#NBCNews #Russia #Putin
Blinken looks very very worried……..something has back fired in a serious way ,lets hope it is nuclear war,nato was repeatedly warned and kept pushing their boundaries breaking thrir own rules adjusting the goal post,upping the supplies after refusing many saying it wiuld cause ww3
And all these statements were made on national tv and they openly changed their restriction
Stupid leaders
The Fake News Media copium never gets old.
Another complete failure by soros, puppetlenskyy, and nuland to destabilize Russia.
God Bless Putin and his troops.
Prigozhin demonstrated that it’s possible to capture a Russian city of a million people with impunity, put demands to the country’s leadership, refuse to obey its orders and then mount a military march on Moscow while killing Russian soldiers on the way. Russia has moved a step closer to its final and irreparable collapse.
sounds like some hollywood nonsense…
@Operator 9 eh?
he does realize that the reason prigohzn was stepping out was because russia hasnt been aggressive enough right?
Let’s compare Russia’s aggressiveness with the US’ for example. Russia invaded just to a one neighboring country, but the US did to more than dozen ones located thousands miles away. Do you feel the difference? However Russia is extremely “evil”, but the US “good”. This is a great achievement of mainstream Media.
I have zero doubt that US and other intelligence agencies know exactly where Prigozhin is and what is happening to him.
Yeah, as they knew Irak had weapons of mass destruction and where exactly were located.
@Jac Ram That was then, this is now. The US isn’t 100% correct about everything, same as any other intelligence agencies.
Please they try to potray as if they know everything or perhaps make everyone think that they know but naa, theyknow nothing
You should have asked if this was possibly staged,
Come on, Start WWIII !! ..Are you Chicken out, Biden !!!
These politicians are just talking too much and don’t go to the real thing: WWIII !!…Let’s start the Party 🥳 🎉!!!
It’s all staged. Remember Russia just moved nuclear missile at Belarus, so this mutiny allowed Putin to move Wagner into Belarus which is so much closer to Kyiv and much easier to attack from the south. It’s a chess move, sacrifice some pawns to capture the king.
Mr blinkin should be president…id sleep better
Biden and trump….not so much😂
You cannot put words in this manz mouth…hes the 1
Blinkin💯
Dictator….we all no its true but….after all his good work in china…biden is loosing it,! This guy would clear all that up in a minute
well said, but i would add that every country has an obligation and responsibility to ensure stability between nations, even ukraine and russia.
What are you talking about? Ukraine is the actor who must strictly follow the role written for him. This understate is on full support of the west, very much like a patient in coma on life support in the intensive care. Remove the tubes and “the patient” immediately dies. it also can be compared to a weapon that the US use against Russia.
In this particular case the US is an aggressor and Russia is in defend.
@Alex Humble yeah yeah yeah… Sure. And “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” We know that kind of babble.
@Alex Humble sometimes one wishes that stupidity has been forbidden… But it’s not, and probably it’s better so.
Ukraine is an acting, independent subject. So is the US, so is Russia. Russia has chosen to attack its neighbour, the neighbour has chosen to defend itself, and the US, among other countries, has chosen to help Ukraine. See, there is nothing glorious, nothing praiseworthy in a stronger country attacking weaker without a reason. It should be condemned.
Now, after Russia attacked Ukraine, in a way I would not mind the world gagging on Russia and defeating it. But there are many buts… It seems, however, that Russia might be in the process of defeating itself… And Ukraine… seems like it’s a weak guy with many friends… So… Hopefully they will help it to win over the bully. And the bully will come out of it with many bumps. Figuratively speaking.
What would the US say if Russia built a military base in Tijuana and not only say, but also do something about it? However Russia’s surrounded with NATO’s bases all around and even Ukraine was a candidate for NATO. After September 11 terrorist attack when Twin Tower skyscrapers were destroyed with 3000 Americans in them the US proclaimed the crusade against those who did it and their accomplices. However according to sent. Robert Kennedy 14000 Russian civilians were killed by Ukraine’s artillery in Donbass since 2014. Who could stop that slaughter and how long should’ve Russia tolerated that? Russia raised that case at UN several times, but the US blocked all attempts and Media has silenced it as well as many similar issues. How many Americans have to be killed in Mexico so that the US would invade that country? Why then does someone say, “Russia’s invasion to Ukraine was unprovoked”? Putin in detail explained all this, but his speech was deleted and all such information blocked everywhere. Instead the idea that Russia is evil and Putin invaded Ukraine just because he wanted has been spread all around.
