#NBCNews #Russia #Putin
Prigozhin will be liquidated soon. There’s not enough room in the world for Putin and Prigozhin to coexist now. One will have to go or the other. Putin won’t be around much longer either.
Is Kyiv alright? I saw reports on twitter that russia troops were getting near Kyiv. Not sure how true those repirts actually are.
Ukraine finish this war with Russia and crush them so they can never recover and make Putin pay for his crimes.
Slovakian Dr. Phil just woos him that quick? Somethings up. All those loyal fighters are not going to asimilate into the regular army.
Dude just moved 25000 Wagner troops to Belarus. 100 kilometers north of Kiev lol Hey look it’s a mutiny! Hey look no it’s not
Russian people are mushrooms atm. Australian slang meaning, kept in the dark and fed bs.
For putin, there is no going back. Going to be interesting in the next few months.
That’s. Corruption for ya
Unbelievable.
Putin deserves that and more….
Russia treats its own soldiers like disposable utensils. Who wants to fight for a country like that?
It us just a facade to hide their real goal, he is exiled to belarus and very conveniently the russians just happened to have placed their tactical nuclear weapons there. This was just a small trailer of a much bigger game played by Putin.
What a joke, biggest challenge that lasted what 4 hours?, OOOOOOO!!,
3 wrongs dont make a right
Exile for now until putin send assassins or hit on him
The Russian women need real men. I will make them play with my fat bird everyday.
The way that Putin deals with people who go against him. I think the former Wagner boss’s days are numbered.
Putin the Docile Dictator
Russians, ” If you’re a sociopathic gangster and obviously more corrupt than Putin, then this makes you the man we’re looking for to lead us into Russia’s complete destruction. That is until the next monster comes along who can do it even faster.”
Not much of a rebellion and extremely difficult to find a side to cheer for too.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Questions remain in Hunter’s shakedown text with old Joe sitting right next to him.
Spend more time reporting on that!
this was a false flag operation, prigo will pop up as the new defense minister and run the war putin and the orcish public want. martial law is on and putin has the whole world thinking he’s weak when he’s just getting ready to total mobilize and launch a front in belarus. it will also force the feckless and cowardless west to start to back off support for ukraine because they are afraid of russia destabilizing. ukraine will be done before the west decides whether they need to change the promised f16s over to biofuel because of climate change
At first I thought it was a wknd in Chicago.
Prigozhin will probably teach Belarusian soldiers tactics and how to fight.
Nah. They’re gonna Trotsky him
Looks like I was right lol.
Don’t worry Vald Xi will let you go live with him
Prig thought the army would join him & when they didn’t, it was over. He will be six feet under within 2 months. Good news for Ukraine.
You, western people, don’t realise that there would be a huge bloodshed of civilians if Russian Armed Forces suppress the rebellion.
prigozhin will be the nxt russian leader. nostradamus predicted it. a dwarf bald in the land of snow will be paraded naked by his friend in a an open field. it’s putin in the red square.
Belarus now has a new general to command their nukes…Putin should retire. The whole world is tired of his murderous lies.
I think this is all fake to have an excuse to use nukes. Putin moved them to Belarus this last week and now Wagner group is there I can almost guarantee that is what’s gonna happen and he will blame the Wagner group.
Don’t worry about Russia. Learn to clean America’s own house first and foremost.
In Russia, a rebel wanna be traitor gets exiled to Belarus the very next day. In America, a traitor after an attempted violent coup to overthrow the US government on J6, 2021 is still free and gets to run as a US PRESIDENTIAL candidate for the GOP party. This fact alone reveals how weak, very slow and pathetic America justice really is – we got all highly educated people in government that don’t have any balls and can’t even fix this ongoing problem for over 2 years now.
Remember all those riots and autonomous zones they set up the summer before that? Oh wait. Wrong terrorist groups.
Trump never attempted a coup. Some of his supporters, whom are now serving prison time did so.
The U.S. in fact is stricter than Russia as the attackers of the U.S. capital actually are in jail.
Russia lets a man that literally lead a war convoy toward Moscow free.
America laughs
America has the same issues. The Maga folks plan to take over the armed forces like Jan 6th but even worse if Trump goes to jail and or doesn’t get elected. They said most of the armed forces are racist Maga people.
Like when antifa and blm tried to set up autonomous zones in several US cities. When they weren’t trying to burn them down that is.
robert wagner approved???🥴🫠
you really believed of “unpunished”? 😂😂😂
Russia will lose this war
Yevgeny Prigozhin will be the next president of Belarus
U.S. intelligence got played big time. They paid Wagner to revolt and Wagner sold them out. If it was real, the Wagner leader would be dead. He was loyal to Putin and now can retire with his billion dollars as a reward. This was huge fail for the CIA.
Russia is losing the war
Well we know where that $6billion Biden office lost went😊
Bet they wish they could get a refund!
I’m more interested in Joe Biden bribery scandal and corruption
Got any evidence? Don’t think so
Wishful thinking
Prigozhin, Dead man walking
*of course “questions remained in russia” because we all got trolled, again.*
Duck and run? We had drills to hide under our desks.
Showed how ignorant the government is with its children not to mention the staff.
It’s no different now.
in putin’s mind wagner is now a cancer that needs to be neutralized.
Heck, that’s Russia just being Russia.
