#MSNBC #Putin #Russia
Anyone remember when putin mocked an American reporter by saying a January 6th would never happen in Russia? 🤣🤣🤣
Putin also said 'Moscow has the best whores.' Does that mean Putin has tried whores in 550 other locales? Speaking of whores, Putin has one in Monaco, for whom he pays $225,000 per month. ...and he can't get to bonk her because there are only a few countries in the world which will allow him at their airports without arresting him.
it didn't happen. He was right.
He was right.
Wagner's move toward Moscow was a "tourist visit", seeking legitimate political discourse!!!
There were lots of hugs and kisses (even some rapes along the way!!!); it was a beautiful day if you ask the sore loser!!!
@@brentharrington9235 Exactly....Im not sure why he thinks this is a dunk?
When it does happen he will go down.
Let's call it what it is president for life is not a presidency it's a dictatorship.
I was fixin’ to say the same thing. The founding fathers did not want any high falutin’ titles so they came up with the term president because the person doesn’t rule; they preside. After a time, despots began using the term in a lame effort to give their regimes some false legitimacy. The Russian kleptocracy is a prime example.
True. Xi Xinping appointed himself "President for life" of China too.
He is not the only one
Prigozhin was forgiven far too easily. This was a ploy. They're up to something, but we don't have all the pieces of the puzzle.
Likely americans promised him a few billion, of our tax dollars, to do this and he took the money and ran with it. Best make out those tax checks early this coming tax season
Expect Prigozhin to be defenestrated in 3, 2, 1...
@@pegasus5287 Prigozhin wouldn't risk his life for the US
I follow a lot of expert and tht most credible option for me is that Putin will die soon and he basically say: "Go to Belarus and wait a bit until i'm gone and you can take power"...
nope- Putin would NEVER go on national tv and talk about the need to squash revolution. this was real, but prigozhin decided not to sacrifice his young fighters.
I just want to point out that Wagner took more territory in Russia in one day than they did in Ukraine over 8 months.
😂😂😂
Украинская армия помойка как и НАТО с США
And lost it in under 12 hours.
No, he took billions from the money we sent and ran off with it silly. Never intending to do much
He knows he's a threat to Putin, Putin admitted as much. Why not take a break from the fighting, recover his numbers and wait for Putin to weaken even more before striking or, running against him in the next election?
Makes more sense than losing his whole band of mercenaries just to prove a point.
Tomorrow's headline, "Prigozhin accidentally falls out of 10th story window".
🙏🙏🙏 I love learning from McFaul….
Super privilege to have access to him and the other US/ NATO experts…
PROXY WAR 😂
Not only that, but Putin bolted from Moscow, precisely the opposite of what Zelensky did in Kiev...
Yep, Putin was running scared.
Honestly, is there any other news in the world other than Trump's indictments or the Ukraine war? I'm sick of hearing about it.
@@LibtardsareFuntotalkto …a sub went missing…

@@LibtardsareFuntotalktomsnbc wants trump to be elected, so much money in ratings you know. He is practically all they talk about and they certainly dont want us hearing about the developments into the biden family. The texts, phone calls demanding money all that stuff
Flash back to Helsinki where the strong guy Trump completely withered in front of this guy…..
Make America weak again
Re elect a seditionist
Putin marched him out of that back room looking Reek from Game of Thrones.
"Strong guy"?? I think not.
“What I should’ve said was…I don’t see why it wouldn’t be Russia” 😂
This military operation gets more special by the day
It’s far from a “presidency”.
It does fall in line with something a Czar would do...
We'll see how long this Wagner leader lives, after all, we are talking Putin here.
Here's your tea, oh & come and have a look at the view from this 🪟!
No high-rise hotels in the near future for ol Priggy I bet.
Glad to hear from Amb. Michael McFaul！
You like propaganda? And near falsehoods?
All this suffering because of the vanity of one man.
Just like here with the trump "presidency".
Two but who's counting 😶
You mean Elon Musk?
This is the problem with western corporate media----they welcome the state to spin UNQUESTIONED narratives, but because apparently they claim to be professional Journalists, we know them also to be millionaires, and when you are rich, you are tethered to the source of your wealth. So, how and what does the western corporate media respond to the pressure of accusations of spinning narratives for the state, they draft .They draft-in, a retinue of black and brown newscasters, commentators and analysts, in itself a pure political move to drive a wedge between the convergence of the political views of the far-right and black and brown views on the EVERLASTING and coordinated and undebated support of the Ukrainian war and western support.
