For the people who do not know Machiavelli: Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli ( 3 May 1469 - 21 June 1527), was an Italian diplomat, author, philosopher and historian who lived during the Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince (Il Principe), written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death.[8] He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science. All he said in his life is now coming true.
Putin simply wants to be in full control of everything. Obviously, one man can't possibly do the job but no worries. Nobody will tell him how things really work.
0 you must be talking about the Loony Left and the Democrats hopefully you don't live in the US because when the conservatives take over we will drop kick people like you out :):)
Russia is what Churchill says looking from the outside in. Looking from the inside out it is an absolute dictatorship where one person decides what reality is for everyone under that dictator. Vote red for fascism. Vote blue for democracy.
There are two predators that covet absolute power. I never underestimate Putin... Chechnya. He and Trump both love to twist the truth into something unrecognizable. Results in thoughts... like this potential: Next week news, Russia claims of US/Ukraine strikes in Belarus for nuclear missile movement, coincidently they deny it. Wagner leader just happens to die from collateral damage. As a result, Putin states he will attack both countries. Trump claims he is the only one that can stop it all, but only if he is made president immediately, while Putin insist he will deal with no other, not until Trump is in charge of the US. Price of the deal? Return Alaska to Russian control. Trump rewards are he/his family gets to run a major business in Moscow, funded by Russia, for next 40 years.
Well who else but Putin ran their country not for their people but to aggrandize only themselves? Idi Amin comes to mind, along with Kim Jong-Il and Kim Jong Un, of course earlier: Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler. Then there are the current weak kneed wannabe's - we all know who else is in that camp.
Vladimir Putin confronts his speechwriter after giving a speech. “You said my speech would be 15 minutes long, but I had to speak for 45 minutes!” Putin exclaims. His speechwriter replies: “Mr President, I gave you three copies.”
To call them criminals and treasonous twice, promising to crush them, only to offer amnesty immediately is, to put it mildly, mixed messaging. It proves weakness, as there’s no way in hell he’d offer it otherwise.
funny how you said he went mad and was a criminal and the worst man on the face of the earth in all history for acting in Ukraine, but call him weak for being forgiving in Russia lol admitted, you just wanted this to get out of hand and you're mad Putin was able to fix this without Russians fighting each other. After all, that was the only way Russia could be beaten, because in the front, they're pounding the collective West
A child once cried on church and the parents was so embarrassed by it that they gave their kid a can of coke. Of course the kid learned that by embarrassing parents in public equals reward so the kid did it over and over again to a point where other kids began doing it too. Funny story.

I'm pretty sure the convicts were used up as cannon fodder in Bakhmut. Russian battlefield strategy for the last 300 years or more consists of throwing young men at the front lines on suicide missions until their enemy can't keep pace and have to fall back. Also, they have 2 lines behind the front line that shoots their own soldiers that don't move forward. These cannon-fodder suicide-mission battle plans are the reason why Russia *always* has many times more casualties than any other nation in every war they participate in, and it's not even close

Prigozhin is one thing but I cannot imagine many people in Belarus would want to host large numbers of Wagner soldiers, least of all Lukashenko. If they can be used against Russia, then they could just as easily be used to instigate a coup in Belarus.
Imagine fighting and dying for Putin, only for him to completely forgive your killers a few hours later. Thats what the mothers of those russian pilots have seen Putin do… as well as run away of course. The world seen it all.
That wasn't Putin. People close to Putin tried to convince him of the need to speak to the nation, but he categorically refused. Then it was decided to take a recording of the speech of the president's double on June 24 in the evening, following the completion of the rebellion, which the president "rejected" then and forbade it to be broadcast. It was edited to fit today's events. It should be noted that when the final version of the edited "appeal" was presented to Patrushev, he laughed like never before. Later, the video was provided to Putin for review, first he resisted, but he was convinced that it was better than nothing. In the Presidential Administration, the video was called a stand-up comedy.
