'' Escobar On Russia's Coup-Gate: Putin Wins… On All Counts''
zerohedge.com/geopolitical/escobar-russias-coup-gate-putin-wins-all-counts
Authored by Pepe Escobar,
When the lightning of History strikes, better cut to the chase in our first draft…
Here we go.
After the extraordinary events in Russia during The Longest Day, President Putin wins on all counts.
Among other feats, he has made an absolute, intergalactic ass of the whole collective West MSM – all over again.
He rallied virtually every Russian to end the Special Military Operation (SMO) – or “almost war” (according to some business circles) quicker.
He – and the FSB – amassed a formidable list of traitors and 5th and 6th columnists, which will be properly dealt with.
And he now enjoys unlimited freedom to deploy de facto Counter-Terrorist Operation (CTO) martial law powers.
As much as Putin helped perennial Lukashenko in August 2020, preventing regime change in Belarus, good ol’ Luka prevented Russia from sliding into civil war in June 2023.
A complex wide-ranging counter-terror op is now in effect in Moscow and beyond, while assorted Western sub-zoology specimens are stunned, dazed and confused: wasn’t that supposed to be Putin meeting his Czar Nicholas II moment?
A first glance at the chessboard tells us that all the pieces seem to be falling in their right places.
Prighozin gets a golden parachute in Belarus.
Shoigu may be about to be sacked, perhaps even Gerasimov (yes, there are deeply dysfunctional layers inside the Ministry of Defense).
The Wagner musicians will be incorporated as a regular Army Corps.
They may keep doing business in Africa: demand is huge.
So what really happened after The Longest Day?
Hefty CIA funds may have changed hands. But in the end the “coup” could turn out to be the Greatest Russian Trolling of the West Ever.
The Mother of All Maskirovkas
1/
The Mother of All Maskirovkas
Once again, facts on the ground prove Putin is the undisputed champion of Russia. After keeping a strategic silence for a few hours, his intervention gathered full support from the civilian population, the FSB, the Chechens, the Army, the Communists, and everyone.
The exact terms of the deal between Luka and Prighozin, with help from the governor of the Tula region, Alexey Dyumin, are still unclear.
Prighozin said he was satisfied with the terms. Peskov confirmed on the record that a criminal case against Prigozhin would be dropped. A key Prighozin demand was the twin resignation of Defense Minister Shoigu and Chief of Staff Gerasimov. That may – or may not – happen in the immediate future.
And that brings us to the still fascinating possibility this was the Mother of All Maskirovkas. Prigozhin sets up this circus just to get a meeting in Moscow with Shoigu and Gerasimov.
Talk about an overkill just to go out on a date.
The Mother of All Maskirovkas scenario also implies a move worthy of 5D chess.
On Saturday, Wagner was 200 km away from Moscow.
Yet on Sunday, Wagner was 100 km away from Kiev.
Next level Sun Tzu Art of War, anyone?
Between sovereignty and betrayal
Alexander Dugin correctly points out how this was also an exercise in Sovereignty: “Only Sovereign Lukashenko, together with Sovereign Putin himself, confronted [Prighozin]…It turned out that many can frame the President and the people, acting in the shadows and apparently on his behalf, but saving the Fatherland in a critical situation is not their specialty.”
The corollary is that Russia needs “a sovereign elite, otherwise, everything will repeat itself.”
As for the dazed and confused collective West, especially the NATO-Kiev junta, with everyone instantly rebranding Wagner from “terrorists” to “freedom fighters”, getting bogged down in their own swamp is the art they excel in.
Mainstream media spun that the proverbial “Western officials” were “taken by surprise” by the mutiny. That depends on the amount of funds that changed hands, and in which direction, during the preparation.
The SMO, now CTO keeps rolling along. The Russian Army continues to fight, undisturbed. The “counter-offensive” remains teetering over the edge of a cliff, ready to kiss the black void.
Putin winning on all counts implies the whole civilian population – and the military – engaged in preserving him and the Russian institutions, as well as perfecting them. There’s absolutely no nation anywhere across the collective West where we find this level of citizen support.
Russian politics is a special animal. It works at the highest level and also at the grassroots level – unlike in the West, where the norm is deep hatred between the elites and the people.
Of course it should always be stressed it’s the less patriotic Russian oligarchs who run away every time something approaching The Longest Day takes place.
For a few hours, the West was betting heavily on the dismemberment of Russia. Not now. And not in the foreseeable future.
The succession is already being prepared, by Team Putin and selected patriotic oligarchs. Among the contenders, there’s a secret name that will stun everyone when it pops up. He’s still invisible in terms of public opinion and works in the shadows. His name should remain secret for the time being.
As it stands, what matters is that Russia as whole emerged even stronger out of The Longest Day. The man and woman in the street showed himself and herself, once again, as a true patriot, ready to defend the Motherland whatever it takes.
There was no confrontation between those who are pro-Russian institutions and those who are pro-Wagner. People actually support both. People regarded Wagner as the “polite green men” who helped to peacefully retake Crimea in 2014. Facing them, there was not a single policeman or military.
So Putin is stronger than ever. But everyone should always keep this in mind: the one thing he can’t forgive is betrayal.

