Godfather Putin - The Death of Yevgeny Prigozhin - Failed Coup Leader - Putin Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.44pm post the following, "  Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken for the first time about the incident.....In a televised address, he sent his condolences to the families of the dead, and also described Prigozhin as a talented businessman....He said Prigozhin was a person "with a complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in life"

Lets Get Real:

One is starting to think that President Putin has seen the Godfather trilogy to many times, he sacked Air Force General who was running the War in the Ukraine and killed the head of the Wagner group, its co founder also, 60 days after the failed coup,  sending condolences shows signs of hubris, the entire WORLD and that includes Russia think he gave the okay for either the shoot down, the Guardian reports that the US has doubts about the idea that the plane was shot down,  or a bomb on the plane that killed a man he had called a traitor and had been his personal Chef.  This shows Putin does not keep his word, those that want to start peace talks, are failing to understand that Putin is EVIL and leads a gangster regime.  The last few days has had a operatic feel, the West has to see that Putin is a MAFIA Godfather, ruthless and evil to the core.  Russia must be stopped in the Ukraine, the Russia word cannot be trusted, as the head of the Wagner Group found to his cost. 

Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane has come down- reported Dead - Real Coup Leader killed by Putin - Putin Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.36pm post, " Prigozhin dead, says Wagner-linked Telegram channel....A Telegram channel believed to be linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin has said the Wagner leader is dead....Grey Zone said he was "killed as a result of actions by traitors of Russia". "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Putin has waited, revenge best served cold, for the head of the Wagner Group who tried to de-thrown him with a coup, one does wonder what happens to the Wagner Group NOW, who takes over his soldiers and his troops in Africa.  That brings in a lot of money for Putin and Russia, and at the present Russia needs the money, also its Putin's private retirement fund should he need to leave office fast.  The West will not be asked to part of the investigation in to to the crash, that will open to many leaks in to the assassination, it look like from CNN reported evidence that the plane was shot down.

Biden Oval Asks US Congress for 24 billion AID for the Ukraine - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.45pm post the following, " 

Biden asks for further $24bn for Ukraine aid.......

Mr Biden said the money for Ukraine would be used for humanitarian, economic and security assistance for the country........The US is already by far the biggest financial supporter of Ukraine, and further spending of this magnitude would bring a total of well over $70bn since the outbreak of the war.  "

Lets Get Real:

The far right Republicans will be hard to get over on the above as the Guardian  notes, they oppose blank cheques to the Ukraine, also Trump is opposed to the spending, the House will need to be handled with care by the Biden Oval, let's be honest they want to impeach Biden if they have the votes.  The long WAR in the Ukraine could run for years, well in till November, the World must hope that a Republican who backs the War against Russia beats Trump or a like minded Republican.  World security is at stake in the Ukraine - Russia War, if Russia wins they gain more land, if Ukraine losses they lose their freedoms and country, and Putin could try for a NATO country.  Putin is now weak after the failed coup/fake  coup, the Wagner group got close to Moscow, where was the Russian Army, nowhere  in sight.  Also the Wagner group shot down a few Russian planes and no charges so far.  World War 3 could still break out, the elements are there. 

 Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.32pm post the following, " US not aware of any specific Wagner threat to Poland....We reported earlier that the Belarusian president has been taunting Poland over the presence of Wagner troops near the Polish border.....John Kirby, who sits on President Biden's national security council, says the US is not aware of "any specific threat" posed by Wagner troops to Poland or any NATO member state.  "

Lets Get Real:

When it comes to Poland, we should take any threat as REAL, we do not want to find that little Russian green men turn up as in 20214 Crimea, the Biden Oval should send more US troops to the Polish and Belarus border, we do not want another 1939, if the War in the Ukraine goes iffy for Putin, he might divert the War to Poland, force NATO to use its own arms and men and not give them to the Ukraine.  There is no way out for Putin, he either wins or his regime falls, he must know that, thus the Ukraine needs to place more pressure on the Kremlin and the Putin Regime.  The Russia  TV PR on the  war must be broken or hacked as allow REAL news to get through.   This is a War that the West cannot lose, what ever the stakes. 

Yevgeny Prigozhin is alive and well in Belarus ? - Ukraine - Russia War - Bide Era

BBC News: Reports " Prigozhin: Video appears to show Wagner boss in Belarus....A video on Telegram channels linked to the Wagner mercenary group appears to show its boss Yevgeny Prigozhin in Belarus. "

Lets Get Real:

Is this real footage of Prigozhin or a deep fake AI spouting the Kremlin line, the fact that the man in the images states that the Russia military action in the Ukraine is a disgrace, seems to confirm that it is real, why do a deep fake that says what Prigozhin has already said about the War, also the speaker states that Wagner is not finished in the Ukraine.   What really has to ask what does Prigozhin have on Putin, does he have something that could destroy Putin should prigozhin fall from a window or WMD  is used on him.   Let's recall the Wagner boss tried a coup a few weeks ago, and Putin called him a traitor, then had tea with him.   This whole affair is very murky, very OLD KGB, will Putin take his  time to kill the Wagner boss, only time will tell.

