He thought that he'd get away with his little stunt, so he couldn't have been the sharpest spoon in the drawer.
Russia might be incompetent, but they have a history of killing people that have wronged them, and they don't care that you know they did it.
Putin might be leading his country to ruin in an absolutely gay war but the man is completely unrivalled when it comes to cleaning house to consolidate his power. We're talking about a guy who killed hundreds of his own people by bombing apartment buildings so that he could scare the country into a second war with the Chechens and drum up support for his presidential run. Not to mention the hundreds of people he's assassinated before Prigozhin. I have no idea how a man who was in Putin's inner circle and saw how he operated for decades couldn't have seen this coming.
>We're talking about a guy who killed hundreds of his own so that he could scare the country into a war
haha oh wow that's crazy. good thing something like that could only happen in a communist shithole.
Prigozhin thought he was giving Putin an off-ramp with his mutiny. He didn't start out blasting Putin, he was all but telling Putin publicly "Let's just throw Shoigu (and Gerasimov) under the bus for this whole thing, and end this war which clearly hasn't gone as planned, while salvaging your reputation." Putin didn't take the offer, because he's either in an info-bubble or just a delusional retard and thinks he can still win.
Putin said he there is one thing he absolutely can't forgive and that one thing is treason
Even though Prigo didn't want to get rid of Putin he still rebelled and that's probably something Putin couldn't forgive
seems like the retard genuinely believed he got away with it. Looking back its obvious the moment his crew went to Belarus and did not immediately GTFO to africa to never come back. Out there the Kremlins tentacles are much weaker then near its black heart of muscovia
He's a fucking liability. He's dead, Putin would never risk this retard resurface online after his "death". Put yourself in Putin's shoes and consider if letting him live after you "killed" him is a good move.
He thought that he'd get away with his little stunt, so he couldn't have been the sharpest spoon in the drawer.

Because he is alive. This was another stunt.
I swear to God that I saw Prigozhin two days ago in Nana Plaza in Bangkok. He wasn't even wearing one of his wigs.
It's a bit weird that both him AND his right hand man were in the same aircraft. I wonder if Putin, as part of the deal, said 'Okay you can fuck off, but I get to 'kill' you'. But the fact Wagner is now telling people online whenever Russia goes >KHOKOLS DESTROYED GORILLION TANKS LIQUIDATED
they go >We attacked. We got rekt. We ran away.
So even their propaganda is getting countered by their own forces.
I still hope he is alive and does it again. But I am 99% sure he is dead. 1% chance he is living in Africa with harem of women. If mysterious Priggy looking kids turn up.....
Implying Putin would let this big mouthed unhinged retard spend the rest of his life in a mountain villa and risk him appearing in public again and pulling a Jesus move.
They were dead before they got on the plane.
I wouldn't put money on it, but it is POSSIBLE that the aircraft malfunctioned due to poor / no maintenance, drunk pilot, older tech lacking safety features etc. Do we think that the red army choir were taken out (by the state) when most of them died in that plane crash?
anon the wing came off in the footage available with burning trail coming out of it. What everyone familiar with airframe construction will tell you is that the wings are strongest part of any air hull. Literally the last to come off from mechanical failure. Burning trail just indicated the fuel tanks in the wings were ruptured and on fire. Before the flight attendant commented on her social media on how there were unusual repairs done on the plane before departure
FSB/GRU gangsters planted explosives into the wings. Completely in line with their usual MO like when they bombed the moscow apartment buildings back during the rise of monke
>Literally the last to come off from mechanical failure.
To be fair.... it's been known to happen with some designs, but I think only bombers/water tankers that ridiculusly stress out the wing root.
I do find humorous the idea that it was just mechanical failure and now Putin is facepalming because he has to play into it.
There were zero known incidents with that model before Priggo didn't fly so good. None. I'm not saying this couldn't have been the first one, but the signs point in the "this wasn't a techincal error" direction.
As a Pole I keked.
I truly believe want to believe that was Putin but it was on shitty gov officials who wanted to win elections.
I mean they had incident with same pilots a few months earlier in Georgia where pilot refused to land. He was insta demoted because he didn't want to get hit by russian AA
After all you have seen in Ukraine and now Priggo getting whacked don't you think ziggers would be capable of doing it? It was in their interest for sure.
I still laughed, but that was the fault of Kaczyński and his cult of personality, funnily enough at the time there was a huge circus about who's worthy enough to fly together with His Retarded Majesty (despite such details as the chief commanders of different armed forces branches being expressly forbidden to travel together SPECIFICALLY TO AVOID RISKING THIS SHIT), and no pilot dared to go against his demands to ignore safety rules after what he killed the career of the pilot that did it earlier in Georgia).
TL;DR: Duck was retarded and got what he deserved.
Also, the best argument for that crash not being Russians was that we literally had our armed forces decapitated and it was the best time to invade ever, if it were a planned assassination we'd have a Crimea-style green men in Podlasie within 48h.

