Putin's warning after 'uprising'

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that those on the "path of treason" or armed rebellion will be "punished" after the head of the Wagner paramilitary group said his troops had taken control of military facilities in two Russian cities, plunging the country into crisis.

So you take criminals out of prison to let them go attack another country and they dare to be rebellious?! Never saw that coming.

I used to hear a lot about how the Soviets had the "second strongest military" in the world. As of today Russia might have the "second strongest military" in Russia.

So what he's saying is:
"If you dare to use my own methods against me, you're gonna be punished with my methods !"

It’s amazing to me that nobody has taken this guy out. Why has nobody taking this guy out and his cabinet is beyond me

A man fighting to defend his country and family will be a warrior, a man fighting for the highest bidder will be an employee.

Never interrupt your enemies when they’re making mistake.

I asked Prigozhin, he said he didn't do it. I see no reason why he would. Prigozhin said this is not a coup. This is a Special Police Operation.

No loyalty amongst thieves, so that's no surprise what happened

If you have to go on tv to show you're in control, you've just lost control.

"Don't do it again or I swear I'll get back on my private jet and run away to St Petersburg!"

[marcoswatch]

Putin talks as if he would be the one fighting

[Cisco]

He wasn't lying about the punishment

If Zelensky is a comedian, then Putin is just a clown.

[mranonymous]

if Russia starts doing these things in public then people might understand how serious the situation is

[landonletterman]

Putin: "If you turn against us, you will be punished."
Wagner: "What'cha gonna do? *BOMB US!?"*

[robertmartinez]

Somebody take out the war criminal out already!!!!

[prankster]

This is an amazing turn of events, just as Ukraine is trying an counter offensive.

Prigojin “I’m not turning back”… few hours later “I’m going back”.
Putin “they will be punished”… few hours later “you can go home or join the army”.
