#NBCNews #Russia #Putin
It will not be effective. The mercenaries have a loyalty to Wagner. No love loss, and they won’t respect Putin. Hopefully, I’ll wake up tomorrow, and the Nuke button hasn’t been hit. Smh.
Wagner laying down weapon and get paid peanuts with no equipment is crazy …..if am wagner i would hold my weapon even tighter
this could ..’could’.. have been a sort of replica of julius caesar crossing the rubicon.. but.. prigozhin blinked first..
Nothing looks better for a country than having a warlord with 50,000 men and a thousand trucks running around your country. Even in belarus it’s a threat bigger than NATO ever was. This is a civil war for Russia. The hammer is about to fall on their army as well. They are almost all out of position already. .
ruzzia doesnt pay
Like the media is gonna tell us what really happened, if they knew.
And just what is a “media”?! Describe😅😅
I hope egotistical zalensky loses all his limbs like his troops are. Time to end zalensky and his vogue wife. He doesn’t talk peace because corrupt Ukraine wants the American taxpayer funded gravy train to continue . Zalensky is the greatest enemy to Ukrainian troops
pregosion pays
The fact Putin’s still breathing just shows that no body around hims got nothing under the hood
He could hire a million fighters from Africa for $
The truth is wagner troops not happy wanted to topple putin . Reports in Crimea that wagner troops feeding Ukraine intelligence.
This coup attempt was the last hope of Biden administration. Zelenskyy regime is on its last legs and it will unlikely survive till November 2024. This fact is driving handlers of semiconscious Biden nuts. They can do all sorts of crazy things in this desperate state including with nuclear plants, dirty bombs or even tactical nukes. WSJ is describing Zelenskyy mobilization in this way: “Mr. Zelensky in January introduced even harsher punishment for desertion and disobedience . A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives.” Zelenskyy is officially catching and forced conscripting even disabled (not only army recruiters, but also police, border police, secret police and even municipal authorities are officially hunting for hapless cannon fodder leaving desperate people no chance to escape Zelenskyy goons). When such people are in the trenches let alone forced to go on the offensive, it’s a recipe for disaster. They simply refuse to fight and surrender at the first opportunity.
We all know this msm is government propaganda that’s why no one watches msm but independent truth telling bloggers
Putin is not a goof leader
don’t forget Russia has never won a war that it started. NATO will prevail, although the whole world is on life support. ( Nearly dying everyday and living on borrowed time. Grace and mercy has all of us still here.
Even americans freedoms are under threat. Patriot act undermines us. Seems like everyone forgot about this
Russia is feudal country, every region pays tribute to Moscow. Now, what do they receive in return? Almost nothing! Take Chukotka for example, where every element of Mendeleev table underfoot, this region stuck in poverty! Now when Moscow is weak, that’s more and more under question why things should continue the way it was.
Russia must stop this war go home whe want Freedom and PEACE.
No is a business Agency if you want to join war you need contract like he said! But it depended on the mercenary group if they will sign the contract! Like said business is a business! If you can not pay them they will not doing it!
It has been cooking for some time. Starting with shortage of supplies.
Putin was slow to react!
GoPro been fishing,but Putin is still the bass pro chap.
The punic war= Hannibal…Putin war=prigozhin.
Got a feeling someone will soon be mysteriously extint .
Who’s that? Fake Putin
Putin to mercenaries – “I’ll give you new cap guns and coffee money. Think of the glory.” Mercenaries – “Whaaaat?”
If you are business owner someone want to rent and he can not pay what will you do? And your things are using it and you are owner are the one paying it would you do it for free? Or you will go and never do it! Because if business will go down is hard and no one will help you for financial! Like those who died the agency will pay for it that’s very big for the agency to handle! Surely the family of the soldier need benefits who will pay the agency that’s the problem only the agency will provide and worst they did not fully paid the agency! Business will go down
Pres. Putin isn’t begging anyone😝 0:28
begging now 😂
😂😂😂 american propaganda😅😅😅
Putin always wins….