'' Tucker Carlson Dares To Ask "Why Exactly Are We At War With Russia?" ''
zerohedge.com/political/tucker-carlson-dares-ask-why-exactly-are-we-war-russia
"Why exactly are we at war with Russia?"
''Those are the verboten words that Tucker Carlson utters at the start of Episode 7 Of his Tucker on Twitter series where he highlights the irony that the so-called 'war for democracy' is actually enabling dictatorship and tyranny.''
With nuclear extinction a possibility and 1000s of lives and billions of dollars already wasted, "what's the point" he asks, "are we really doing this so that the Biden family can repay its debts to the oligarchs that financed their beach house."
"Thankfully" the former Fox News star explains, "we have an answer."
"The war against Putin and for Ukraine is in fact a war for democracy."
Sounds familiar?
"Democracy must prevail" exclaims Nancy Pelosi as Carlson offers bipartisan examples of warmongers pushing for 'democracy' and all the military-industrial complex enrichment that comes with it.
Carlson further mocks the rhetoric surrounding the war as a fight for democracy, highlighting the irony of supporting Ukrainian President Zelensky, who suspended democracy in his own country.
"We are currently fighting a war for democracy on behalf of a leader who just casually announced he's happy to end democracy and our democracy and supporting leaders have no problem with that"
In fact, the Biden administration's continual support for Ukraine despite Zelensky's disregard for democracy, implies that their motives are questionable.
He argues that during wartime, politicians become powerful and can justify any action, including silencing political opponents, leading to a potential erosion of democracy.
Carlson suggests that those in Washington, including Republicans, support Biden's stance on Ukraine because ending the war would threaten their power.
He concludes by speculating on the future of Joe Biden, pointing out his age-related decline and potential implications for the Democratic Party, suggesting that Gavin Newsom may be a potential successor.