Ukraine Drones Attack Crimea Bridge - Ukraine - Russia War - Putin Era

BBC News: Reports in its 12.47pm that Russia blames the West for the 2nd Attack on the Crimea Bridge, " West may be complicit in Crimea bridge attack - Moscow...Russia’s foreign ministry says Western countries could be complicit in what it is calling a Ukrainian “terrorist” attack on the Crimea bridge...A spokeswoman from the ministry earlier said, without evidence, that Ukrainian decisions were taken "with the direct participation of American and British intelligence agencies and politicians”.  "

Lets Get Real:

Moscow since the dawn of time has blamed the West for its problems, Putin with his illegal invasion in February 2022 started the present mess, he is a War Criminal who lies as he talks.  The West has done a good job of late in the supply of military kit, let's hope they supply military kit that can bring down the whole Crimea bridge, this time taking down the whole road and train service, without taking human life.  The Wagner group seems to be resting and their leader in official disgrace, but still having meetings with Putin, eve  after the failed coup attempt.  The War could be a long one, Biden  needs to win this before 2024 and the Presidential Election.  There is still a chance that Trump or Trump like candidate could win and become a threat to national security of the West and the Ukraine. 

Yevgeny Prigozhin MET President Putin after COUP Attempt - Failed Coup - President Putin Era

BBC  News:  Reports " Putin meets Prigozhin: Getting to grips with latest twist in Wagner saga...Russian President Vladimir Putin met Yevgeny Prigozhin five days after the Wagner mercenary boss led a failed mutiny, the Kremlin has revealed.  "

Lets Get Real:

The failed Coup gets  more interesting by the day, this blog stated at the start that it was a fake coup, an attempt to flush out those opposed to the Regime, later this blog admitted that it was REAL, there is always the idea of going with your gut, sometimes it is right, why would Putin meet with Prigozhin otherwise, Russia TV has already shown the home and office of Prigozhin being raided by the Police, the Russian media message is all over the place, he is in or out with Putin, was it a massive  media  misdirection by the Kremlin to move Western coverage from the Ukraine. Churchill once said something like Russia is a riddle in a enigma, it does have 11 different time zones.  What is going on is Russia, is Putin so weak, that he cannot remove threats to is Regime. 

Why is Yevgeny Prigozhin still alive ? - Failed Russian Coup - Putin Era

BBC News: Reports " Wagner boss Prigozhin is in Russia, Belarus ruler Lukashenko says.....Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin - who led a short-lived rebellion in Russia last month - is in Russia and not Belarus, the leader of Belarus says.  "

Lets Get Real:

Putin is making  a bad example of being a Autocrat, before the failed coup Putin would have killed or removed any opposition to him, the CNN anchors were going through the methods used by the Kremlin, those opposed to Putin seems to fall from windows, have door handles covered with poison, or clothes, or been shot and killed or placed in prison for the World to see. In Imperial Russia, Tsar Alexander III and the weak Tsar Nicholas would hang those that were seen as a threat to the Tsar. In the USSR Stalin would murder millions.   It looks like Prigozhin is not going to go quiet and live in Belarus, Putin cannot allow the Wagner boss to make him a laughing stock, is Prigozhin going to do another coup attempt, he was popular in the streets that he took over and he will only be safe if he goes for the top job.   Without the Wagner Group can the Russians hold the areas they control in East Ukraine.   The recent Ukraine worry about the Russians blowing up a nuclear plant in their control has not happened, did the Kyiv Government frighten Russian off, or is Putin holding that back just in case. 

Putin New Remarks on Failed Coup - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.15pm post the following, " 

Putin says organisers of rebellion to be 'brought to justice'.....

Putin said in a statement the "organisers of this rebellion will be brought to justice" and that the rebellion was "criminal activity which is aimed at weakening the country"....He also thanked Wagner officials who "took the right decision to stop and go back to prevent bloodshed"....The uprising was "doomed to fail" and that "its organisers, even though they lost their sense of right and wrong, couldn't have failed to realise that," he continued. "

Lets Get Real:

If I was Yevgeny Prigozhin I would be very scared for my life and my money, this blog thought that the Coup attempts was a FAKE COUP, it could be wrong, the charges against Prigozhin  had been dropped and the adverts to recruit more Russian man in to the Wagner Mercenaries had gone back up. So what is going on, the Putin speech was very short for him, he seems to want the head of Prigozhin but also wants the his troops to either sign up to the Russian Ministry of Defence of go home.  If Putin was in total control he would not make that kind of offer, so what will Prigozhin do NOW, it seems that the deal he has done with Putin is no longer valid, does he still control his troops or is this a ploy by both men to get over the business, with Prigozhin in Belarus with his troops and Putin still safe in the Kremlin.  One does hope that the CIA/NSA have better information that goes for MI6/GCHQ in the UK.  We wait further information.
