    Hahaha.

    Also, per the BBC’s reporting:

    Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

    Surprisingly not surprising.

          If he had pushed harder and recruited along the way with huge sign up bonuses he may have been somewhat successful. He probably could have taken Moscow… but then he would eventually have to endure a siege after that, which he definitely wouldn’t have won.

        You don’t need to take the whole city, just Putin. And he didn’t have many defenses. Russia is very apathetic to who is in charge, they have been trained to uncritically support whoever looks like they’re in charge.

      This is punishment for him attempting a funni.

      He moved in towards Moscow, hoping for support from other oligarchs to materialize. It didn’t, so he had to pull back. This is the final action of that arc of failure.

      Putin’s cracking down, I doubt there will be a civil war.

        Yes and no to that. I can’t say if it is the right move for him to reduce the strength of the known conspirators, but on the other hand adding people to that group who weren’t fully comitted before.

        Civil wars generally happen because someone cracked down.

    How sure are they that he was aboard the doomed plane, on a scale from “he was checked on biometrically and multiple layers of security cameras verified that he couldn’t have disembarked” to “well, he was on the passenger manifest I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”?

      Made us believe you died once, shame on you.

      Made us believe you died twice, shame on me.

      I have a feeling there might be a bit more thorough of a check this time. You can’t really fake your death more than once and people not get suspicious if it happens again.

    This isn’t surprising (on the contrary, I was constantly surprised while Prigozhin remained alive) but I wouldn’t call Putin consolidating power good news.

      OTOH, while he’s consolidating power, he’s also cutting off the few remaining sources of information that aren’t sycophants telling him what profits them most. Luckily for him, history has shown that leaders who do this rarely if ever suffer any adverse consequences to their ability to maintain control.

      Too bad Putin and Xi weren’t on board, too. We could have had five goddamn minutes of peace and quiet.

    Get fucked you ugly bald war crime cunt. Hopefully, the jet didn’t explode but plummeted to the ground with him screaming and shitting his pants all the way.

    Cunts like him make me want to believe in hell and sin so much so I can meet him in and kill him again with my bare hands
