From early Friday morning to Saturday afternoon, when the private paramilitary mercenary company Wagner PMC, commanded by the folkloric former hotdog vendor Prighozin, was only 200 kilometers from Moscow, the most dramatic statements came from the vice-president of the Council of Security Dmitry Medvedev, who warned that it was a large-scale and well-articulated operation that put the capture of tactical nuclear weapons at risk (https://bit.ly/3PAG8Uy).
It is unknown if such dramatic assertion was real or if Medvedev did it to increase the danger and thus deal a severe blow to the ephemeral mutiny, since Pavel Podvig, director of the Russian Nuclear Forces Project, affirmed that such an apocalyptic possibility was “virtually impossible (https://bit.ly/43gpaOJ)”.
What does not lend itself to conjectures or equivocation is the official position of China that endorsed its inalienable support for the Putin government, which is equivalent to the consolidation of the project of the new multipolar order and the alliance unlimited
of the G-2 that does not dare to pronounce its name between Russia and China.
From the point of view of the strategic stability
Among the three greatest powers on the planet – the US, Russia and China – the most salvageable from the ephemeral mutiny with its tenants et aboutissants (pros and cons) is the G-2 between Russia and China (https://bit.ly/43Z4oEp).
Global Times (GT), the unofficial spokesman for the Chinese Communist Party, states that “China supports and believes that Russia will maintain national stability (https://bit.ly/44bwqw2)”.
The newspaper rejects the deliberate catastrophizing of the West on the fragility of the Putin administration
reaching up to use the incident to call into question China-Russia relations
. Obvious: what matters most to the Anglosphere is to fracture the new G-2 of multipolarity.
Mao Ning, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, stated that Russia is a friendly neighbor and a strategic partner (megasic!) in coordinating the new era (sic)
. Global Times scoffs that the incident happened and ended so quickly and long before some western officials knew what was going on
and now they are confined to question authority
of Putin, asecho of their usual narratives to inveigh against the Russian government
. The newspaper exposes the position of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who asserted that the challenge of Wagner PMC exposed the new cracks
in the strength of Putin’s leadership that may take weeks (sic) or months to materialize, which will affect Moscow’s military capabilities in Ukraine.
Global Times denies that the mutiny damages Russia’s relationship with China, which is also rejected by Chinese experts who criticize that such The Western interpretation aims to amplify some of Russia’s internal problems in order to further weaken it and cause damage to the military morale of its soldiers, as part of the cognitive war (sic) launched by the US against Russia.
. Global Times points to the boast of several US media outlets claiming to have known in advance about the preparations for the Prigozhin revolt (https://nyti.ms/44by4Oe) and adds that Lavrov stated that Russia investigates whether Western spy services were involved
in the riot
Incidentally, the involvement of the Western secret services, primarily the CIA and the British MI6, has been pointed out by the former Indian diplomat Bhadrakumar (https://bit.ly/3PxE7so).
In the same vein, the Serbian president, Aleksandar Vučić, asserted that “foreign espionage is behind the failed coup by Wagner PMC (https://bit.ly/3NqMdjW)”.
Hispan TV accuses that the Israeli Mossad participated in the attempt to overthrow Putin (https://bit.ly/3raMlw8).
The vigor with which Biden has rejected having interfered in the internal affairs of Russia (https://bit.ly/43Z41tv). Now he needs to be believed by Putin and Xi.