Well, prigo had an 'American dream', when he was a "hotdog vendor" and he achieved it over and beyond the American dream whilst in Russia-- but clearly, below the exclusive class that is allowed to invest in the US/western military complex...
Putin recently moved his nuclear weapons to Belarus. Now, his chef, Prigozhin, went to exile in Belarus as well. Is that a coincidence, or they're cooking up something that the world is confused about?
I’m wondering that again.
He did not move all those weapons to Belarus, just some.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 Russia said they did this. Hard to know whether it's real or not - and if it is real one would doubt that Belarus has any kind of independent control of them.
If they were that smart, they would not have been humiliated by the Ukraine's resistance!!!
but Prigozhin stated repeatedly that Putin was deceived and believes there was no immediate threat from NATO, all false pretenses
There is Prigozian in Belarus with all the armaments that Putin has already stationed there. This could be a case of the goose with the bag of corn!
Lukashenko to Prigozhin: "Putin gives you two options -- death or exile. What's your choice, comrade?"
The fact he had a choice at all is an embarrassment to Putin
@@Suge67 Sure you can spin it that way. Prigozhin has been acting erractically for weeks and months; Putin should have reigned him in before this. But fact is that the Russian Federation internal security and military stood with Putin, as did the populace (they were cheering Wagner for turning around, not for 'invading')
Prigoshin's mistake was taking the first step and then refusing to complete the journey.
@@Suge67 It might not really be a choice. Prigozhin's future may be death in exile.
@@jim2376 Spot on. His time as a window cleaner in exile in Minsk is going to be short.
The longer this war drags the stronger Ukraine will become, the weaker russia will become, now and in the end & in the future. Russia is not fighting Ukraine, they are fighting United nations in Ukraine .
Putin making the deal himself would have made him look weak,
he went down a level to deal with Prigoshin,
so he had a subordinate do it for him.
er... fleeing Moscow and having to negotiate with Pregozhin already made him look weak. It's more likely that Lukashenko did it because they have been friends for decades.
@@zoeherriot yes, correct the event itself made him look weak,
an event he had no control over.
The negotiation, he had control over,
if he did it directly with Progozhin, then it would appear
Putin LOST.
Having a third party do it, alleviates this appearance.
Friend or not, nobody is negotiating anything
for Putin, without his OK to do so.
How you earn flying lessons from a hotel window.
I'm sorry. He looks weak man
@@theboringchannel2027 which Putin? He was in three places at once yesterday.
@@theboringchannel2027, If anyone thinks that Prigozhin has a long history of “retirement” awaiting him they are delusional.
Putin KNOWS that he has to get rid of him, not just because Prigozhin might try again in the future, but because he can’t be seen to have tried and got away with it. A “message” HAS TO BE SENT, to serve as a warning to others who might consider trying.
I would be VERY SURPRISED if Prigozhin is alive at the end of 2024.
The man said himself that when he was done with his mission in Ukraine he was going after Putin. He broadcast it to the whole world. It wasn't a secret.
"Putin faces biggest challenge of his presidency" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Slava BOHU
If there’s ever a universal truth. Everyone is replaceable. He’ll probably be poisoned.
'...Biggest Challenge of his Tyranny,' is a more accurate descriptor.
I think its much simpler than that.
If you were Prigozhin, as a commander in the field, and wanted to abandon your post. This type of scenario achieves just that. While the Wagner group might have been one of the more successful groups it still suffered losses. This action looks like an excuse to retreat, integrate his troops into the Russian army proper and escape the conflict himself. Just a case of self-preservation.
How embarrassing for Russia. Her own forces turn against her! 🤣🤣
Putin 😡 fears the lone wolf kbg agents more than anything else
Actually they are more mercenary. Which may be why Putin allowed himself the luxury of hitting and killing these troops, as Progozhin claims. Isn't that the big question? Why?
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 PRESIDENT candidate for the GOP party.
Honestly I'm more concerned with the rising price of food, housing and insurance in America and how I'm going to pay for it...
The Wagner group is to Russia what Academi (AKA Blackwater) is to USA. Well not exactly, but more or less.
"His Presidency?!"
Didn't he Declare Himself God Overthere
Putin's Chef Wanted The Whole Enchilada
God bless Ukraine families and volunteers 💙 💛
Putin didn’t realize there are natural predators out there who could make his life miserable. 😮
You think what happend was real.
