Yes Sudhi, these things were known since dawn of civilization. Every human has a purpose and role.. even if most do not know it. A lucky nation has wise leadership which keeps these principles in mind, overlooks much during war by such men who’re invariably rash, impetuous and brutal in character.

But betrayal is absolutely intolerable and cannot be forgiven. They killed men and attempted a coup on behalf of foreign (& internal) enemies. It has to be dealt with to maintain cohesion and respect of others in authority and for justice itself. Maybe he’ll fall off a cliff skiing, or be dined on by a lion in Africa, or whatever — but those who need to know will know and can close this sordid chapter. It shouldn’t harm Wagner in the long run at all since he was essentially a PR front. The foundational soldiers and GRU spooks and other nuts and bolts remain. If Russia can somehow avert nuclear provocations and nuclear war itself, its future is incandescently bright!

‼⚡ Must watch outstanding interview. ⚡‼ Goes fast at 1.5 — 1.75x speed. Wraps another bow on overall contours of this affair. What remains are tactics of both sides, which will seep out eventually.. note his sobering comments at very end regarding the grim determination of the full quorum of the Russian Security Council. 

I assume Wagner camps were approximate to Artyomovsk/Bakhmut and Lugansk. Much closer to Rostov (and severing critical SMO supply node) than to Belgorod. All-in-all, if Ukie offensive had worked and they’d received internal power structures’ support, it could have been a devastating gambit, albeit short-term. Russia still enjoyed air superiority and escalation dominance and had nukes and as VVP said would have snuffed it out no matter what it took. So even in best case scenario, it was a mad suicide mission for short term political optical gains — like Feb 1917.

And that raises the question, who are the current bolsheviks, the follow-ons still under wraps and biding their time for the moment of serious weakening when the sixth column fools sufficiently did their task? I would think these are the most disciplined of all, not exposing themselves with making calls or premature celebrations or fleeing the country in panic. They remain burrowed in comfortable stasis like a hard dry seed….

Dear emerson, the ironies of history and how various personages flutter from era to era. You will love this. Tolstoy, whose grandson Pepe recently met in Moscow, appears linked to this bizarre coup by our torpid Chef.

I learned a few hours ago the centrality of Tula (both its river Oka and the young can-do governor, who used to be Putin’s bodyguard btw) and SVR head Naryshkin to defusing the cornered Chef and arranging his permanent sojourn abroad..

I wrote last year in our old Cafe about the history of the Voentorg building in Moscow. It was inspired by Auslander recounting the Russians still using a [minesweeper?] built from around WW1. The Voentorg building was similarly long lived.

It was built on the famous Vozdvizhenka Street, home to various nobility, such as the Tolstoys and Naryshkins. I am assuming he is of that family! But given his connections and career trajectory and intense patriotism for his land, what are the odds they are not?

And for a while, the author Tolstoy lived walking distance from Tula too. So on one of the most fateful days in Russia’s long history, a hopeless ragtag mercenary column was halted in Tula, and its governor and a Naryshkin were instrumental in averting bloodshed between Russians……

PS – Larch, the Chef was not expected to succeed. Just to start internal bloodletting and discredit the Wagner brand abroad. Perhaps that explains VVPs deep anger in the proclamation. They meant to put him in zugzwang — to have to kill a bunch of deluded and ill-equipped Russians on Russian soil. A humiliation either way. It would have unraveled many strong threads that took generations to weave, both inside and outside Russia. This is why the Tula gov, Naryshkin, Luka and whomever else finessed it will live on evermore as permanent heroes….

Well said. Many a bow being tied off, to mix metaphors, in this cruel age for a decadent and inadequate Hegemon..

And that’s why we love the old tiger! Is this the Anthem of the Russian FSB? He sings The Police to affirm what Smoothie and Ishchenko said; that this is the Keystone Coup of all times. Adding to galactic bitterness of our eternal Losers, the neocons — they’ve now cemented the prestige and secure power of VVP within Russia through this stunt. During the Spring Equinox, the Emperor XJP was wise to congratulate him in advance for winning the 2024 election.

“By Saturday evening, the foreign intelligence chief Sergey Narishkin announced that the coup attempt had failed. The Russian authorities were waiting for Prigozhin to make his move.“

Looking back, as he does over the Chef’s actions of the last year, it becomes clear to deduce the coup was building since 2022… everything, from the BS shells shortage now said to be stocking up, shaped the coming move this past weekend. (Q: are most dastardly stock market & regime change shenanigans scheduled for weekends?!)