He’s a weird looking guy
You all don’t understand Russian deceitfullnes,,this has been staged to out poo tins enemy’s, the torture cells in the Kremlin will be howling tonight,,
Having to call on Chechen fighters to protect Moscow is pitiful. Launch missiles you cowards.
Meant that was all that was needed to end the mutiny.
Russia never tried to take Kiev. It is not part of the Donbass, Zaporizhzhia or Kherson. Russia was only at Kiev to bring the government to the negotiation table. That worked and an agreement was reached in March/April 2022. That would have been an end to the conflict. Boris Johnson went to Kiev and told the government not to sign the agreement. That is why there is a conflict now.
B.S.
@Indie Anna To those who fell for the WMD claims
The Wagner Group is a threat to the US AFRICOM occupation of Africa.
Now it’s a good to attack or remove Putin
? Is Lukoshenko a cover for Alexey Dyumin (of Tula province, Russia) negotiating the U-turn in Prigozhin’s “March of Justice “. ?
Blinken should do some introspection and check how many times the Yanks have made fools of themselves and become the laughing stock of the world .His country is the instigator of the slaughter of Ukraine which could have ended long time ago.
i love how yes or no are foreign words to the secretary
The answers are pretty straight forward and clear. Whether or not you’re able to keep up is on you.
@JamesT ok secretary lol
Outstanding SecState!
WHEN JAKE SULLIVAN ( THE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR)APPEARED ABOUT A YEAR AGO A REPORTER ASKED “WHAT IF CHINA TRIES TO GET A MILITARY BASE IN LATIN AMERICA OR CUBA?” AND HE RESPONDED ” IF THEY ATTEMPT TO DO THAT WE WILL HANDLE THAT DECISIVELY”. NOW ANTHONY BLINKIN IS DUCKING,AND DODGING THE QUESTION, AND NOW THEIR POSTURE IS A LOT WEAKER ON THE ISSUE. IM GETTING SICK OF WATCHING US BE RUN OVER BY CHINA!
You guys are dumb… this was not a coup against putin, its all a big theater show. This was just a way to move 25000 mercenaries into belarus to join with the russian army there. Its gross how he can sit there and say that with a straight face
ITS NICE TO SEE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT DELUSIONAL,AND CAN DISCERN, PROPERLY ANALYZE,AND THINK FOR THEMSELVES…… BUT UNFORTUNATELY FROM WHAT IVE READ FROM OTHER COMMENTORS ON HERE, THAT SAY PUTIN IS GOING TO BE COMING OUT STRONGER FROM THIS EVENT, SHOW THAT MANY PEOPLE CANNOT DO THAT…….TO THEM I SAY, IM TERRIBLY SORRY FOR YOUR UNFORTUNATE SITUATION. LIFE WILL BE HARD FOR YOU, BUT LIKE THE SONG GOES ” IF YOUR GONNA BE DUMB, YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH”.
If Russia is infighting… what’s going to stop this tyrant from pushing “that” button?
The u.s has something to do with the mutiny😂😂
When you are not correctly knowing therefore assessing the present situation, then you became to be a danger to a NATO national security…Wagner is mercenary and just like any workers that you hire, occupationally are blabbing or wanting attention and so they may get something …..a normal routine…
Putin never said they wanted to take Keiv. Blinken keeps lying. And Ukraine is losing.
Blinken keeps lying.
NATO is weaker. Russia alliances are stronger.
Blinken keeps lying. The Ukraine counter offensive is failing.
USA staged coup in Ukraine in 2014.
Blinken just gave up Tawain.
Us is going to say to china or cuba what to do I don’t think so
Is Putin a chess player ?
