 J'Accuse on Sunday 25 June on the attempted coup by Prigozhin's Wagner: the road to escalation has begun

Evghenij Prigozhin an unpronounceable name but which has touched in the enterprise and in the fame those of Napoleon and Hitler who failed together, in their respective enterprises of the conquest of Moscow. But who is this fanatic and grim character? Would he have done and planned everything ? He has done as he says to impose himself on the Russian Defense Ministry Decree that will dissolve the Wagner militia by incorporating it into the army starting July 1, 2023?

Friend, nicknamed "Putin's cook" to whom he owes all his fame and fortune, is the head of Wagner: a super militia present in all theaters of conflict in the Middle East and Africa, in the same way as the companies of mercenary contractors they use the Americans, French and British to destabilize enemy regimes and achieve their political goals. He enjoyed the trust of the Head of the Kremlin and enjoys a wide autonomy to the point of managing an army himself within the Russian state. from here we understand the reason for the decree that dissolves his Wagner. Putin claimed that the state gave Wagner over one 17,5 billion euros, which were never reported. This position allowed him to have visibility and authority in the conduct of military operations and tactics adopted by the Russian Defense General Staff, directed by Defense Minister Shoigu and General Valery Gerasimov.

After the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Putin's cook Yevgeny Prigozhin and his fighters were called home to lend a hand to the Russian army which found itself in great difficulty confronted not only against the insignificant Ukrainian army, but against the more modern weapons and guerrillas who have come from all over to support the Kiev regime in a war of attrition whose main and indirect aim is to bring down Putin's regime. Although the Ukrainian cake is tempting to all Westerners for its mineral and agricultural wealth and its strategic position, the development of the military confrontation and the persistence of the Western Chancelleries denotes an unequivocal fact that the war in Ukraine and its continuation have a fundamental objective: the fall of Putin and the destabilization of Russia. Now what we saw yesterday with the cook's backstabbing of his patron forces us to ask a natural question: what did this crazy Prigozhin fanatic want to do and what were his goals and instigators? It is paradoxical and counterproductive for someone who considers himself patriotic to leave the front and direct his weapons against the political power, already knowing his move would have caused immeasurable damage to his country and to the same political line undertaken so far. If the disagreements with Shoigu and Gerasimov were, as emerges from his requests and the mentioned decree, they could be reconciled with dialogue and other non-detrimental methods. In reality, during his journey towards Moscow on the famous M4 motorway, in those frenetic and decisive hours for the fate of Moscow, the Cook realized that he did not have enough fire to cook his dishesì ; how did 25,000 guerrillas conquer a metropolis than 20 million inhabitants? If someone has mediated, like the Belarusian president Lukashenko, he has told him clearly: Putin's fall cannot be accepted, because not only the Russians would have prevented it, but also close allies and China itself and therefore its mercenaries would make a fire that would be seen as far away as western capitals. At 200 kilometers the tired and disillusioned cook raised the white flag but nobody can dare to know the scenarios of this surrender in detail. It may even have been Xi who secretly telephoned him to tell him that he would send troops to exterminate his militia: an imaginary but plausible scenario. The speech of the Belarusian president was enlightening, in any case. The question remains as to why? Why did the cook sacrifice himself like the devil's lamb? Did the CIA promise him anything if he kicked Putin out of Moscow? Was it personal ambition as Putin claimed? He sure he is a madman exalted but also a servant of Russia, until proven otherwise. The analysis of military operations is another point of contention: the large losses accused by Prigozhin are unacceptable. In this he has drawn his legitimacy and popularity among his fighters: how can Russia accept to wage an exhausting war for such a long time, moreover against all the Western armies, seeing tens of thousands of its best sons die, without thinking to the exit and final victory strategy? In this context, the analysis of both the war and the failed coup lead us to observe a very clear fact: if the current conduct of the war has not given the expected results, it is necessary to change objectives and fronts and the means of warfare themselves. The fate of both Russia itself and international peace itself depends on it. Putin has little time left to turn up the tension and stop the war. The war will stop only when the point is reached.
