Was this entire episode staged? Did I hear tactical nukes were moved to Belarus a week or two ago? I think I heard on news earlier this evening that Prigozhin is now on his way to Belarus. Setting up plaudible deniability?

The real question is why did he just decide to abandon his cause? Did Putin offer him money? Tell him he would face the wrath of the Russian government? Is he even alive right now? So many questions.

If Trump were in office all GMA, would talk about is the upcoming nuclear war!

The Wagner Group is a private Russian paramilitary unit of mercenaries = No Different From " BLACK ROCK " !!!
