Biden and democrats are the criminals this news station is there propaganda machine .
Wagner PMC put the Russian government on its knees.
By occupying one building for 24hrs? Russia state was on its “knees” In a town 1000km from Moscow? Thats the same distance between London through France, Belgium to Berlin. Is that what you have made to believe?
Bidens weak on xhina
Huh.
😁
This was just a loyalty test to get rid of traitors and recruit loyal officers to Putins inner circle. Putin and Prigozhin planned this out.
This is a lull before an even bigger storm.
The fact that Warner chif withdrew so quickly probably shows that Putin is even stronger today
In your dreams. The fact that there was a deal means Putin is weak.
@BorisKadyrov Good comment Comrade! More Rubles for you!!!
The fact that Putin went from “they are traitors who I will punish severely” to “hey it’s no big deal.” shows Putin is weak.
He can’t even punish mobilizing 25000 troops 100 miles outside of Moscow
The coup in Ukraine to remove Zhelensky is coming soon and that one will be the real deal. Only US money keeps the rebellion from happening already.
The news is 💩
Putin tried to pull a Trump and not pay his contractors. Wagner charged Moscow to get their money. Putin suddenly found the money.
HUH??
Thank you for watching propaganda.
Thank you for writing it, comrade!
It’s a trick! Remember the Alamo.😂
Everyone knows what happens when a Trump/Putin plans go wrong. Executions are next. There is no forgiveness when it comes to Putin or someone who still believes he won the last election. If Trump wins, everyone who voted Democratic will be on a list……
You have to pay your Mercenaries otherwise they come to collect. It’s one thing to work for money it’s another thing to work and have to beg for your wages. Putin had to pay up.
Nothing of what the ambassador said is factual…perhaps he missed how everyone else rallied behind Putin, including Prigozhin, and everything was solved without a drop of blood, something that the NATO/Ukrainian coalition could learn from…too late for them
Night of the Long Knives, in russias history, purge of wagner leaders.
Western media love this more than trumps insurrection
This man has been given 24hr relevancy to come to the air and misrepresent the facts as he has done in decades. Nothing to see here
Are you all blind ? Too smooth. Everything looked choreographed. This was Putin’s play to gain political points at home to make him look stronger than anyone else. Prigozhin has always complained of being short of ammunition, so the only solution was to stage a “coup d’etat’ , roll northwards towards Belarus in the pretence of going to Moscow for a ‘rebellion’. It was a red herring tactic. Prigozhin ,the bald Monster will now go to Belarus to recoup, replenish weapons and ammunition from Belarus’ armed forces and then stage another Attack from Belarus border to the north towards Kyiv. If Ukraine ‘accidentally” shoots artillery towards Belarus, this validates Belarus to fire missiles into Ukraine’s north even possible tactical nuclear missiles, Russian forces focus on South East . The revelation about boxes of money as salary for Wagner’s mecenaries is an emotional balm for the wagner men to think Prigozhin the Bald monster cares about them. Only a fool thinks otherwise. Only a Monster knows his own kind.
Adam Kinzinger and Jamie raskin still think January 6 was more of an armed insurrection
Wagner boss did deception! He was led into country as usual then turned rogue! Even most of his men didn’t know he was going rogue! Then when it became clear Putin sorted him out within hours! Lukashenko will make Jim silent forever probably
The truth is Putin needs the mercenary army .
🎉🎉🎉🤭 What goes around comes around 🗽 how’s it feel pooty squat
it was just a protest
I have been buying some stocks since the beginning of the year, but nothing substantial. Why am I treating this poorly? However, people in the same profession are earning six figures on articles, which inspires me to aim toward becoming the first person in my polygamous family to hit the million dollar mark. I am perfectly aware that working harder to gain more money is expensive?
Nothing you’re doing is wrong; you simply lack the knowledge to profit in a bear market. The only people who may earn greatly during dangerous times like these are professionals with vast knowledge who must have observed the 2008 crisis.

Great to see you guys talking about Sandra Andrade, This woman changed the game for me.
So, were made to believe the Wagner dude brought Russia to its knees? What, 1000Km from Moscow, is about 627 miles. All I saw on TV was two vehicles on a highway a couple hundred yards apart, a tank parked in an alley and a half dozen guys with two dudes on the ground. Were made to believe it was much larger force. The media was hoping to drag this story out for a while like the submersable fiasco. So, where was our fearless leader at all this time. All we heard from was Blinken and former this and former that, that don’t know squat.Remember, Putin sent Nukes to Belarus and that’s where you know who was sent, interesting isn’t it?
Michael McFaul is a bit of a clown and not somebody I’d listen to for advice on Russia-related events.
Putin thinks he can not be overcome. As much power as he may have, he is still arrogant.
