Ghost of Kiev takes another life ๐Ÿ˜”

[โ€“] [email protected] 52 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 54 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...

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 37 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 43 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."

honestly no real loss, he was a merc shithead

lets hope that this turns out well

I'll believe it when they show the body

[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

horror movie logic applies

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 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

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

He would have made a statement by now. If he's not dead he's sent off to retirement somewhere that he'll never pop up again.

[โ€“] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

This is so adorably arrogant lmao

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

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

Cue the โ€œPutin Killed Prigozjinโ€ articles and tweets. Maybe John Oliver will chime in too.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 21 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

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

I mean NATO and EU are headquartered here for a reason

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

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/

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why would this event possibly result in a civil war?

[โ€“] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (3 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.

wagner pmcs annoyed that putin just smoked there hero

[โ€“] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Pretty sure they'd kill Prigozhin themselves if their salary got doubled

Mercenaries generally don't have any alliances except to the grind ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Exactly, less heads to share the loot.

unless he had some sort of 'larger than life' charisma, i doubt it. at worse an internal struggle in wagner for the leadership position.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

wagner pmcs face when

[โ€“] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 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.