@@michaelpetrovich5353 The Wagner Group convoy was bombed on the way to Moscow, that was real. A fuel storage area was also bombed about 371 miles from Moscow, that was real. The highway was blocked in several areas and trenches were dug across the main highway to slow Wagner Group progress to Moscow, that was real. The Wagner Group shot down at least 2 Russian aircraft one a helicopter, the other an intelligence gathering plane, that was real. As far as the rest, who can say?
@@sandybennett_itsme he been yelling about getting weapons so can crush Ukraine if there any truth in this he only unhappy they not succeed take Ukraine and think can do it better himself, this type of change of leadership would not be in favor for Ukraine, if he somehow would manage to succeed he wants to take a stronger approach and would not show any mercy like Putin does
The so-called attack on Wagner forces may have been an assassination attempt.
It's misguided to think that Putin wasn't behind the deal with Lukashenko. He would not want to lower himself to the same level as Prigozhin to make a deal directly, and Lukashenko does nothing without the direction of Putin. In fact, if he had, that would be even bigger news.
Remember that Putin still needs Wagner as his proxy in Syria and all over Africa. Prigozhin should go to one of those places to prove his ongoing worth or he might not have long to live.
Putin has leverage on everyone. This deal was Putin stating what he needed him to do to avoid probably his entire family being wiped out. Prigozhin is just a dead man walking now. He will comply to Putin’s demands and then he will be killed. Very simple. There is no forgiveness. Wagner members are not loyal to Prigozhin, they are mercenaries and just want to get paid.
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 PRESIDENT candidate for the GOP party.
Why do you use “presidency” instead of “dictatorship” with this criminal autocrat?
Excellent commentary, thank you.
What Putin says and does is two different things. No one in their right mind or even bad mind will sleep on him
Putin lies as easily and often as his bosom buddy Trump. Two peas in a rotten pod.
Must have been some incredible negotiations going on:
"Go back to Ukraine, and we won't fire any more missiles on you."
"Okay."
"I'll only quit if you fire these two"
"This makes you look weak comrade."
Life is all about challenges. The most important thing is to surmount them.
Yes
Now is the time to give Ukraine what they need to end this war!
That is aStaged Revolt!
exactly China will not be happy about Russia or Putin
As far back as I can remember the world is crazy .
The big walrus has to rescue the little poisoner. It’s the three stooges in this show 😂😂
Awesome coverage
If you like propaganda.
sorry sir you can't park that tank there
And suddenly the leader of the Wagner group jumps out of a window, while he was in his bathroom taking a tubby.
There go I ...if we don't learn. Thank you for teaching in real time.
Putin just realized his mistake. The Russian oligarchs armed themselves with their own battalions and now can march on Moscow, he is weak and vulnerable.
Just like when the Roman generals realized that with an army behind them they could force the Roman republic to do their bidding.
Easy come easy go
The American right must be in a tizzy. Which murderous Russian do they declare fealty to?
It's probably still Putin we'll have to ask Tucker Carlson.
@@enigma12990 The right sucking up to Putin has been going on for decades.
Hence the Liv golf tour and various chinese fundraisers. Only old demon tortoise mitch is doing okay right now, Beijing contacts will be the only gop lifeline.
I do not trust the deal. Something is amyss.
Like your spelling?
@@winstonsmith6607😊
Putin will surely find a window through which Prigozhin will fall
Putin: You may freely go to Belarus
Pragozhin: I will f$&king go where I go dah?!
Dah.
Well, apparently he couldn't let that go...
Shoulda just kept fishing
Genius…Ted Cruz mtg where are you? Another WINNER….
@1:23 Look for *Prigozhin* to be very, very, very leery of of visitors carrying _polonium tipped_ umbrellas.
Why did Prigozhin stop?
1. He was forced to march to Moscow. If he didn't, Putin would have wiped Wagner out. Fighting against Putin was the only way out. Belarus gave Prigozhin political asylum. Prigozhin didn't have to fight to keep his life.
2. Prigozhin was very confident to defeat. He decided to get nobel peace prize by going to Belarus.
Many news sources indicate number 1 was wrong. I don't know about others, but i don't believe Prigozhin wanted Nobel peace prize. He does not care about life including Russians, so why did he stop?
This could be false flag
Never underestimate Putin.
