From the beginning, I didn't believe any of this. The reports didn't sound 'right'. Prigozhin is a known fraudster. The obvious sign of a Con Artist is they have big mouths. Prigozhin is too loose of canon to be positioned at the level he is at without official approval. In addition, there wasn't any corroborating video evidence to suggest a coup was actually happening. Most all of it, from what I was seeing, was being reported through Twitter. Was Twitter being used as a medium to spread this narrative? I believe it was. Yesterday, I commented, "I don't believe any of it. I've seen this drama before. It's laying a trap for the Ukies, just like before in Bahkmut."
Yesterday on 06-24-23, I added, "IMHO, I simply don't believe this and will wait the standard 72 hours."
We're not even at the 72 hour mark and we are already seeing this was a big PsyOp. The purported shooting down of Russian helicopters by Wagner was also suspect. Despite seeing video of helicopters shooting missiles, there was no evidence of any helicopters being hit by anti-aircraft missiles. Nor was a there any evidence suggesting the location or time. At "Simplicius" believed there was Russian helicopters shot down. Maybe was fooled into believing it, or could even have been wittingly part of the PsyOp. Either wittingly or unwittingly, he played a role in the PsyOp.
I also thought the 'deal' that was made for allowing Prigozhin to exile in Belarus was odd, especially if the purported Russian deaths were true. It didn't sound right. Then, Prigozhin claimed no loss of life occurred during the alleged coup. This was a direct reversal of what he originally claimed. Now, it seems to be clearer, especially to having learned the extent of Wagner's reach and importance to Russia's ability for using Wagner in their 'plausible deniability' game in foreign affairs. Wagner is even in the Sahel region of Africa and beyond being used as mercenaries for influence pedaling for Russian interests. So, it appears Prigozhin hasn't expended his capital for being useful. Far from it.
The Belarus exile means something far more interesting.
"confidently dead wrong" I love that turn of phrase....
Pundits in general are wrong 90% of the time on any given topic.... I've never understood why people listen to them. For exclusively political/election pundits it's more like 98% wrong.
No video corroborated evidence, no reports, just telegram rumors that people believed without verification...
Go ahead and look for yourselves. Not a single bit of evidence that Wagner shot down Russian aircraft...
It’s also laughable that people think Wagner could have shot down Russian aircraft and Putin would just let Prigozhin walk...
Prigozhin said himself that no blood was spilled. And you all think they took out multiple Russian aircraft without taking any fire?...
All of it was a psyop...

Can someone fill me in on why CFP is so anti Russia and Putin?
All jokes aside, what did we learn today?
We learned that the Western media apparatus and the American public, largely know absolutely nothing about the conflict in Ukraine/Russia.
MSM outlets, “experts”, analysts, talking heads, etc., all of them were confidently dead wrong.

I heard an interesting take:
That now, Wagner will be placed closer to Kiev under the guise of exile, requiring Ukraine to move forces away from their southern push.
Is itnpossible this is all leading up to a try at taking Odessa, and more importantly the Port of Odessa?
News flash, that's NOT a KA-52! A KA-52 has NO TAIL ROTOR! That's an MI-8