“Interestingly, though, at some point, much to Prigozhin’s annoyance, Moscow also began deploying regular troops selectively on the Bakhmut front alongside the Wagner fighters.” All that talk of regular troops cowardice and ineffectiveness on his flanks… would a robber want to hemmed by the police breathing down his tight neck the days before the big heist?! 🤣😂

Maybe our poor Chef went literally crazy not from PTSD but the dawning realization every move was being checked in advance! His role strictly defined and boxed in. He and his troops would die honestly storming for nation, rather than dishonestly storming for power back home! 😂👍🏼👏🏻 Oh those clever Rooskies! Will not hesitate to use even a rotten tool for a good purpose lol. The sweetness of shaping, like water flows over its channel.

And the cherry: carted off like a freshly gelded steer to the pasture, “under the benevolent eyes of President Alexander Lukashenko.”

I’ve long loved our tractor farmer Luka. My favorite dictator for life. His narcissism and “multi-vector diplomacy” of most years since 1991 were worth tolerating. Look what he’s achieved since Jan 2022! He brought Nazarbaev and now the Chef in from The Cold. And even prior, the balls to personally face off the Belarus coup attempt with an AK in his stubby and well-worn hands.

But all this effort at regime change in Moscow is another notch on the ledger, after the economic war of sanctions, instrumentalizing the UkroNazis, funneling in arms, cash, ISR, media support, Poles & mercs, etc… He finishes a most thoughtful and foreboding article with the terrible accounting due the perfidious West!

What a piece by the Indian maestro diplomat.

You may be onto more than you know! I worked as a medical student in the psych ward – both inpatient and outpatient. The drugs they have now are terrible, precluding need of straitjackets. Indeed, some of the over the counter sleep meds like Colin Powell’s favorite Ambien lead to such mental sluggishness the next day as to be a form of chemical restraint! The entire Big Pharma Cartel is run by criminals who help create problems which require more meds with more side effects that require more meds ad infinitum….

did the MIC Merchants of Death learn how to create useless boondoggles and weapons systems for pure unending profit and constant maintenance and upgrades by watching the business model of western Big Pharma of the last several centuries??

Anyway, the rage he expresses in his videos is scary and frankly psychotic — beyond abnormal. In fact, i have seen videos of demonic possession that are like that. Nervous breakdowns can present opportunities for possession. And definitely drug use is another portal. In fact, the point of Ukies and NATO requiring their troops to drug up has clear secondary objectives, besides giving endurance and focus and other short term battlefield advantages (which cost the individual in recovery time and long term health) — it could be a conscious ploy to invite principalities to assist their side. That’s also why their nazi cadre leaders in Odessa and Mariupol were caught with male escorts — sodomy is another portal, like drugs… also famous in Himmler’s SS during WW2.

I also documented in Lineaments P07 the satanic shrines and totems found in Ukie foxholes and hastily abandoned battle sites… so this is a war on many levels, many hidden to us. I agree with Mr P and others that perhaps the Chef started his fall when he started using drugs (if he did so — it may be simple PTSD, extreme rage itself another portal, or narcissism) in trying to keep up with his youngsters. Remember he is 61 years old and not a spring chicken. He may have taken stimulants to keep up with the youngsters. Stimulants are given out like candy to many militaries, for example I heard of US Air Force to help keep sleep at bay and for focus on long flights. It also reduces hunger and may be cynical device on troops with reduced food logistics at the front…

Were there aircraft even shot down and men killed?? Could it all have been Telegram CGI and AI, used by the Usual Suspects to stir things along? Peskov did say at the conclusion that no blood had been shed. We could have been suckered beforehand …. dastardly social media!!

I am not so sure Mr P… that was genuine anger and discomfort on VVP’s face. They shot down a chopper and killed men. It was coordinated with the “counteroffensive” and many other moves. (Smoothie’s last video hints at what will eventually come out – that this was the real deal and their intel was onto it, and shaped it towards desired ends…)

Being branded a Traitor by Public Prosecutor is not a light matter, etc….. Yeah, men have taken a knee for their nation during existential times, but this is excessive. And risking the focus of the SMO and integrity of the critical defensive line during contrived Chaos? Naah, this is most unorthodox and unnecessary. Too many moving balls in the air….

Rather the Chef was turned at the end, or convinced to take an offer he couldn’t refuse. They had a full profile on him after living 60 sensuous years in St. Petersburg. They know their own and where to apply “counter-pressure.”

I am leaning toward Larry’s piece being part of Swamp copium. The stink of amateurism wafts to the highest Heaven! This is unlivable and so cringeworthy….. Oh, the serving of crow served to the sinking scum!

Like the Judge, Macgregor and Hal, he needs to periodically post matter from the Firm too..

😂🤣😘

The tsunami of memes which will come the next days will be unforgettable