Knights, Queens, Bishops, They are all just chess pieces.
Be careful Ukraine, keep your eyes on the Belarus Dnipro and Pripyat Rivers, be very careful.
This is a Trojan Horse moving the Wagner group into a better position to strike Kiev .
This guy looks like a pale zombie
Follow this guy to a ditch
We’re in population decline pretty soon these guys won’t matter
Who would have thought that we would have seen the entire western media cheering for Prigozhin? But that is exactly what happened. It’s pathetic. Shame on you all.
Is everyone in this catastrophic and traitorous Biden regime a delusional pathological lying sociopath?
Blinken stop lying, the reason why Russia left kyve is because Ukrainians signed a peace treaty in Turkey which was shown by Putin the great during African peace delegation. Your time to control the world is done,. Russia will win and this will destroy the American stand in the world and you stop to export the dollar to the world, especially when Brics come up with the reserve currency
Blinken has to know “the Russia mutiny” was all Russian theater; a tactical victory for Putin. Ergo, Wagner now has access to tactical nukes via Putin’s Lukashenko, and Russia can and will say we are no longer responsible for Wagner’s actions. If Blinken is the best we got, we are doomed!
Lying corrupt Blinken lies to Americans every time his lips move. Biden provoked this war and lost the coup too
Don’t worry Satan 2 is coming there will not be any more propaganda.
This American Regine so truly corrupt it preamps even watching this kind of stuff. I get it they r going to give the Biden a pass so they can sustain these organizations like the doj FBI and but what they fail to appreciate is that at the end of the day public trust lost is not easily won back. History is replete with exact examples.
This turkey should join the five cackling chooks on The View.
😂🤣😂 good lord, the UNIPARTY propaganda is ever more risible.
Blinken’s father in law was Robert Maxwell’s lawyer. Hold that thought.
I forsaw the drama. This could be pressure dress up for army commanders to act. Wagner boss is a catalyst. Ukraine if not the author should see the great force on them. The army bosses May question Putin for implosion. Putin has put up his Drama we must watch him.
I think Putin solved his insurrection faster than the U.S solved January 6th.
NBC counterfeit news,we are the mouthpiece for government propaganda.
If I were Prigozhin I’d sleep with one eye open.
For sure! People hunting him like an Easter egg.
an old legend says that poutine will end up wandering in the tundra at the wheel of a Lada believing he is riding a bear.
Putin and Russia are bad guys because they invaded Ukraine. What is America that kills leaders and invades many countries on lies. Hate this American bull sheat.
Putin:”Stinken Blinken” is a failure from the start.
Yes, Russia 🇷🇺 is always ‘failing’ forward.
Blinken propaganda is nauseating.
Western Media are so dumb. Wagner is not a ‘mercenary’ group. If Wagner is a mercenary group, then Blackwater is also a mercenary group- using your myopic logic!
Wagner is a Private Military Company (PMC) and is more or so the equivalent of the French Foreign Legion.
Do Your Homework!
How???????
SWITCHING FROM UNIVERSE CRIMES IN AMERICA….PAYMENTS OUT TO USA UNIVERSE DEEDS TO KIAH CHILDREN… UNRESOLVED SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE DEEDS
“tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies…”
Looking forward to Ukrainian victory and the Russian Revolution part 2: De-nazification and de-militarization. 🤣 Would be great if pro-Western Russians rose up and toppled Putin; then purge Putin’s ruscists, sending them to various gulags. Best way for the Russian people to recover from Putin’s warmongering disasters.
always good at providing the latest news and issues going on in the world watched the full video
fell for the ruse. rip west average IQ
I have never seen any of his clients complain of lost..! think she is just too perfect
l am from Denver Colorado USA I
connected with him and she has helped me a lot, she makes so much profit for me .she made success earlier than we thought.
Believe me she’s the best when it comes to Cryptocurrency trading, your profit is assured💯
@Williams Meet Really,I think I will start with 3k USSD
So – it’s just a coincidence that Wagner are exiled to Belarus at the same time Putin gives Belarus tactical nuclear weapons ??
