Allriighty then. Here is another analysis and, I admit, Tom agrees with me on the 3rd alternative. Seems 3D chess enough for me.
Apparently, Robert Barnes gets it, too.

I am trying to catch-up and am more confused than normal. Is there a bottom line? What is going on now?
@ColonelZ
With regard to your post quoting “Travis”, don’t know what Wagner’s or Putin’s plans really are or were but I believe in following the money trail in a big way. @Robert_Barricklow has a thread announcing an executive from Goldman Sachs who was named as head of Turkey’s central bank, which is a huge deal…HUGE! The over land path between Asia and Europe and the bankers are lining up; JPM, GS and including BlackRock; and these are just who we know about.
This absolutely smacks of BRI and ‘they’ must have Russia to make it work. Of course, they want the immense natural resources and undoubtedly some of the most precious archeological and antiquities relics in the world. They must have Russia.
Truly, it is a murder of crows lining up for it.

“Russia was able to accomplish several objectives during this double-cross mutiny. It moved troops to areas under the guise of countering the coup that otherwise would have drawn attention and possible attack if carried out during normal wartime operations. Vladimir Putin gained a better appreciation of his popular support. Not even the Communist Party, which despises Putin, came out to back Prigozhin. The West continues to insist that this was a show of weakness by Putin. Really? No political opponent of any consequence jumped on the coup bandwagon. The Russian people did not flock to the streets in an Orange revolution rush calling for Putin’s head. Just the opposite.”
the end of the above article.
Let’s imagine an alternative scenario. There is a coup/mutiny in Washington, DC against Joe Biden. Does anyone really believe that the 50 Governors and all members of the Senate and House would rush to Joe Biden’s defense? I don’t.

The most interesting, and probably the most accurate, description of what has ACTUALLY been going on.
Rolo Slavskiy is clearly anti-Putin so that needs to be taken into consideration. It sounds like Shoigu is on everyone’s incompetent list.

This observation aligns with Col. D. Macgregor’s view, which proposes that both the Wagner group and upper-middle ranking military officials are displeased with Putin’s Confucian strategy. Shoigu was the main focus of their antagonism, with Putin’s actions being a secondary point of contention; however, this did not amount to an actual mutiny.

‘Confucian strategy’? what rabbithole s that?
did you mean ‘Sun Tzu-eslike’?
and just a few old photos, from the guy who never met Putin… and to add some salt to the butter.
lookie-lookie:
so here are three pictures. all three have Prigozhin on them. i could show you more, but I don’t think that’s necessary.
in the 2000s, this man owned the best restaurants and nightclubs in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and only his restaurants were allowed to dine the major city, state events, and most notably Interstate negotiations. from Bush to Hillary Clinton and Merkel, everyone had lunch or dinner with Putin in his restaurants. in no other place could you reserve a table for these events by protocol.
anyone who knows Moscow from 2000-2010 knows that it was cool to go to his places, and the fact that the most popular singers, actors and presenters began to invest in restaurants can in a sense be related to him. certain restaurants were actually run by him, while apparently a popular face was the minority or majority owner of a new, cheeky place. and in these restaurants, for some strange reason, there were always “well-insulated, quiet halls” that might not have been so well-insulated. It has become a network of contacts from television to the music industry to sports that very few people have. and then we didn’t even talk about the fact that in every school and kindergarten in Moscow and St. Petersburg, his company Concord fed the children. and then the Russian Army. just as now.
oh, and before that happened to him, he was released prematurely from prison, where he ended up because he had no “friends”. and after these were found, and a little while, he poured the wine into Bush’s and the first lady’s glasses. it’s pretty clear that he and the Secret Service never met, never heard of each other…
so the whole West and the lamestream media, along with MI6 and CIA were horribly thrown over the palisade in the weekend with this ‘Coup’. and they even paid for it!
read Pepe:
p.s.: one may hate the Russians, but they do know chess. and chess means ‘war’ on every account. just children call it a ‘game’.

Servant, always a servant! I guess the servants are running the show… I went to one of his restaurants once on a boat inn St Pete. Good but overpriced but I guess I’m part of the plot

This is an interesting perspective, when you say servant do you mean as in a slave, or a lesser being than someone who is paid to do nothing but talk?
To serve is to give, to take what is given is to be a student.

A guy that puts food on your table and cleans off the breadcrumbs. No need to get philosophical about it.

I don’t know of anyone besides Christ who would do that (for me).
If you have money to go to restaurants, they are serving people with their own tables.
Someone who will serve you food and clean up your mess at your own house, that would be a servant.
In some languages yes. In others there is no distinction and English doesn’t always rule.

Servants were replaced with servers, wait staff, domestics, housekeeping, cooks, chefs etc…
English is unusual, “to serve” is also a phrase used to describe what courts do in serving notice to someone that they’re being sued or charged with a crime.
Buying food from farmers, merchants or kitchens, this is considered to be a trade when someone is paying money, it could also be said that they are being served money by customers who give them coins.
Anyway not trying to go further off topic, that was just my opinion.
Governments are supposed to be servants for the people, when new governments are established why else would anyone even sign up to be involved with them?
There appears to be two kinds of people:
Order Givers
Order Takers
I wonder where the servant belongs, lol
I’m off to the airport now, will be away for a bit.

Extreme reservations to act in any way construed as militarily offensive, this behavior, apparently is part and parcel to the Russian culture and mind.
