Wagner is an obstacle to U.S./ NATO plans in Africa and Ukraine. For months, U.S. officials have taunted Prigozhin, making ominous comments. Did they finally make good on their threats?
Overall this assassination fits the modus operandi of the U.S./NATO/Ukraine conduct of the war: commit an act of terror, blame Russia. Then corporate media run with the story. See also Nord Stream destruction, missile attacks on Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the Nova Kakhovka dam flood. I believe at one point Russia was even blamed for bombing its own Kerch Strait Bridge.
Yes, good points. It's the same western media formula over and over again. And for some reason, many people in the West continue to fall for this fraud. As if they've never heard of the parable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. Our government and media lie repeatedly, and yet a significant portion of Americans still trust them.
Yesterday I checked out all the headlines on Yahoo news, a corporate news aggregator that I seldom look out. The glaring anti-Russia and anti-China bias and just outright falsehoods (Russia is losing in Ukraine, China's economy is going down the tubes) were breathtaking. I left off thinking that it's clear why so many in the U.S. are completely misinformed when it comes to current events.
Our imperial managers don't see themselves in the Emperor's New Clothes, either. Hubris will be our downfall.
Cui bono indeed, that is the question, who would benefit the most and I would think the answer to that would be France. Hasn't there been some mention of a gift of wine given to Prigozghin before his departure? I don't know it to be true, but if it were how fitting would it be for France. Just a hunch.
That's interesting information. I don't know if some French wine was handed over, but yes, you're right, France also has reason to kill Prigozhin, and has the resources to act on it, together with the U.S., Poland and the UK.