Today we are up to Episode 7 of Tucker on Twitter and this time he talks about whether the war in Ukraine is a war for democracy. So, without further ado, here you go:
Ep. 7 Irony Alert: the war for democracy enables dictatorship. pic.twitter.com/tk7aOZ4H6n
— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) June 28, 2023
As we said last time, we see several stories with his show. First, there is the content of the show—and tonight is kind of a doozy. Second, we find the media story of whether or not he can build out a show challenging the old MSM paradigm fascinating. Finally, there is the media story of Carlson versus Fox News, although their inaction at this point is making it less and less interesting.
As with last time, it’s worth discussing the views for each. Naturally, the older the show, the more time it has to accumulate views, but here’s what they are showing as of this writing:
Episode 1: 119 million views.
Episode 2: 60.1 million views.
Episode 3: 103 million views.
Episode 4: 31.8 million views.
Episode 5: 16.3 million views.
Episode 6: 28.8 million views.
Last time we noted that Episode 5 had seen a huge dip in views. After we wrote that, Dom Lucre claimed that this was the result of suppression of some kind, but we have not been able to get an explanation as to how or why, so take that however you want. Still, there is no question that the 16.8 million views is pretty abnormally low, which is suspicious.
And as you can see, the show also aired very late, at 8:52 p.m. (Eastern time). Make of that what you will, except he hasn’t decided to make the show air regularly at a particular time.
As for the show itself, we admit we were shocked at Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggesting Ukraine won’t have elections in wartime. That was news to us. While it is true that most wartime American presidents did overstep their powers during their respective wars, we have never suspended elections because of war. At most, during the Civil War, there was no attempt to hold United States elections in Confederate territories and we would not fault Zelenskyy for not holding elections in territories currently occupied by the Russians, but he should have as much of an election as possible. Lincoln stood for election despite being convinced he would lose in 1864. If Zelenskyy can’t hold an election and the Ukrainian people let him get away with suspending it, then that is the end of this author's support for Ukraine, because at that point, it is simply one autocrat versus another. As it is, his violations of freedom of expression and freedom of religion in his country has seriously undermined any claim that they are fighting for democracy. You cannot have free elections without freedom of conscience.
And it is also interesting that Carlson strongly implied that the next election in America was going to be rigged—in the sense that the voting machines cannot be trusted to accurately record the wishes of the people. Wholly apart from whether or not you might agree, sources indicate that Carlson’s show was taken off of the air on Fox News as part of their massive settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. If that is true, will Dominion now sue him? Will they demand that Fox News do something about him? There’s no way to predict what will happen, obviously, but we see many interesting possibilities.
Naturally reactions were strong. But please, dear reader, don't assume we agree with any or all of the opinions being expressed in any tweet quoted here. The only view expressed is we find these tweets interesting, for a number of reasons.
Tucker who supports the genocide of the Ukrainian people, says that 🇺🇦is not a democracy because they suspended election until the war ends as their constitution doesn't allow to have election during a war
Was Britain not a democracy when they suspended elections during WWII?
— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) June 28, 2023
England has never been a democracy, truthfully. And their suspension of elections is not behavior we should emulate or tolerate in Ukraine.

This is the most important monologue so far.
The suspension of an election. I’ve said since Biden got in, and the Ukraine talk started that the left will use this to lock society down and cancel the next election.
It seemed so far fetched, but not a single media outlet has even…

In this episode Tucker Carlson calls out the suspension of Democracy by the Democrat's savior, Zelensky.
FOX news had to try to shut this man down, because he's the only one telling the truth about all of these people.
This has always been a war between 2 dictators caused by… https://t.co/lZsXXQBREA

I have "threat to our democracy" fatigue. The U.S. has never been a democracy, if it ever were to be one, it'd mean the end of the United States.
We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
Always were, always will be. https://t.co/1IHsNox0CO
— Youaremeaningless (@Fight_Loxism) June 28, 2023
This is a distinction that literally goes back to the Federalist Papers, but honestly, we tend to think of it this way. In their actual roots, the words ‘republic’ and ‘democracy’ are almost synonymous. And it has always been accurate to refer to America as a ‘constitutional representative democracy’ rather than a direct democracy. So, we don’t fret over the term ‘democracy.’

Assuming we are right about it being fake, we admit it is pretty good. For those who don’t recognize it, this is pretty much the speech Morpheus gives to Neo in The Matrix, as some of the iconic music from that movie plays in the background.

Question? Gavin and Kamla are both from California correct? Doesn’t that mean she CAN’T be his VP pick.. convenient?

That would be what we call ‘a silver lining.’

Tucker mentions @GonzaloLira1968 who's an American citizen being indefinitely held captive by the Zelensky regime; Biden admin is not negotiating his release since he doesn't fit the political narrative.
Zelensky is a dictator and Biden is a coward. https://t.co/CX3hQzxwzZ

"Your country has electronic voting machines. Biden got 81m votes in 2020…and you're pretty sure he can do it again. In fact you know he can. You're not worried."
First time Tucker hits the heart of the 2020 election fraud, that the votes themselves are fake, that directly. https://t.co/ZgCO4VujmX

We tend to agree. Whether you agree with everything Carlson is saying or not, we prefer open discussion.
