coming.

Let us be reminded that the bad blood in existence was between Prigozhin and the Russian Military leaders, with no indication of a split between Prigozhin and Putin. Prigozhin would have highlighted that, as he is terribly outspoken in his stance. That is a telling sign. And the fact that no action was taken by Putin against Prigozhin is even more suspicious. Sure there may be changes to the Russian top military echelon, as what normally happens everywhere, but the main objective of putting the Wagner Group in Belarus went without a hitch and causing no alarm in the West. All the talk is now about Putin losing control, the cracks appearing and Russia is on the verge of collapse.

By the way, Putin was supposed to have six months to live since the start of the Ukraine War. How long has the Ukraine War lasted so far?

It's a coincidence that one day after The White House announced that USD6.5 bln was wrongly declared for Ukraine, Prigozhin attempted a coup. It would be very difficult for Prigozhin to refuse an offer of a bln or two from the extremely corrupt old Joe Biden.

Heard from my very reliable source that Old Joe got pharked nice and proper by Prigozhin at the end.

Old Joe must have been pharked and is taking action against the Wagner Group in Africa, days after the failed mutiny, with sanctions over the Wagner Groups' control of the gold mining activities. Prigozhin could have played out the old goat nice and proper. US$6.2 billion is a lot of money, but true loyalty is worth much more. The USA thinks that money always talks and bullshit walks. In any case how could US$6.2 billion more aid to Ukraine be a miscalculation is mind boggling and trying to fool the world.

So much money, trillions in fact, lost in the past by the Pentagon and could not be accounted for is all a convenient cover, a ruse in fact. Let me just say that nothing is lost and the unaccounted money goes towards funding terrorist, NGOs, opposition parties in countries that they want to destablise the legitimately elected Government, and of course paying groups like Wagner to turn against their employers. That kind of payments for vile and abnoxious undertaking cannot morally be accounted for and any fool will know how to cover that up with lies.
