I’m loving all the tankie tears in here. They don’t know who to support. LOL. I love how ruZZia is slowly eating its own tail and destroying itself, just typical of a fascist state. Slava Ukraini! Slava NATO!
What tankie tears are you referring to? This entire post is everyone joking around and generally not giving a FUCK that a PMC far right oligarch got got.
Also you ARE aware that the vast majority of communist parties are not pro-Russia whatsoever right? That the “critical support to Russia” people are ultra minoritarian in the world communist movement, whereas the majority condemns BOTH NATO’s role since 2014 (and prior) in precipating the situation leading to the Russian invasion, AND Russia for well, invading? Some even saying this war is one of inter-imperialist competition or close to one? That there is no good side but that of seeking peace asap for the sake of the working class, given the possibility of turning this bourgeois war into a revolutionary class war in both Ukraine, Russia, and the west is impossible atm?
Slava Ukraini! Slava NATO!
Deeply embarassing behavior. It’s a war dude, not a sport match.
Hexbear be like. The terminally online left makes me ashamed to share leftist sensibilities. Say what you want but political opponents don’t “dissapear” in the West. We’re fascists maybe, but the lesser evil atm. Once Putin (who let me remind you all has access to nukes) is done for, we can talk about NATO.
I just think it’s amusing how easily they out themselves as kneejerk anti-west reactionaries with support of Russia, which is a country even more opposed to their alleged ideals.
I don’t know what tankies you’ve seen, lil fasc, but it was always understood among us that Prigozhin was only useful as long as he was under control. An ancap with a personal army running around unchecked isn’t something you’ll catch me supporting. I just wish this was done more effectively, without loosing control of the orchestra.
I won’t shed a tear for Prigozhin and his gang but I haven’t heard a single person speak about the uninvolved crew members of the plane who also got killed with this… poor souls
Who cares? They were his own private planes. These people knew who they were transporting and getting paid for it while Ukraine burns. They are part of his war crimes as well.
Ah, right, the plane took off on its own, did it? Remind me again of the avionics in an Embraer? I didn’t realise they had introduced communication with ATC, navigating the airport etc. completely automatically.
Dude I’m really not trying to build a conspiracy theory, all I’m saying is that it doesn’t need a Machiavellian genius to put 10 corpses on a plane, fly it at altitude and jump off with a parachute before it crashes in the forest. It’s like “Action movie 101”.
But the plane was flying at cruise speed and there’s only two exits on the Legacy 600 - left side passenger door or over the wings. Either of of those gets a pilot sucked straight into an engine. A few people have parachuted off a passenger plane, but only through emergency exits behind the wings (with wing mounted engines) or the tail staircase.
You obviously know about planes more than me.
Still I agree with @RonJonGuaido that Prigozhin had no logic reason to be on a flight in Russian territory (other than being someway forced to do that)
Also adding a quick comment to apologise for my snide comment in the beginning. I think I hadn’t gotten my morning coffee yes - an explanation but no excuse. Sorry.
The only thing I’ll miss about him is his unhinged videos yelling at Shoigu and Gerasimov. Where else am I going to see billionaire completely lose his shit, yell at government officials, and then post that shit online?
I’ve seen a few Western news reports refer to him as a billionaire but even if we say that that’s made up bullshit, everyone agrees that he was very wealthy.
Dude like him must be up to his neck in off the books dark money and assets, so we’ll probably never know.
Aren’t Musk and some other shits doing this from time to time? We just know it’s inconsequential because they don’t have a reason and nothing change anyways.
From the reports its the entire high command that got merked on that plane sooooo…maybe nobody and Wagner get fully absored in the Russian armed forces, who is to say
One general dude got dismissed too today, it’s a belated consolidation of power IMO.
Let things chill from the “march on moscow”, get people complacent, wack hard.
What’s for sure is that Wagner is absolutely not going to open a “new front” from Belarus as things stand.
Let the speculation commence, one hypothesis is that said cleaning house is necessary for the preliminary steps to negotiations? After all, key NATO elements and some major western news have been hinted that the conflict can only end by negotiation. A key element to make that happen from the Russian POV is to get rid of their “rabbid dogs” like Wagner. They also cracked down last months on pro-insane escalation elements like ppl who were key to stage of conflict starting 2014, like Strelkov (who’s now jailed).