Goddamn shame, I guess it makes sense given its history that Russia has such a strong arm centralization but it would be so kino if russia had free guns laws and culture. Sure not all of it is the greatest but them russians have created some cool ass guns.
It's the flag of the Russian Communist Party, which has seats in the Duma and has had for years. They are mostly irrelevant and controlled by the FSB. They support United Russia on every important issue and just serve as a way to get old USSR loving pensioners to feel like there is hope for its return. In reality the Russian leadership never want a return to that because they made billions off of the privatization that followed the dissolution.
>Putin and friends care more about keeping power than losing the war.
Here’s the catch, if they lose the war, they lose power.
If Putin had ordered a nationwide ceasefire after the retreat from Kiev and offered the Ukrainians status quo antebellum in exchange for permanently ceding Crimea and other territories they had already lost prior to the death invasion, then all of this could have been swept under the rug as a “wow that happened” moment and we would have all gone back to not caring about Ukraine. But at this point, it’s ride or die. He’s gambled everything on this war and he has to win or he’s liable to die in a basement in Yekaterinburg.
Call me paranoid but I think if backed into a corner, the man has become so consumed by narcissism that he will fire what’s left of Russia’s nuclear arsenal at NATO as one last middle finger. If can’t win, nobody else will either.
I am going to stay positive and believe that there are still some russhits with doubts within his circle who might not be able to stop the conventional war, but are able and willing to put a bullet through the geriatric's head if he seriously starts to consider nuking NATO
Not if we nook those fuckers first.
There have been enough threats to make this "justified". I bet those pidors have drunk all the nuclear fuel anyway.
nah, the priggy mutiny showed us that when backed into a corner in Ukraine, Bunkergrandad doesnt nuke he turns to himself.
The whole "they must win or lose power" is bs Russians are so buckbroken they will see the loss and go "well if he decided to withdraw, that's what had to be done, he knows best, can we go back to selling oil now?" and go on with life.
Putin wasn't exactly backed into a corner during the Wagner Mutiny. If anything, Prigozhin was.
Just because the road to Moscow was open, doesn't mean that Prigozhin was going to be able to take and hold it. Wagner was less than 10,000 strong and Rosgvardia has over a quarter of a million men under arms. That's not even counting the conventional Russian Army. Even a relatively minor delaying action fought by the Moscow police could have allowed Putin the breathing room to fly in sufficient troops from other parts of Russia to put down the uprising.
There was chatter about the possibility of Preggo controlling part of the nuclear arsenal, he passed very close a base on his way to Moscow.
You also need to consider that this would have been way closer, not all forces were going to fight on Putin's side, specially after starting a war like Ukraine's.
Still Putin managed to weaponize patriotism in such a way that any attack against him is an attack against Russia, which is unacceptable for people like Pringles.
I wonder what he did in the short remaining time he probably knew he had after he stopped the march. Get drunk, fuck some whores, eat some good meals? He must have knew in the back of his mind he wouldn't last past the end of the year
You're looking at this the wrong way.
Don't assume that the Russian state is one faction, assume that Putin, Prigozhin, etc. etc. are separate factions. It's just removing an enemy. If any Russian general/oligarch/silovik has to choose between Russia becoming an unrecoverable shithole way worse than it already is, and Russian golden age + getting kicked out of a window, they'll 100% choose the former.

Being at peace with it would imply they understand the full picture and have chosen to accept it warts and all, but Russians are some of the most historically illiterate people on earth. They don't know what those flags mean. To them they're just the other Russian flags and Russia is #1 so other flags #1 too.

My own uneducated opinion is its a consequence of the current crisis of purpose. You see the same shit in the west, people are clamoring for anything that will give them purpose in the current era of nothingness. Right now there is ideological schizophrenia but i think there will be a synthesis eventually. Who knows what will come out of it though, things never quite turn out how we expect them to and new technologies are always an x factor.