Putin is an-ti government
Government kinda ain’t doing their job
5:11 Thank you for your clarification here sir. You are correct 💯
without wagner does this mean the war is basically over as putin lost half of his forces. wagner is the closest thing he had to a competent soldiers
Wagner has roughly 25,000 and the Russian army has over 280,000
So a major dent but won’t stop the war unfortunately
A 1 million strong Russian army counting on a bunch of mercenaries who don’t even count as a division? 🤣🤣🤣
“Putin lost half of his forces.”😂😂😂
Russian Mercenaries just spilling the tea..I hope Kadyrov too in the near future
Mercenary: How much you pay??😅😅
Putin mistook Ukraine for Rostov-on-Don.
I don’t believe anything from the MSM. It’s all lies. People really need to do there own research about the war in the Ukraine
Wagner Mercs in Rostov
Happy House tonight😅😅😊
lol title looks like indian tv show
Why isn’t the US and NATO working with the Russian people to get rid of Putin? The Russian people don’t want him.
Putin worst enemy is himself 😂😂😂
Putin is shameless! He is finished!
The Russian military would have annihilated wagner,he turned up to get the peoples support
Putin wont be removed its only nato that want that the russian people appear to be fully behind putin
The media and how zelensky forces the obvious narrative of no peace goes with his same attitude towards russian people and their religion
I suspect Putin is going to crack down on Corporations in Russia that are funding the Wagner Group. Without them, Prigozhin’s rebellion dies on the vine.
Putin is a wuzzy
Both guys are right, this might change the sentiment and the will to fight, leading to a loss of occupied territories.
War criminal Poopkin is wanting his Ocean front property with a view an he killing people for it.
While America is putting every one in bed with them.
Russians TAKE PUTIN OUT NOW!!!!!!!!! Make it slow and painful!!!!! The Kremlin needs to implode after the inhumanity they have demonstrated against the Ukrainians.
Putin from strong leader to pathetic loner
This is gimmick from russia to overlook who will interfere in this situation…
Only a fool would trust putin and his government
US news is all fake. Putin came out the winner. All the Western predictions have been proven false. Russia will be your waterloo you satanists.
Add McCaffrey and you have my favourites 👍🙏
Where is Putin at this hour?
Anyway, Putin is fine.
The population don’t like putin anymore more, that’s the problem in Russia and he has set them back 40 years
Interesting two guys… one is the dude that loses people and blood in the dark/ silence .. right up to nuclear war…, the other is the guy that he hands the situation over to… flying bullets n bombs & all…🌹
The US is incredibly well served
The Russians are allowing Putin to destroy their country as he destroys Ukraine. What stops Putin from leaving Ukraine? Why can’t the Russians hold Putin accountable for his stubborn self-serving actions. Why can’t the Russians ask the question, does Putin have the right to cause so much unnecessary destruction and death? Everyone, knows that invading Ukraine (a sovereign country) was wrong. If Putin is confused about the legitimacy of a sovereign Nation’s right to exist, then, he should reflect upon how he felt as the Wagner Group was approaching Moscow? What a selfish and evil man Putin must be!
God, help all us who are innocent because the guilty do not want your help. .
I doubt anyone from Wagner will want to join the Russian military. They’ve seen firsthand how Russia treats its troops… not surprised no one wants to sign up to be Cannon Fodder.
Russia will win
Why United States News Media Not Talking About War Going on in Sudan 🇸🇩 an Why They Not Helping In Sudan The Wagner Groups Are Behind What’s Happening War in Sudan Wagner is Behind RSF Army Talk About Sudan Not Just Russia
Begging yeah ….they Scared him !!!
Ukraine Special Forces Military Will Be Greater Then Ever After This War They Will Be Very Well Trained an Tougher Like United States 🇺🇸
love Ben Hodges viewpoint……a professional all the way
Trump is undeniably tied to Russian espionage against the USA. The FSB helped Trump get elected with massive hacking, misinformation on social media and advertising. Trump invited the head of the FSB to the Oval Office. Trump dismissed American aids so that he could talk to Putin without supervision. Tramp publicly asked Russia to hack Hillarie’s servers .and within an hour they were.
