U.S. 'Expected More Bloodshed' From Mutiny, Says Report | Biden Banking On Wagner To Beat Putin?

The U.S. reportedly anticipated stronger resistance during the aborted coup in Russia. According to a CNN report, Washington expected "a lot more bloodshed from the Wagner mutiny." The U.S. was predicting it to be quite violent and bloody. The report has raised eyebrows and seems to prove Vladimir Putin's charge right. Putin accused the West of wanting Russians "to kill each other" in a coup attempt. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin managed to deal with the issue quite calmly and swiftly. Putin said that he let the mutiny continue to avoid bloodshed.
