Ghost of Kiev takes another life πŸ˜”

[–] Life2Space@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If he really is dead, then I can't say that I'm surprised; not after the adventurist stunt that he pulled off just a little while ago.

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You'd think a man in his position would not be that naive, getting into planes and stuff. Oh well...

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

It's the other people I'm curious about. If I heard he was on my plane I'd have jumped out on the runway.

After that even to go to the bathroom would be a life risk

My face when I saw the news. Never felt so neutral about someone's death.

honestly no real loss, he was a merc shithead

lets hope that this turns out well

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol its funny cuz he couldve been killed by any faction. Even other wagner members lmao.

[–] juchebot88@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude could have been remembered as a war hero. Instead he chose... whatever the past couple months were all about.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Mercenaries are only loyal to money, the way i see it he tried to hustle all sides like a good mercenary would do.

[–] relay@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

from Chapter 12 of Machiavelli's The Prince

"The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way."

the worst take i've seen so far about that was: he should have marched and died in moscow, he would have gone down in history.

what history, whos history and how?

not surprisingly was from a statunian.

[–] Beat_da_Rich@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is so adorably arrogant lmao

Nope it seems legit. This has to be the wildest coincidence or just his punishment by Russia/The West.

It's like an Agatha Christie novel where everyone has a motive.

Weird. Belgian news is reporting on this, but CNN isn't (yet)

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Nor is Al-Jazeera. What the fuck did Belgium do lmao

Edit: Article by Al-Jazeera

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Belgium is the puppetmaster who in the end holds the strings.

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I mean NATO and EU are headquartered here for a reason

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why the entire world should unite against those godless Belgians

I'll believe it when they show the body

[–] ReadFanon@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But how will they confirm that it's him when Prigozhin is such a cunning master of disguise?

[–] LinkedinLenin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

That's just age-progressed brace. The whole temporary revolt was a trueanon bit

[–] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

horror movie logic applies

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

He gets put into the coffin and putin walks to taunt his body then heturns from the dead and chokes him

In all seriousness comrades im a bit spooked about this, its a whatever event but also im worried about the real possibility of the fallout of this leading to a russian civil war, which for a country with nukes could go south and have consequences for everyone.

[–] Life2Space@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Why would this event possibly result in a civil war?

[–] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it won't, the russian internal affairs are overblown as part of western war propaganda.

people hyped too when there was the belgorod attack and the strange coup attempt with one tank and 40 dudes.

as for if he is truly dead, the hows and whys, remains to be seen, gotta wait.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where will he pop up first if he isn't dead, Niger, Kiev, or DPRK?

[–] Fissionami@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's confirmed news now that Prigozhin and Utkin is dead

[–] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

well, that settles it them, now wait for the who and why

Nah one of the oldest and most basic rules of mecenaries is "nobody fight for a dead man", even if he was really offed by FSB what will come next is just some stool shuffling and maybe new contracts.

RT reporting that he was listed on the passenger list of crashed plane and that there are no survivors https://www.rt.com/russia/581729-wagner-chief-plane/

Cue the β€œPutin Killed Prigozjin” articles and tweets. Maybe John Oliver will chime in too.

In a interview to TV in 2018, Putin said one thing is never forgivable, Betrayal

[–] dRLY@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

The article does mention that they haven't fully confirmed that he was actually on that plane. And that there was a second one also with them. Even if he was listed on the one that crashed, it is possible that it was a ruse. Wouldn't be the first time someone that is a pretty big target pulled the old switch-a-roo for their own safety. But also just possible he didn't, and is now dead. Given the situation and his very public show of hate for the leaders of the Russian military. I doubt that any answer will fully ever be considered "true" as even super simple parts to the whole conflict are all sus.