Its called dialectics and the USSR was intentionally meant to be a synthesis of what came before (the RU empire) with what came against it (Bolshevism). This was to be a transition stage to lead into the next "phase" that would be a new, form without the remains of the RU empire: actual communism. But that didn't happen because its fucking ridiculous. Communist China is also meant to be a synthesis, with Xi now today trying to create a synthesis of Mao with Deng's reformed China.
Basically in theory its the thesis coming into conflict with the antithesis and the logic following into both merging into a synthesis german 19th century autism Hegel, Marx, Engels, blah blah blah in practice its this:

I disagree that it was intentional, the synthesis is what organically emerged out of the struggle of both bolshevism and Tsarism. which is what i believe is happening worldwide as we speak, especially with the advent of the internet the synthesis that forms might be a real surprise.
However it can be intentionally formed or forced as you have said that Xi is attempting to do. time will tell how successful he will be.

I think Xi is failing if he’s trying to bring back Maoist pre-reform style thinking and governing. I don’t think he’s trying that at all tbqh. I think the most obvious turns under Xi have been >increased personal power >decoupling >increased nationalism of the population >increased militarisation of the state >increased state powers over industry >a less flexible and fluid government in terms of policy >big foreign policy shakeups, walking loudly where they used to walk softly, etc
I honestly think he has more in common with Chiang Kai-shek than Mao, except Chiang had much less personal authority and was more retarded

>Didn't Wagner do a majority of the real heavy lifting during the war?
That may be how the media spins it but as always the real factor is artillery. Vaginakeks were a boogeyman for the media and Putin played it up but now they're gone and forgotten. No rebellion, no revenge for prickys death, vaginakeks get nothing.
>since they are already clearly losing the war
And that's the reason. You don't need heavily trained and battle hardened jarheads back home when the war is lost.
Most of Russian forces are not Wagner (duhhhh). BUTTT post early zerg rush, Wagner proves to be the only Russian force capable of conducting offensive operations "effectively". Them being out of the war just means Russia 100% has completely lose any strategic initiative. Bakhmut is Russian operation Citadel, and its like if Hitler do a Night of the Long Knives purge style against the Wafen-SS after Kursk.
Wagner was gaining ground while Surovikin was in charge, when by all accounts they were getting far more fire support and priority of resources than any of the Russian army regulars, often directly at the expense of the regular army. When Surovikin was replaced, suddenly Wagner became completely ineffectual as a fighting force. There were certainly veteran troops within Wagner's ranks. The organization took pains to retain veterans by using prisoners as disposably as possible. That strategy however never paid off. Wagner could barely take a town right next to the pre-invasion border, even with a blank check from their general. If they were folded into the regular army or simply retained while only receiving nominal support, there's no reason to think they would perform any better than other units.
A opposed to the RuAF that conduct failed mechanized assaults with 0 wins? Svieredonetsk is the only win RuAF had post mariupol and that is only because wagner took popasna. Maybe, just maybe the most competent officers that understand how to c&c and offensive at the operational level belongs to wagner. That movie best in hell gives me the impression, compare that to the winter offensive.
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had corruption, we had nepotism, we had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork! You could have shut your mouth, undermined the west, and made as much money as you ever needed! It was perfect! But no! You just had to blow it up! You, and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man! If you’d done your job and known your place, we'd all be fine right now!
Why did he get on the plane with all his top leaders is he genuinely retarded

He's a spoon with a hole in it.
Prighozin, by his own admission and words, "was freaking out" and went insane. So there's that.

You forget that Prighozin also killed hundreds of people personally.

This. Nobody fucking does that, especially not after the Smolensk plane crash in 2010.
or mayabe he was just retarded that day
they were already dead before the plane takes off
Crashing his plane with no survivors a part of his master plan
It was very painful.
Because he is alive. This was another stunt.
I swear to God that I saw Prigozhin two days ago in Nana Plaza in Bangkok. He wasn't even wearing one of his wigs.
Did you ask for an autograph?
a prigozhin just flew over my house!
Putin probably told them if they don’t get on that plane their families will get spontaneously combusted.
>is he genuinely retarded
Yes. He was really that retarded. He actually thought that Putin would honor his word.
They expect ALL of us in the wreckage, pidor!
Because contrary to what 4chan and others will tell you, most people, especially those in power, aren't as smart as they'd have believe.

