Former US president Donald Trump has splashed cold water on Western hopes that this week’s conflict between military contractor Wagner Group and Russia’s top generals could lead to the toppling of Moscow’s government, warning that ousting President Vladimir Putin could have unintended consequences.
“A big mess in Russia, but be careful what you wish for,” the former president said on Saturday in a Truth Social post. “Next in may be far worse!”
Trump reacted to the unrest in Russia just before news broke that Wagner founder Evgeny Prigozhin had agreed to end his rebellion and halt his group’s advance on Moscow. Under an agreement with the Kremlin, the former Putin ally will leave Russia and be spared prosecution.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky cheered the short-lived Wagner uprising, but his Western backers refrained from openly rooting for an overthrow of Putin’s government. US President Joe Biden, who has previously called for regime change in Russia, was reported to be “consulting with allies and partners” on the situation in Moscow.
Western media outlets were less restrained in touting the Wagner revolt as an existential crisis for the Russian government. Kurt Volker, former US ambassador to NATO, told CNN that the unrest marked “the end for Putin” and “the beginning of the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine.”
Trump took a shot at his successor, saying Biden would “do about Russia whatever President Xi [Jinping] of China wants him to do.” Alluding to allegations that the Biden family received bribes from business contacts with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, he suggested that the US president was beholden to Xi.
“China and Russia, until Biden came along, have always been natural enemies, with China wanting large portions of largely unpopulated Russian land to have for their much larger population,” Trump said. “This is China’s heretofore unthinkable opportunity – much bigger than Taiwan, which to President Xi can wait.” (RT)

It’s really weird rooting for Putin. The Biden administration and its policies and actions versus Putin. who seems more competent.
What’s weird is NOT rooting for Putin.
No one in their right mind would root for Biden.
Just a cohort of…

“Blackwater came under increasing criticism after the Nisour Square massacre in September 2007, in which Blackwater employees opened fire in a crowded square in Baghdad, killing 17 Iraqi civilians and seriously wounding 20 more. Three guards were convicted in October 2014 of 14 manslaughter charges, and another of murder, in a U.S. court in 2019.[23][24]
The criticism continued after president Barack Obama took office in 2009. Prince said he believes that much of this criticism stems from politics. “I put myself and my company at the CIA’s disposal for some very risky missions”, Prince told Vanity Fair for its January 2010 issue”

Thin ice ahead, Donnie boi.
I should stay more informed and watch The Simpsons again.

Strippers ‘Stunned’ after Wild Joint Visit by Hunter Biden and Ja Morant
You won’t believe what happened at an Atlanta strip club.

Atlanta — The dancers at Pandora’s Gentleman’s Club and Fine Dining say they’ve seen everything, but nothing can compare to when the entourages of President Biden’s controversial son, Hunter Biden, and Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant rolled in Friday night.
“It’s a miracle someone wasn’t shot,” marveled a private security guard, who said he hadn’t seen so many firearms since he deployed in the first Gulf War.
“It was scary,” said Jasmine, who asked to be identified only by her stage name. “They pointed guns at dancers and each other, and kept taking selfies together.”
Poor guy’s getting frisky because he can’t bang his dead brother’s widow or Chinese pre-teens anymore.
Or his step-mom Jill.
For real? Wouldn’t surprise me. I think he banged his niece.
If Jill’s face is any indication, she’s all dried out.
Hunter get’s whacked, Biden flips out, script writes itself. Maybe he will decide to turn on his handlers if we are fortunate.
Trump looks to have another fresh face. Not burnt orange but getting closer which leads me to a different rant. Not that it matters , personally I don’t get the tanning salons and home tanning equipment. To each his/her own, but geez, I’m still laughing today over the initial popularity of tanning by means other than the sun. I would see peeps that had visited tanning salons and they literally were the color of burnt orange. And this was not anywhere near Austin , Tx., home of the University of Texas. I don’t know if the burnt orange peeps had faulty equipment at home or someone made mistake at a salon and applied too much juice. Peeps may request the burnt orange look now but I don’t believe that the case as the process initially became more popular.
WT? ? Why would Mr. Trump want to look like that?
Well, Tex. At least the burnt orange may detract from the fact that he still hasn’t said anything about the “vacines” that he is so proud of.
Did he flip?
Orangey tint is usually from spray-on “tan” rather than tanning beds. The beds use the same UV the sun uses. The spray-tan is just a chemical skin stain. That’s why orange man is orange.
Explains that.
It’s important to remember though the bulbs used in tanning beds emit mostly UVA light. However, if seeking some vitamin D your body needs UVB light to make vitamin D.
On the facial color when he started doing this I recall when he resembled animals with masked eyes, reason being his face was orange but there were white circles around his eyes. Changing one’s color artificially must be “hip”? I’ve no idea.
Look at this map. Did Wagner do a head fake ?
@amuse
It’s almost like this was the plan all along? Wagner left the eastern front and is now 100km away from Kyiv.
Also expect further distractions:
SHOCK: The President of the United States has hired a criminal defense lawyer after huddling with Hunter and his lawyers all weekend at Camp David. Will the media continue to run cover for their disgraced president? Will the Democrat Party look the other way?
@amuse
Two opposing takes —
One that appears to be true based on current conditions and positions:
https://bigcountryexpat.substack.com/p/i-called-this-24-48-hours-ago
And an opposing, retarded view from the Jim Cramer of all things geopolitical and otherwise newsworthy**:
https://raconteurreport.blogspot.com/2023/06/for-people-with-half-brain.html?m=1
**If looking for investment advice, it always behooves one to look at what Cramer advises and do the opposite. Likewise, if you want to have a reasonable interpretation of world events, see Ass-sop’s opinion and believe the opposite. It’s astounding how consistently this works.
Fuck Deep Shekels and the mass of evangelical ‘tard voters, Zionists and Bolsheviks they rode to power on.
Debacle in Rostov
Warren Balogh also observes a few obvious things about the short-lived threat that a mercenary company would change sides in response to a lucrative offer:
So let me get this straight
1. Prigozhin, the leader of the mutiny, is Jewish.
2. Standing ‘directly behind him.’ according to Russian nationalist Igor Clrkn, is Sergey Kiryenko, Putin’s Deputy Chief of Staff, who also happens to be Jewish and the grandson of a highly decorated Jewish Bolshevik Cheka terrorist
3. This comes just as the big offensive is being launched from Ukraine, under the Jewish junta of Vladimir Zelensky
4. All this is happening against the backdrop of Russa building closer ties to Iran, which threatens Israel.
5. The flag of the Wagner mercenary corps Is being hoisted in Ukraine.
6. Anne Applebaum, the biggest Jewish neocon war hawk against Russia at the Atlantic, is calling this Putin’s Tzar Nicholas moment.
The whole thing smacks of desperation on the part of Clown World. I wouldn’t be even remotely surprised if Prigozhin’s disastrous attempt to switch sides was related to that $6 billion in US funds that was recently reported to have gone missing. But, in retrospect, the attempt was always doomed.

How Does Trump Maintain His Orange Glow?
Ex-convicts from one of the most brutal prison systems in the world let out of prison to torture, rape and mass murder in a political war. What could go wrong if they gain power?