As some pointed out. 2021: Russia 2nd strongest army in the world. 2022: Russia 2nd strongest army in Ukraine 2023: Russia 2nd strongest army in Russia
Its not that they're weak man, they don't have moral, moral is key in winning fights. Their fighters see that they can't gain something beneficial to them fighting against Ukraine.
i remember when so called experts said that Ukraine would fall in a week , no point in supplying weapons - so much for so called " experts " . Glory to free Ukraine
I truly believe Lukashenko leapt at the first opportunity he’s had in ages to lessen the leverage Putin has over him. If an indebted wagner is based in Belarus he’ll have a force capable of propping up his regime without Putin’s aid.
Interesting point. But I think if Progozhin shows up in Belarus, its a matter of time before he either drinks a radioactive cocktail or accidentally falls out of a hotel window.
@@jojoleaf2112 I’m not convinced they can pull off the relocation, but I’m pretty confident Lukashenko really wants it heh… wouldn’t count on Prigozhin lasting very long.
Prigozhin runs an army that technically belongs to Putin, and figuratively, to Russia. So, Putin owns it, but Prigozhin has his army’s loyalty. He could have taken the Kremlin, if the Russian troops guarding the city are in any way as undertrained as the front line troops of the Russian army in ending Ukraine.
I just commented before I even watched to help your algo but man you're a deep dude. As an Aussie I know what you mean about the capitalism thing, we are legit free as can be here. Our healthcare is unreal and just what we can access for recreation etc on the weekend is quite special. And to the yanks, yes we can get guns if we want too, just not serious military grade shit. Hope you can keep the head right my man, you do such a fantastic job. Don't hesitate to take a break whenever you need it, we won't judge, just don't take flights when the wildest shit happens!! We went a bit mad on tele 😂
Just the fact that when Prigozhin approached Moscow with his band of mercenaries, putin and all the gov members, ran out of Moscow in all directions as fast as they could... No one, literally, no one came up to oppose him... That's the huge damage to the putin;s reputation, as the "strongman in power".
Has Prigozhin actually been seen since he left Rostov? If he's still breathing, I'd be suprized. #Pootin is notorious for nailing anyone who backstabs him. People like Navalny; #Pootin sees him as an irritation and nothing more. What Prigozhin did was beyond next level. He didn't just backstab Pootin. He also pretty much pants him in full view of the entire planet. No way in hell is he gonna get away with that. Pootin will have him killed, assuming of course he hasn't already.
@TJ-pq8jr Putin is weak. Russia sent bombers to Kiev and Zelensky stayed. Putin fled moscow because a couple of APC's were spotted nearby. That man is toast.
I mean, I get what you're saying but... Bombers don't really concern you when you have a slew of anti-aircraft weapons at your disposal and those bombers are crewed by poorly trained Russians. It was more than a couple APCs. It was roughly 25k troops heading toward Moscow. Granted about half that force was still prepping to mobilize. The other half was steadily making progress toward the capital. Zelensky has a capable, willing, and loyal fighting force between him and Russia. Putin would be lucky to say that about the 100 people closest to him, nevermind a fighting force outside his inner circle.
@xmarine73 I agree, but Russia had absolutely air superiority capabilities, a marching with more mechanized equipment than the world has seen invade any country since WW2. I don't believe it was 25,000. Prigozhin didn't have 100% participation just like a military of 1million never has 1million on the front line.

Ask a military strategist and apply causal inference to what happened; roll it back and replay it slowly and you will understand the strategic move to Belarus which is the first "check". A lot of tactical moves have caused the amplification of fatigue on the defending side. Pure chess play
One question I have: If Prigozhin really betrayed Putin as much as he did, why would Russia put him in Belarus? Belarus is a very strategic and important location for Russia facing Poland and Ukraine, not to mention Russia recently just put his nuclear weapons there. Will Putin put a serious threat in such an important location where Prigozhin can jeopardize everything he has there given how effective Wagner is. Something doesn't drive here.
True. OR was this all a sham, giving Putin an excuse to move the Wagner group to Belarus to protect his nukes . . . or to actually use them against Ukraine.
Very good point. Priggy could easily make trouble for Belarus and even take over the nuclear weapons there if he has other Wagners with him. At best, Priggy is only there temporarily.
It not hard. You don't let Prigozhin flee to a NATO country where he can sell his soul for amnesty -- and give Russia's enemies incredible inside intel. You let him go into exile in friendly Belarus were he'll die in the next 24 months from some inexplicable radiation sickness. You then give your hardened Wagner mercs an out by joining the military proper and push them into the worst shitholes of the Ukranian front where they have ample opportunity to die for their country.

