“Prigozhin” is a slave of gold/the role of the US and NATO in planning the “Treason”
“Abdul Bari Atwan”, a prominent analyst of the Arab world, wrote in his editorial in Rai Al-Iyoum newspaper about the situation in Russia: “Great betrayal”; This is the interpretation of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, about the rebellion of Yevgeny Pergozhin, the commander of the Wagner militia, against the Moscow regime. This betrayal was designed with the aim of thwarting the great victory that the Russian army was able to achieve against the counterattacks of Ukraine; Counterattacks that NATO and its member countries were committed to. Ukrainian President Zelensky has admitted that the progress of these attacks was very slow because the United States and NATO countries do not provide weapons and advanced military equipment to their country.
Surprised by the military mutiny of one of his closest allies, Putin declared in a five-minute speech that the betrayal was a “stab in the back” and that he should be wary of civil war. He pledged to stop this betrayal and punish its perpetrators.
In the continuation of this article, it is stated: What makes us wonder is how the Russian military intelligence service did not notice the planning of this rebellion and the intentions of its leaders in advance? Wagner’s group is a slave to money and gold, and whoever gives them more money and gold, they go to him. A strategic mistake of this magnitude needs to be investigated and its agents, even though they are close to Putin, should be punished.
The next issue, which is no less important than the other issues, is the immediate advance of Wagner’s militia and taking control of the Russian city of Rostov near the Ukrainian border; The city where the central command, especially the headquarters of the head of the joint staff of the Russian army, was located, was given to Wagner’s militia without any resistance. After that, Wagner’s militia moved towards Moscow without being exposed to the air attacks of the Russian forces.
The involvement of the United States and other NATO member countries in this great military information rebellion was predictable and perhaps this rebellion was the result of a planned plan in the dark rooms. From the very first day of the Russian army’s attack on the borders of Ukraine, the American and European media strongly talked about the possibility of a major military coup against the Russian president, considering the existence of a split in the country’s army and the opposition of senior officers to the war against Ukraine.
It is not unlikely that these media advertisements were actually a cover for the secret recruitment of the Wagner group and its commander. Prigozhin revealed Russian war secrets and the downing of a Russian helicopter and made strange demands about the need to remove the defense minister and the army chief and the chief of the joint staff of the Russian army. All of this shows the height of arrogance and blackmail from a country as big as Russia. A person who, at the height of a decisive war that targets his country and its territorial integrity, imposes such insulting conditions against the president of his country and creates a crisis in the middle of the war, and sows the seeds of sedition for a civil war, is he but a traitor? Big, can you consider another adjective for him?
Pergozhin could aspire to seize power in Russia, but all the reasons and signs indicated that his coup would end sooner than he thought. We have to pay attention to the fact that the Russian army is the second most powerful army in the world, which has four million soldiers and thousands of tanks and advanced equipment, along with six thousand and fifty nuclear warheads, and the number of Wagner militias reaches 25 thousand at best.
Vladimir Putin has the support of the head of the Orthodox Church and all military commanders and leaders of countries such as Chechnya, Belarus, and Turkey. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has publicly declared his support for Putin because Putin supported him during the military coup against Erdogan in 2016.