Putin to Wagner mercenaries : Please don’t go. Russia needs serial rapists, thieves and mass murderers.
Russia is still considered the second strongest military 😂
Do and die. Don’t do and still die. 😐
I can’t believe Putin would beg…. Poor choice in words.
Westerners talking points are really dumb.
You always create news to ridicule leaders, and by doing so, you tell lies. Nobody cares about what you say anymore
Two of the best commentators on Russia and the war.
Putin is NOT a man to be trusted with…He is a WOLF
I think this whole thing is a well rehearsed play by Putin, prigozen and Belarus president. Wagner will regroup in Belarus and along with the 1000’s of Russian soldiers from Belarus are going to attack Kiev.
Fake News Media will say anything.
what’s amazing is there really are people who actually listen to this bs
Beg ! …. Like a dog Putin . Get on all fours and stick your tongue out and wag your tail!!
Ukranians couldn’t get any real results even in those circumstances 😅😅😅😅
putin doesn’t pay his troops or feed them or provide payments to families of wounded men. why would anyone trust him he lies and says there is no record of a soldiers service he is just missing no payments are made to families of dead and wounded men 100,000’s of them he is a con man a liar and a ripoff. who would fight for a country like that . they don’t account for the service of soldiers it’s a total joke.
The Russian who cheer Prigozhin may be organized by CIA, but their number very small. CIA has failed ….
Smart peoples will not trust CNBC news…..Al Jazeera is much better .😂😂😂
Putin’s military is so weak that he has to hire rent a thug. . Lol
Wagner should just go all out and sav it out.eigher way he gone get wack kf he thinks kts gone be peace for him going back to them.putin crazy but im sure wagner be on the wassup then 🤬
The reason this war does not stop is because there are certain leaders from other countries who still support Putin in this conflict. All leaders should unite and put pressure on Putin to stop this cruelty.
Absolutely he’s weakened. On the day all we saw of him were the whites of his heels, and everybody in the Kremlin knows it and is going to be looking over their shoulder from now on. The ghost of Stalin is back. Hopefully the regime will eat itself.
Good for Ukraine!
It’s about time Putin was vaporised. Remember isis ? Can be done easily. 😅
Putin advisors: Tell him suicide is an option.
Mercenaries only have 3 choices, join Russian military, join NATO or go home and do nothing. Their leader is now retired to exile in Belarus and they all depend on Russian government for ammunition.
It’s only a matter of time before Putin stoops to the lowest of lows and drafts Russian children/teens into the army as “child soldiers”. Exactly like the armed militant/insurgency/terrorist groups in the sub-Saharan war-torn African nations of Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau, South Sudan, and Somalia 😑
LETS GO PUTIN. DEFEND MOTHERLAND RUSSIA.
Don’t repeat in history in the wrong way ❤
Ukraine is a route to Russia’s heart
They won’t deter because of bloodshed and damage to important historical areas and strategic building damage. A hit to reputation on Russia’s part as a opposition to the west and to itself. They will accept new direction, a new leader, and businesses returning
President Putin has alienated Russia despite allies if which are not 100% behind failure.
Perplexed as to what happens to Wagner activities in other regions (Africa, Syria) if they are attempting to remove top leadership. State deniability is part of their utility. I also can’t imagine Shoigu having any competence in managing sketchy African operations or Wagner mercenaries signing up for conscript wages.
Isa is more excited than themselves ! Why don’t you take care of your president in USA. Look at Biden and your country . Do you really have time for this ?!
Smart man!
Anyone who still listens to NBC or any Western media for news is too dumb to breath.
I feel like I’m crazy, but this doesn’t look like Putin to me. His nose tip droops downwar, his chin is bigger, his eyes are spaced differently. It keeps bothering me to look at this man and he looks so different than other pictures of Putin.
🤠
