Russian invasion of Ukraine

You should be very careful then considering how much you've criticized him online.

In fact, I'd stop posting entirely if I were you, better be safe that way.

If you are an American it doesn't matter how much you criticize Putin, he will never kill you because you are not supposed to be under his sphere of influence so it's normal for you to behave like that.

Putin thinks that Ukrainians are the same race as Russians that's why they go through all this. If they suddenly turned into aliens, Putin would probably stop.

I think this is why Russia is losing so hard against the US, they set idiotic boundaries to themselves such as this and they actually.... stay committed to them, something that the west exploits. Boundaries that are related to nationalistic and culture beliefs but the reality is different.

Are Russians capable to cause coups or turn west states against other west states? I doubt they will ever achieve that, now imagine Canada becoming aggressive against the US and being supported militarily from Russia. Something like this could never happen.

Now that Prigozhin is dead the best hope is that the remaining Wagner forces (still somewhat numerically large) would freak out and cause as much mayhem and damage for revenge against Russia. That would be a win and a win.

For some reason I doubt he travels much at all outside. No chance he is getting on a plane.

Why would they? Many of them were "recruited" into Wanker against their will.

Should've gone through with the coup. Might have even lived longer that way, if he even is dead. Could just be some typical Russian hijinkery for all anyone knows.

There is still a loyal core especially in Africa and Syria and they are making sure the wagnerite telegrams are full of fire at the moment; entertaining read for certain. I only hope it translates into actions that harm Russia and their efforts, be it in small or big way.

One of them was saying those who shot down (Wagner are going with that Prig was shot down by Russian S-300 SAM) are traitors to Russia.

[Kathranis]

Really don't know what he was thinking. He might not have been able to depose Putin but his odds surviving a coup were better than this.

[Twdft]

Prigozhin's dead?

...Is it wrong to want to celebrate?

I guess the plane didn't fly itself and there was probably a flight attendent or two on board, so...

[Breccia]

Did the plane fall out of a window

Easier for me to just quote this and move on.

Apparently Peskov is still "missing" since he said Russia doesn't have a democracy, but a very expensive bureaucracy. Some russians took that as dismantling the curtain of dictatorship and became less than pleased (despite probably or hopefully knowing it never was a real democracy).

It was also said Peskov is just on a holiday and he should have been back by today.

On what was undoubtedly a plane owned and operated by Wagner? I mean yeah I guess the 3 crew were only Wagner employed dip shits rather than Wagner Mercenaries but it seems like a difference without distinction.

I'm tempted to link Clerks and the whole Death Star/roofer conversation.

[Jastall]

Unsurprising. I dunno what the guy was thinking, abandoning his coup attempt and sticking around afterwards.

[Biglog]

There's video of the crash site and it does look like a AA missile took it out. There are telltale AA missile fragment shotgun-type holes all over the airplane fuselage on the ground. Just hard to say if it was air-to-air or a SAM, but it looks like it was indeed a missile and not a bomb onboard. The video of the plane hit and coming down supports a missile strike too.

Ironic also that reportedly they were on their way to meet with Putin. It turned out more like a meeting from a Sopranos episode, the old one-way fishing trip.

[Kallisto]

What I don't get is why wouldn't he have just stayed with his boys in Africa. Sure he wouldn't be 100% safe, but he would have been a lot safer than within Putin's reach after the long drive he pulled 2 months ago.

[Shadowferal]

Sounds...fishy.

[Teriz]

You shoot at the king, you best not miss.

I’m honestly surprised he survived this long.

[Rustedsaint]

Lol prig should’ve charged all out, even if he couldn’t take Moscow he coulda died like boss blowing up the kremlin instead of dying like a rat.

[Corvus]

We'll probably never know what happened because russia is physically incapable of telling the truth.

It could just have been a crash - russian air travel isn't the safest at the best of times and now without access to spare parts it's only going to get worse. That would be a he'll of a coincidence if it was though.

[Iphie]

So...I hear wankers are angry and might just go for Coup 2.0 anyone heard more about that?

Nah the pictures show impacts on the fuselage and wings.