I wish CNN would let Bianna Golodryga lead their interviews about Russia. She seems way more knowledgeable than the other "experts" and would be much better at getting real, insightful comments from them. What I heard here was mostly a lot of verbal nothing about stuff that happened but without any connection to what it means to the current state of affairs.Whether Putin perceived by the West as strong or weak is totally irrelevant to internal Russian politics.
Well, the General was informative, not the two ladies, who largely said nothing. The problem is the pressure on the news media to make some analysis, when there simply is not enough info to make decent analysis in such cases.
@2Uahoj Propaganda corporate media !!! That's the main reason why CNN is going Bankrupt. The Empire thinks they can tell the American people anything . Well it's the 21st century, the era of knowledge,information, and technology, and people are not stupid.

@@crystalclearforukraine give Trump the same amount of time in power as Putin has had, and it would inevitably unfold the same way. He simply ran out of time.
@@MateDrinker33 Trump admires putin for his power and if elected would find reasons to increase his own power. That would become worse as time went on until he felt he had an excuse to operate in a similar manner. The man has no moral compass.
He’s pissed and can’t really do anything about it is what I get from it. Prigozhin has fans a lot of them a whole city cheered him leaving that’s tough for Putin.
I would say he's biding his time and trying to control the situation. Wagner are finished. The only use for them now is to send them on a suicide mission to take Kiev. That will be their last act, or none at all.
I don't think this was ever a real "coup". It was Prigozin fighting back against demands from the military that Wagner troops should come under regular military control. He has achieved that but what that says about the power Putin actually wealds should worry him - quite a lot.
I don't disagree with you - but I'm not convinced about ANY of the scenarios about what actually motivated any of the parties involved or how it was resolved. I'm suspicious that somehow this is all a set-up of grand nature - Russians acting out a grand opera on the worldwide stage for all to see - but to what purpose and what end remains to be seen.
We don't know a lot. Perhaps Putin planned the Wagner invasion and all of this is a ruse for some reason. It's hard to imagine Prigozhin being so stupid as to think Putin would just let him live in exile peacefully now. I mean c'mon.
Prigozhin must know he has a death sentence pending - a matter of time and timing. Belarus seems a good option for Prigozhin and a odd choice for Poo Tin. In Belarus Prigozhin could find support from Lukashenko and protect him from his own people and from Poo Tin as well. Lukashenko might be hoping to manipulate the situation to get both a 'loyal to him under threat of been handed over to Poo Tin and the Russian army at a time of their choosing', battle hardened, proven, experienced, bunch of desperate criminal thugs. AND get control of the Wagner PMC and all its wealth and revenue producing African mercenary assets. The situation is so strange, so fluid, I would expect just about anything from all of these 'playing for keeps' power tripping Power Merchants. Live by the sword, die by the sword. May you live in interesting times.
Winnie the Pooh Tin has clearly organised all this from HMS Jail, along with his group of brigands who enjoy his cooking. I have always been suspicious of cooks, temperamental tyrants who too easily cause rebellious behaviour; hence the saying, too many cooks spoil the broth. If I was a military commander, I would have all cooks under key and chain.