The whole "they must win or lose power" is bs Russians are so buckbroken they will see the loss and go "well if he decided to withdraw, that's what had to be done, he knows best, can we go back to selling oil now?" and go on with life.
Putin wasn't exactly backed into a corner during the Wagner Mutiny. If anything, Prigozhin was.
Just because the road to Moscow was open, doesn't mean that Prigozhin was going to be able to take and hold it. Wagner was less than 10,000 strong and Rosgvardia has over a quarter of a million men under arms. That's not even counting the conventional Russian Army. Even a relatively minor delaying action fought by the Moscow police could have allowed Putin the breathing room to fly in sufficient troops from other parts of Russia to put down the uprising.
There was chatter about the possibility of Preggo controlling part of the nuclear arsenal, he passed very close a base on his way to Moscow.
You also need to consider that this would have been way closer, not all forces were going to fight on Putin's side, specially after starting a war like Ukraine's.
Still Putin managed to weaponize patriotism in such a way that any attack against him is an attack against Russia, which is unacceptable for people like Pringles.
I wonder what he did in the short remaining time he probably knew he had after he stopped the march. Get drunk, fuck some whores, eat some good meals? He must have knew in the back of his mind he wouldn't last past the end of the year
You're looking at this the wrong way.
Don't assume that the Russian state is one faction, assume that Putin, Prigozhin, etc. etc. are separate factions. It's just removing an enemy. If any Russian general/oligarch/silovik has to choose between Russia becoming an unrecoverable shithole way worse than it already is, and Russian golden age + getting kicked out of a window, they'll 100% choose the former.
Russian propagandists are afraid about Surovikin life. West wants his dead. Guess who's gonna fall three times from 9th floor
Who will be next, Surovniggy, or Girky?
Pickles hand is literally rotting off
But we have heard squat from armageddon (but he's alive bros, trust us, just house arrest till forgotten)

What happened to cucumbers hand?
His wife and lawyer started to see the effects of Russia on a man.
Supposedly he's gotten a doctor since then, supposedly.
idk if i can handle both of my favorite antagonists in slavic legend of the galactic heroes dying at the same time. i am going to kill vladimir putin in minecraft and delete his sims 4 characters if he kills my boy igor.
Ministroke and no treatment, according to the wife
>Pickles hand is literally rotting off
Someone has access to him? I only read his posts on PrepHole, I can only tolerate 4chan in tiny, seldom administered doses
Girky seems a more obvious target. They are really going hard after the "warblog influencers"
Isn't Solovyov a guy who likes to say "in Stalin's day....?" Better watch out.

Russians love the Stalin days, anon.
Any gay who says "gulags aren't so bad" is exactly the type of gay who would get worked to death in a gulag. As retarded as any breadtuber.
I'm pretty sure that's actually Vaush on the left.
Obviously not, Vaush is much more fat and hairy.
the level of cognitive dissonance schizoism on display is just something else
also new flaggotry pic dropped. Pringles last big shit posts
>Imperial Russian and Soviet flags
Never understood why or even how someone would collate the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union when they were opposites.
It's basically the same as flying the flag of a country at a privately set up memorial to a rebel who rebelled against said country.
They're both times that Russia was perceived to be stronk, and that's all that matters.
to this days civil war divided russian patriots into two divisions who hate each other, the state does everything to unite them
Reject Humanity
Return to Monke
I interpret those flags as Ruskies being at peace with their history.
Being at peace with it would imply they understand the full picture and have chosen to accept it warts and all, but Russians are some of the most historically illiterate people on earth. They don't know what those flags mean. To them they're just the other Russian flags and Russia is #1 so other flags #1 too.
tears of the sun remake looking good
for once the nigflix adaptations will be accurate
My own uneducated opinion is its a consequence of the current crisis of purpose. You see the same shit in the west, people are clamoring for anything that will give them purpose in the current era of nothingness. Right now there is ideological schizophrenia but i think there will be a synthesis eventually. Who knows what will come out of it though, things never quite turn out how we expect them to and new technologies are always an x factor.
Because the supposedly "underlying" ideology in Russia is always just a surface level mask moron-rigged onto the previously existing amalgamation of Russianness. There isn't really a difference but colour between the Soviet Union and the Tsarist Empire. It's all just Russianness.
Conservatives do not think in objective terms and can be easily duped into thinking that *anything* applies to them relatively. All you need to say is, "X is good and X applies to YOU!" and they will all mindlessly start circling around X.
Its all the same shizo Russmorony shit.
Its called dialectics and the USSR was intentionally meant to be a synthesis of what came before (the RU empire) with what came against it (Bolshevism). This was to be a transition stage to lead into the next "phase" that would be a new, form without the remains of the RU empire: actual communism. But that didn't happen because its fucking ridiculous. Communist China is also meant to be a synthesis, with Xi now today trying to create a synthesis of Mao with Deng's reformed China.
Basically in theory its the thesis coming into conflict with the antithesis and the logic following into both merging into a synthesis german 19th century autism Hegel, Marx, Engels, blah blah blah in practice its this:
He looked so healthy in here. What happened, bros?

