Hear what ex-CIA director thinks Putin must do after rebellion

A European intelligence official told CNN there were "hints" the Russian security services or military might have had "prior knowledge" of the armed rebellion in Russia led by Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin. Ret. Gen. David Petraeus breaks down what this means for Russian President Vladimir Putin going forward. #CNN #News

If you know why he said "poked by an umbrella" you have my respect.

The best take I've heard was that this situation is like Churchill's comment on trying to understanding the workings in the Kremlin: It's like watching a bulldog fight that takes place under a carpet. That is, nobody will really know what is going on until it all shakes out.

"I DONT NEED AMMO I NEED A RIDE!!! HURRY!!!" - Vladimir Putin

I like the analogy that Russia is like a prison yard . The toughest is in charge until he isn’t the toughest. Weakness is viewed as an opportunity .

Seems too early for experts related to a government, intelligence, armed forces or similar to talk about what they really think about this.

There being an extradition treaty and being able to enforce it are 2 different things

After having successfully run the Iraqi war, Syrian war and Afghanistan Peatrus wants to advise Putin😂😂

Trump must be getting worried. His boss may be in trouble. And his exile place may just not be there for him.

Am surprised that this general didn't give his opinion to his girlfriend first

El análisis del ex director CIA es muy acertado

[AlanTheBeast]

Per some reports, Army General Surovikin is now in Lefortovo "pre-trial detention centre" (prison) - apparently knew about Prigozhin's plans.

I truly like to listen to the General, pure logical 👏🏽

[KamillGran-chsb]

Asking an ex CIA chief for advise on how to save a regime is like asking a butcher on how to save a animals!

He must show strength. And that worries me

It's almost a competing match of Idiocracy between generals that sit on their thumbs and those that don't, with FSB as referee.

[TheSateef]

i'm not expecting Prigozhin to be around too long

[johnnyfowora]

It wasn't an "escape, " Spartacus! It was a choice that Prigozhin made!

[reorioOrion]

All tactical and strategic plans are led by Dmitry Utkin (callsign "Wagner"), not Prigozhin.
Prigozhin is just a media face of Wagner and the one who is responsible for logistics (supply of weapons, etc.)
All this was stated by Prigozhin himself, personally.

That's all you need to know about the "brilliant" revelations in the course of Western investigations about how "PRIGOGINE dramatically changed plans and improvised."

David Petraeus is extremely competent