In fact, this is what Lukashenko says---I also understood that a cruel decision was made (it sounded like a subtext in Putin's speech) - to get wet. I suggested to Putin to take his time. Come on, I say, let's talk to Prigozhin, to his commanders. To which he told me: "Listen, Sasha, it's useless. He doesn't even pick up the phone, he doesn't want to talk to anyone," Lukashenko said about the development of events on June 24.The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, spoke about the negotiations with PMC founder Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin.--"I say: "Zhenya, no one will give you either Shoigu or Gerasimov, especially in this situation. You know Putin as well as I do. Second, not only will he not meet you - he won't talk on the phone because of this situation.But we want justice! They want to strangle us! We're going to Moscow!" I say, "Halfway you'll be squashed like a bug. Despite the fact that the troops (Putin told me about this for a long time) are scattered on the relevant front. Think, I say. "No" is such euphoria, the Belarusian leader continued.I convinced him for a long time. And finally I said, “You know, you can do whatever you want. But don't be offended. The brigade is ready for transfer to Moscow. And as in 1941, read books, educated, intelligent person, we will defend Moscow. Because this situation is not only in Russia. This is not only because this is our homeland," concluded the President of Belarus.........In reality PMC Wagner is really a pretty good combat unit, consisting of 5000 former Russian commandos and 20 thousand soldiers, they have their undoubted merits on the front---in one year they managed to capture over 20 thousand square km, which includes Popasnia (one of the most the fortified areas in Donbas).Soledar, Bakhmut and the adjacent villages in their direction,but in reality, they have no chance against the Russian assault groups, just an example--in one month they captured a city of half a million people, like Mariupol, and liquidated the color and elite of the Ukrainian army defending the city.... this is exactly what Prigozhin understood.Against NATO units, it would be much easier for Prigozhin, bearing in mind that 7 American and 2 British brigades unsuccessfully stormed Fallujah for a year, protected by 3000 goatherds armed with bows and arrows.

He fled from Moscow and is in an undisclosed location for this broadcast. Russian military forces let Wagner roll in cheering them on, without firing a shot. Vlad Putin is meanwhile living in fear, changing where he sleeps every night like Yassar Arafat's constant effort to avoid being killed by his own people. Prigozhin may be done, but he exposed that the entire Russian citizenry and military and police are one bad day away from tearing both the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin apart piece by piece.
My sense is that most people remaining in Russia simply don't care. In fact they are well-trained in not caring. Having an opinion is a liability in Russia. And this is now their habit. Let the leaders sort it out. That's their job. In the meantime, Russians are tough. Bread lines--no problems. Petrol coupons--no problem. Just deal with it... again. Oh, and don't forget to blame the West.
In his last moments, Prigozhin may ask himself whether in hindsight, he should've marched to Moscow, and ACTUALLY staged a coup, because if he had failed, his fate couldn't be worse than the one about to befall him, and if he'd succeeded, he would've avoided it altogether.
As I kept going through the war games in my head, capturing moscow means little if the government can still function in say St. Petersburg. This happened to napoleon. Of course things are much different today, but taking moscow would have meant full scale war, it wasn’t like Wagner was gonna not only beat the military but set up an entire government while the still acting president is alive, whom happens to be both one of the wealthiest and ruthless man in the world.
For sure the situation between Putin and Prigozhin isn't over, that's extremely obvious. But don't underestimate the reverse either. Yes, in not striking Putin it's true that Prigozhin missed his best opportunity to strike Putin, but given that Putin fled the most likely outcome would've been a longterm struggle for power with a possible stalemate developing due to neither side being able to easily reach the other. However, the fact that he was able to march straight on Moscow implies that the Russian hierarchy has already abandoned Putin. And Putin cannot trust anyone under him anymore. And it won't take Wagner to show that there is a very thin line of "peace" preventing official Russian elements from infighting. Putin showed his weakness, the necessity for someone like Lukashenka to intervene and that the Russian army is unwilling to follow all orders of Putin (and also that Russia itself cannot deal with threats on the inside, at all). And the best thing? Putin being unwilling to solve it! He just ignores the problems and hopes that if he ignores it they will go away! But in reality, the stage is set for a massive Russian disaster.
I am a German "Russia expert" - my neighour here in Dresden keeps me updated every day about the soon to expect Wunder-Waffen of the Kremlin. He was officer in the Russian army in the 80s and had his office next to Putin on the same floor in the Russian baracks in Dresden (no joke - this is true). I am not surprised of the poor quality of the Russian army - if they have such officers...OMG... my cat has a larger brain than he has.
Putin with the KGB was assigned to East Germany, which was considered the worst possible assignment for a KGB officer. Only the bottom of the barrel agents were assigned to East Germany. So much for Putin the Master Spy!
Seriously, If anyone thinks with Putin's history and background that he would let the Wagner commander live and operate freely after what that commander has done, is mistaken. I would not under any circumstances allow him to live.
If Putin values loyalty so much, perhaps Sec. of State could send Rand Paul and Josh Hawley to Moscow and Minsk to negotiate a truce - they could draw it out and give Ukraine a headstart in their offensive.