In short its called DOUBLETHINK, anon.

>the USSR was intentionally meant to be a synthesis of what came before
I disagree that it was intentional, the synthesis is what organically emerged out of the struggle of both bolshevism and Tsarism. which is what i believe is happening worldwide as we speak, especially with the advent of the internet the synthesis that forms might be a real surprise.
However it can be intentionally formed or forced as you have said that Xi is attempting to do. time will tell how successful he will be.
I think Xi is failing if he’s trying to bring back Maoist pre-reform style thinking and governing. I don’t think he’s trying that at all tbqh. I think the most obvious turns under Xi have been
>increased personal power
>decoupling
>increased nationalism of the population
>increased militarisation of the state
>increased state powers over industry
>a less flexible and fluid government in terms of policy
>big foreign policy shakeups, walking loudly where they used to walk softly, etc
I honestly think he has more in common with Chiang Kai-shek than Mao, except Chiang had much less personal authority and was more retarded
>Never understood why or even how someone would collate the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union when they were opposites.
It's the same shit just with different aesthetics.
Please tell me that he wasn't blessing a monument to Stalin.
your eyes were not deceiving you. the audio version is even more cringe funny. The priest stated that yeah, stalin killed a lot of clergy with the gulags but on the upside he created a lot of saints for the muscovia orthodox church
These are the people I'm supposed to believe are the saviors of Orthodoxy? Chrysostom weeps.
Goes to show you that the Russian Orthodoxy is a heretic sect.
Moscow is a KGB stooge. Constantinople is a CIA stooge. Fuck it, I'm OCA. I don't have to deal with that clownshow.
Throw that fat söyböi in a gulag and see how long (s)he survives.
>Didn't Wagner do a majority of the real heavy lifting during the war?
Absolutely not. The convictnics were useful meatshield when priggy was mass recruiting from prisons, but not more than that.
Reigning champion of the Russian Freefall in Free style category for the 2023 season with a score of over 9000 meters, it's mister yevgen Prick goshin himself
>Didn't Wagner do a majority of the real heavy lifting during the war?
That may be how the media spins it but as always the real factor is artillery. Vaginakeks were a boogeyman for the media and Putin played it up but now they're gone and forgotten. No rebellion, no revenge for prickys death, vaginakeks get nothing.
They were only the heavy lifting in Bakhmut.
I think they did some earlier heavy lifting for Popasna too
>since they are already clearly losing the war
And that's the reason. You don't need heavily trained and battle hardened jarheads back home when the war is lost.
Wagner was dead the moment Putin saw civvies greet them as heroes.
Most of Russian forces are not Wagner (duhhhh). BUTTT post early zerg rush, Wagner proves to be the only Russian force capable of conducting offensive operations "effectively". Them being out of the war just means Russia 100% has completely lose any strategic initiative. Bakhmut is Russian operation Citadel, and its like if Hitler do a Night of the Long Knives purge style against the Wafen-SS after Kursk.
Wagner was gaining ground while Surovikin was in charge, when by all accounts they were getting far more fire support and priority of resources than any of the Russian army regulars, often directly at the expense of the regular army. When Surovikin was replaced, suddenly Wagner became completely ineffectual as a fighting force. There were certainly veteran troops within Wagner's ranks. The organization took pains to retain veterans by using prisoners as disposably as possible. That strategy however never paid off. Wagner could barely take a town right next to the pre-invasion border, even with a blank check from their general. If they were folded into the regular army or simply retained while only receiving nominal support, there's no reason to think they would perform any better than other units.
A opposed to the RuAF that conduct failed mechanized assaults with 0 wins? Svieredonetsk is the only win RuAF had post mariupol and that is only because wagner took popasna. Maybe, just maybe the most competent officers that understand how to c&c and offensive at the operational level belongs to wagner. That movie best in hell gives me the impression, compare that to the winter offensive.
>this whole wagner coup... it's not gonna go down like you think it is
>we're boned
what did Mike mean by this
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had corruption, we had nepotism, we had everything we needed, and it all ran like clockwork! You could have shut your mouth, undermined the west, and made as much money as you ever needed! It was perfect! But no! You just had to blow it up! You, and your pride and your ego! You just had to be the man! If you’d done your job and known your place, we'd all be fine right now!
How long is he gonna keep us waiting?