Putins war cry for a rally of support by citizens
Looks like the chief made his last 🍕 delivery for Putin ☺
Ok so Wagner group went at Russia is that right
russians start a war then scream and about drop the phone lol
No lajf no self
Does nobody get this? They’re out, back, up, then west to Belarus. This was all planned just to get them out and reposition them. Question is why? If nobody is coming from Russia to replace them… then they’re out of the way for small nukes. Does nobody get this?
If I was a script writer, Prigozhin to Putin, I have conquered the Donbas I want something bigger like my own country. Putin ,well I have just such a thing waiting for a new President, you will have to worm your way into the minds and hearts of the people as a hero in your own right I can do that I have a plan. Integrate your army into the Belarus Army, win them across and take over, you will also have the big BOMB. Once done push the fat one out and we are on the home run, Russia forever my friend ..mmm Moldova..
There country has no president just like America who’s next ?
They act like this doesn’t happen in america. Citizens just aren’t allowed to have tanks and other things, otherwise people like trump supporters would be doing the same thing already
Rebellion is your duty when dealing with dictators.
Unpunished? He’ll probably get the nukes in Belarus 😮
Wish he’d kept going. And gotta love the lack of self awareness Russians who were occupied for one day while they’ve been occupying parts of Ukraine for a decade.
Oke… not oke …oke… not oke…. oke not oke…win..lose..win..lose ,win…🥺😇😔☺..wich..is wich..???????
Let’s be real, Afghani Pringle’s gonna get Trotsky’d
now that is critical thinking 👑
Russians will not win 😂
WHICH REBELLION? AMMUNITION WHERE TO FIGHT?, DOES PRIGOZHIN HAVE THE AMMUNITION FACTORY? HE WOULD BE LOST
Remember God loves you♥️❤!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏🙏..
He is coming back soon😊🥳………
Given the sorry state of the russian military, how many russian nukes do you think would actually work still?
it’s like a retirement celebration party for the Wagner Group back on Russian soil vying for attention, appreciation, and validation from the people, perhaps yet unknowing that their leader will receive a much diff. kind of retirement party when arriving in Belarus. Safe to say that while Putin in his luxurious bunker will have a full live face time by video during that whole interaction/retirement party for the guest of ‘honor’. 🤐😈😵🤕💀💀
A country run by gangsters
FRAUDS
NBC are liers..
PUTIN RESIGN NOW!
I would ask humans to look back at the Soviet Republics response to overwhelming power in WW2. The tragedy that seemed to cause the most stalwart Russian army to fight to the end is buried in their DNA. They were never brought to defeat when everything they had was decimated! They were the first to enter and cross into Germany. Stalin put all the blame for any of their weaknesses on the supposed purposeful reluctance of the Allies to send them support…like the complaints we hear from Ukraine and their leadership. What is true? The will to succeed and staunch loyalty of the decimated troops!
The interesting point is that Ukrainians and Russians have the same historical “DNA”: fighting to the end! The truest evil today is Russians having to turn on their fellow Slavs! Both sides are very highly motivated with regard to loyalty to their leadership!
Turning Slavs against themselves is a very cruel element in all of this. Every Slav has to suspend their disbelief to defend their territory whether they are Ukrainian or Russian! It seems to be an aspect of this conflict that has some differential. Which side has the clearest understanding of what is at stake?
Putin needs to be taken out of office, not only for the country of Russia but for the rest of world 🌎
“A dude hiding in the woods orchestrated a coup to overthrow Erdogan” – same news media 🤡👏
Good that will help the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.!👌😎
I think that there are elites in Russia positioning Prigozhin as the next putin. The deal was brokered between them and Belarus and Prigozhin. Not Putin.
The people in Russia like Prigozhin and are starting to not like Putin. This is their way of reducing the pressure accumulating in the political climate.
Give it like 6 months and he will be back and more popular than ever.
Fake News Media and CIA tried another coup and failed..
Lol. This really has you Russian trolls very triggered, confused, and upset.😂🤣😂
@Thomas ya laughing at your pathetic attempt right after your failed counteroffensive is triggering
keep trying shillbot
If wanger stabbed putin in the back… what is putin lying to the world sending hundreds of thousands to die with little to no support no purpose no or direction. For the sake of his own ego.. i find that situation truly unforgivable .. compared to leader of armed forces wanting revenge for the needless killing of so many of his men … for putins fame …. putin betrayl of his own people is whats truly unforgivable
Wagner is the reason why russia is losing in ukraine
dude usa is just evil
You have all been deceived by Putin! This is not a battle to defend the country at all! It’s an invasion war! Look at your feet! Is this your hometown?!
State run media may not be showing people taking selfies with these guys but the mainstream media also isnt showing coverage of the locals who were angry there city was overrun but this mercenary group. In other words as usual the media as a whole is 100% always biased.
Lol didnt age well, western Media is a joke 🤣🤣
Seems like everyone in the world has the same dumb mindset. lol.
IT’S A TRAP!
Good try by US to take down Russia from inside… Sorry this is Russia not Libya
1 thing is clear : It’s a clash between 2 megalomaniac psychos. And, the weaker may well have already been taken care of in a very RuZzian way.
Wagner is a good man….as far as opponents go
Teapublicans don’t like people who fail INSURRECTIONS.