Dangerous combination. Wagner are play acting. There will be a surprise Wagner attack on Kiev with weapons “ stolen” from Belarus ( by accident of course) . Ukraine ought to prepare for this attack – it’s coming !!
From the ‘Differences Between the USA and Russia’ Series:
USA – Stockton Rush kills 4, taking them on a crazy tour of the Titanic.
Russia – Putin kills 400,000, taking them on a crazy tour of WW2.
This is a ploy by Putin and prigozhin they will attack Ukraine from Belarus watch out Ukraine there both lying it’s a ploy .
Hey NBC how about you start reporting on things in your own country and on your own president. Stop letting the Biden mafia control you. This is America so quit being cowards
Blinken does not know what the game is. They build on lies.
Sorry Blinken the west is falling apart and this plot never work out 😂😂😂😂😂
Putins failures are just the beginning of your heartaches bliken.
It seems USA & NATO have bribe Wagner Group to take revenge with Putin, as Russia crushed USA & NATO.
America can’t really speak on Russia’s so called insurrection when America wasn’t prepared for their insurrection on January 6.
Russia handled it without bloodshed and death, whereas America had both bloodshed and deaths.
Blinker is a weakling.
Blinken is full of it as usual __ The CIA released 6.2 billions to bribe Prigozhin and some of his men (100k ea.) to organize a protest against Shoigu, minister of defence. __ Also organize a false flag with the Ukrainian army for an attack on the Zaporijja nuke plant to blame Russia for it.
Focus on your people and not other countries where you are not welcome
How’s Puppet Zelenskyy’s big counteroffensive going?
😂🤣🤡xxz
Fake News Media telling their libsheeple that other people are all about misinformation and “theater”
lol surreal
Crisis or no crisis, there’s always a very real threat to go to authoritarian regimes like China, Iran, North Korea, Russia etc. Those who choose to go there for tourism, business or family visits should be fully aware of the risk they take. In other words, take your own risk, you are solely responsible for your own safety in those countries.
Awww. Did he really say that this is a country where missinfornstion is a feature, not a bug? Which country did he refer to? Not US! He wouldn’t dare!!!
Biden is a Chicken 🐔!!
Blinken talks too much…Looks like a Chicken 🐔 ,too!!!
How is possible US have only pshico in the power?
Well this is how Putin and Prighozin make a lot of money betrayed US pshico. 6 billion dollar “disappeared” and US “say they don’t know where yhe money is it” 😂😂. US need to ask Prighozin and Putin where the money disappeared 😂😂.
https://youtu.be/ZOzHCa-_PMs National anthem of Ukraine
Blinken, stop this propaganda.
Let him tell more about Ukraine’s success after all the money we funnelled there. Don’t tell me how Russia is about to collapse, you’ve neen feeding us the same story from day one
Wagner abruptly turned around as he was told if he did not they would go after his commander’s families
BLINKY BLINKEN IS TALKING crap full of sh….itttttt
All setting up for a strike on Kiev from Belarus . Why would Pregozhin be so critical of Putin to his enemy ? The aborted coup was staged with loses to make it more convincing. He is now in Because with Putins nukes and his men will join him. Why would he go into exile in a country in bed with Russia?
SLAVA UKRAINE.
Russia will outlast the west.
Nobody can or should believe what Blinken says nor what this bold sewer rat from nbc
Blinken wants to use the nuclear weapons and burn down America, and some calls him a nice man, – wait until he dances on your grave like he does now with Ukraine.
Your Blinking me>>>speaking with two tougnes is the work of the devil👹 boy Blinken🙄
Putin may have been in on the entire affair, if there ever even was a mutiny, and he might be creating an “off ramp”, yet may still be coordinating w/Prigozhin re future war plans involving Wagner, Prigozhin, and Belarus.
After all, “rebels” make great “scape goats”, esp if Putin can confound NATO defense against any nuclear “incidents” or maybe orchestrate surprise attacks on Kiev from Belarus.
Another corrupt bureaucrat, representing the arms industry, making billions of these soldiers killing each other. How disgusting.
