In a Dramatic Twist Prigozhin agrees to negotiate, and surrenders himself without a shot

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

It was clear to many from the start that Prigozhin’s rebellion was something the Globalists had not calculated on. The MSM Media world wide covered the events with total surprise and without any clear script to read from, which was a remarkable event in comparison with the last 4 years.

The dramatic end to the events of June 24, 2023, came at about dusk, Moscow Time, when after hours of negotiation by the President of Belarus with Prighozin, he agreed to accept permanent exile from Russia, in exchange for pardon for all his men, and the incorporation of Wagner PMC into the Russian Ministry of Defense.

This ending is even more surprising and has commentators everywhere scratching their heads. Some say that Prighozin did not have the manpower to take Moscow, yet there was no evidence of ground troops in any great numbers being deployed to defend it. Others, that Prigozhin only wanted reform inside the Ministry of Defense, and getting promises of that, saw that he had achieved what was best for his nation.

Is Prigozhin really the only selfless patriot in Russia?

The Role of the President of Belarus, Lukashenko, is also quite a surprise. He has serious problems with internal stability of his own nation, where just last week Russian Troops poured in to prevent a rebellion. He is not in a position to offer anything, and reports were that he had left the country just days ago. Where is he? and how did he get in contact with Prigozhin?

The actions of Vladimir Putin were also a surprise to many. He was clearly caught off guard, in that he first announced a public address to the nation and then fled Moscow to St. Petersburg, which is not really a strong point in the Russian National Defense grid. At the same time, his private plane attempted to enter Kazakstan, in an attempt evidently to get himself or family out of the country.

The deputy Prime Minister’s flight to Turkey to get out of the way was also a bizarre moment in the time line of events, because certainly he would not have done so without fearing for the worse.

So Prigozhin was in a very strong position. The speculation that his men could not take Moscow did not have much to go on. Clearly in Rostov-on-Don the populace had showed that the end of Russian rule was welcome, and when the Russian Federation forces reoccupied it, after the deal was made, the populace showed its disfavor.

Dissent and dissatisfaction with the Putin regime was seen everywhere, as military base and police stations everywhere let Prigozhin’s force advance without resistance.

It is here, that I suspect the Rothschilds intervened. Their man Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB, opened the psychological profile on Prigozhin, and suggested a negotiation lead by the one man he would trust, Lukashenko, the president of Belarus.

In the end, while Prigozhin — Putin’s former chef — has given up, he has achieved something which no one else had dared. He poked the power structure of the Vladimir Putin myth and found that it is all smoke.

And this means that this rebellion was not planned or intended by the Globalists, but was a major threat to their Narrative Control, since they are planning the defeat of Russia and certainly do not want a Military Dictator in the Kremlin.

We might just see other attempted coup d’etats in Russia in the coming months, as it is now evident to everyone, that if you refuse to negotiate, you will topple Putin.

As for all the actors involved, Putin, Prigozhin and Lukashenko, the number of their days has been weighed in the balance of the fates, by the events of this years Feast of St. John the Baptist.

Finally, there is a lesson to be learned from all of this: when you have the advantage on the Globalists, never, never, never listen to a “friend” who counsels you to surrender or negotiate.

Russian Federation Prime Minister flees Moscow for St. Petersburg

https://twitter.com/nexta_tv/status/1672577828150231045

Editor’s Note: It now seems that the top members of Putin’s government have fled the Capital. This can only mean that the elite troops guarding it cannot be trusted and that Prigozhin has strong backing. The occupation of the Ministry of Defense last night seems to indicate that this is a Military Coup d’etat against Putin from the upper levels of that echelon.

UPDATES: In about 4 hours, the rebels should reach the peripheries of Moscow. It will be then that we will know immediately the fate of Putin and his govt., because if the fighting is only light or non-existent, then the rebels have at least the neutrality of the forces in the city to allow their entrance, and that means that Putin is a goner.

As Prigozhin fortifies Rostov-on-Don, a strategic Analysis

Strategic Analysis by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

If Prighozin had carefully planned his insurrection, events on the ground are not indicating that. Yes, the Deputy Minister of Defense has joined the rebellion, and Putin feared even greater defections inside that ministry, as his forces surrounded and occupied it last night.

So Prighozin is calling more troops from the front to ensure the coup is successful. This makes it appear more credible that Prighozin is not himself on the road to Moscow, with his military column which is making it there post haste.

And that leads me to take a step back and consider what the strategic plan of Prigozhin is, if he has one.

First, by sending a military column toward Moscow he puts Putin in the defensive position. Perhaps calculating that Putin is the kind of paranoid would be paralyzed by the news of a coup, the decision to send a column towards Moscow would be to capitalize on that and neutralize the decision making process of Putin and his circle of commanders — which, to say, should not be difficult, because, as the war has shown in the Ukraine, this inner circle is composed of the most incompetent bumbling idiots in modern warfare.

So the fortification of Rostov then seems to be the major tactical goal. And that means that Prigozhin has a long game strategy here which is not simply attempting a coup-d’etat because of frustration.

If he can succeed winning over the front line commanders who are now bearing the brunt of the Ukrainian Summer offensive of 2023, perhaps he will gamble on making a separate peace with Ukraine to thus free up several 10s of thousands of troops, who, by this time, might be more willing to consider the spoils to be had in a civil war than stealing Ukrainian toilets and stoves.

In the meantime, Kadrov, the leader of the Chehyans loyal to Putin has decided to fight against Prigozhin, and is now marching on Volgograd (former Stalingrad).

In the propaganda war, Putin has taken the high ground appealing to Russian Nationalism. However, Russians are not the ones on the front lines and they have supported the war precisely because Putin has recruited minorities.  While Prigozhin is making the horrible mistake of calling the victory he is aiming for a victory for his Wagner PMC and not for Russia.

If Prigozhin’s advance column can disrupt supply lines sufficiently, then the Russian Federation Forces will have a very hard time holding back the Ukrainians and the whole front may falter and collapse.

Then, it may devolve into every man for himself, first.

 I think that in the West we might be mischaracterizing what is going on between Prigozhin and Putin. This might not be an insurrection or coup. Russia which is much like the Byzantine Empire has a history of internal power struggles. Like the Roman empire of old, the General who prevails in battle over the ruling General, becomes emperor, so now in Russia, it is a battle for control of the whole state, being played by the elite of the power brokers, on the field of battle. Prigozhin as a battle hardened leader, in this, has a trump card over Putin, who has no military expertise whatsoever. At some point, those around Putin will calculate that more power can be had by eliminating Putin than defending him.

UPDATE: Prigozhin is tweeting his propaganda releases to present his cause to a wider appeal …

RUSSIAN FEDERATION is addressed by Prigozhin, not Putin

Editor’s Note: Putin has cancelled his address to the nation, just moments ago (10 AM, but Prigozhin did not. He spoke this morning at 7:30 A.M. from Rostov-on-the-Don. He says that the battle front losses being reported to Moscow are only 1/10th as big as the reality. It is clear that he wants to continue to prosecute the war against Ukraine. If he succeeds in his coup, then we can expect a more robust military effort against Ukraine.