The U.S., Ukraine & and the West shouldn't fall asleep & and make sure that this isn't a Trojan horse!
Get ready for the surprise attack on Kyyiv from Belarus by the Mercenaries, this whole thing smells of a Putin ruse.
Well it's hardly a surprise when they've advertised where they're going, is it? Besides, Ukraine has been preparing the northern border for a Belarus incursion for months now.
@@ElectricshrockThey are not going to Belarus. They are either staying where they are and signing up with the regular army, or they are dismissed and are going home
There is NO WAY his circle would allow him to use nuclear weapons now.... His circle is getting pretty tired of this little man's foolishness. And they know, it's not going to get better...
You see a little pressure and putin will back down.
God bless the mother land
Fifty bucks says Prigozhin falls out a window!
I say poison
Taking bets on from what floor it will be is all that's left to do .🤔
A dash of Novichuk in his Vodka.
Why would the world worry about the downfall of Putin. He is a madman.
Cause this is a western propaganda media. There is a war between west and Russia is going on. It's called information operations and propaganda.
Because disorganized Mordor may be more dangerous than organized Mordor
Putin never needed to put himself through all this hassle. I bet he wishes he could turn back the clock and forget all about Ukraine !
What if this were merely a chess deal with Lukashenko to allow the Wagner forces to use Belarus as a point of attack on Kiev?
My question, too.
@@alicehendriks-boshoff5819 the answer is no. There is no logic to this train of thought that makes any sense what so ever.
NATO surveillance would see this coming from a thousand miles away.
@@mile_high_topher exactly.
I feel the same way. There is more to this than we know. Prigozhin is now in Belarus. What does that mean for the small countries around Belarus? 😊
Putin let him go freely to Belarus? 😂😂😂
Prigoshin's guard will be overpowered and then he will "accidentally" fall out a window.
If he stays on the ground floor he need not worry
Like Pootin could do that. Pootin is the one that needs to worry.
Poor Lil pootin, all puffed up with nowhere to hide.
I think there's an open window in a MInsk high-rise just waiting for Mr. Y. Prigozhin.
Putin was hiding in his bunker from the Hot Dog man! But he thinks he can take on NATO. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe this is strategic, making the rest of the world think they're divided when actually everything is fine. The "make them think you're weak when you're strong" maneuver. Hope the infighting is true but you never know.
yep. Wagner runs up the fake-insurrection-flag, and the Kremlin quietly monitors public, bureaucracy, and military response . People start going to Siberia and out high windows.

Putin has serious mental health issues, IMHO, exacerbated by fears around the COVID pandemic.
He was so paranoid about catching COVID that when meeting with his 'ministers' he put so much distance between them that they needed microphones to communicate.
At that time, in the early days of Covid, Putin was also obsessing about the break up of the USSR that he claimed was the biggest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century.
It wasn't exactly a 'mid-life crisis' more like a 'late-life crisis' as he was just about turning
70 years old!
I don't know enough about him to fathom what on earth possessed him to invade the sovereign country of Ukraine. It makes no sense to me.
This is a Russian Ruse to get next to nuclear weapons
I think there's a high probability Putin does his polonium trick.
Biden had better find a way to take advantage of this Situation between Perghozin & Putin.
I think the title of the post , " putin faces his biggest challenge of his presidency " , is in incorrect. It should accurately say , putin faces his biggest challenge of his dictatorship.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤It’s time to move some pieces around on the game board. It’s time to clean house, re-org.

Looks like the whole thing was a charade. 50 missiles sent to Kiev during this show, and Prigozhin just walks away. We are indeed living in strange times.
Prigozhin is alive for 😢now. This is not over by a long shot!
And now Wagner is just across the border from Kyiv.. seems almost too convenient, right? Not a shot fired, no real damage of any kind and now a move that would’ve been impossible otherwise has been accomplished overnight.
Yet it makes Putin looks weak. You think that any part of any strategy would involve undermining the president during an unpopular war?
Grandma, buy a map
Wagner, the group is where is was before the mutiny, across a front line from Ukrainian forces.
Whoever spreads the idea that the group was teleported or airdropped into Belarus "overnight" needs to have his meds adjusted.
Surely you mean "of his dictatorship" do you not?
😡👉👥 EVERY ANGRY DOG HAS HIS OR HER DAY!!!💙💙💙💙
Whats with the cold stare lol
How long before Prigozhin falls out of a hospital window as being treated for being poisoned?.
