Ghost of Kiev takes another life 😔

[-] Life2Space@lemmygrad.ml 52 points 1 year ago

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 54 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Drstrange2love@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 1 year ago

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

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 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.

Someone didn't read the trueanon rules for life

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

[-] relay@lemmygrad.ml 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."

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 43 points 1 year ago

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

[-] juchebot88@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 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.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago
[-] American_Communist22@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 1 year ago

honestly no real loss, he was a merc shithead

lets hope that this turns out well

ypg-brace you think rules are suggestions? Planes are just sideways helicopters

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 1 year ago
[-] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 1 year ago

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 14 points 1 year ago

This is so adorably arrogant lmao

I'll believe it when they show the body

[-] ReadFanon@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago

horror movie logic applies

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 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

[-] Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml 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.

[-] Fissionami@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No fucking shot

~~Edit: this has got to be a dumbass journalist falling for some AI bs right???~~

Edit2: wow they really got him, rest in piss Nazi you won't be missed

rip-bozo

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago

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

Hercule Poirogozjin: Death in the Clouds

[-] SpaceDogs@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago

Cue the “Putin Killed Prigozjin” articles and tweets. Maybe John Oliver will chime in too.

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

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Edit: Article by Al-Jazeera

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago

I mean NATO and EU are headquartered here for a reason

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

B*lg*um 🤮

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/

[-] dRLY@lemmygrad.ml 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.

[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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 45 points 1 year ago

Why would this event possibly result in a civil war?

[-] olgas_husband@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 1 year ago

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

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

Mercenaries generally don't have any alliances except to the grind 💪💰💯

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago
[-] ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago

wagner pmcs face when

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 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.
