-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If he was actually on board I think this comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody here. The only confusing thing in the last few months is how much he's been parading around as if everything is normal.
I think we should all just realise that Prigo was a complete and utter fool. It's the only explanation I have for the world's worst attempted coup in the first place, and for his behaviour afterwards.
The biggest surprise is it took this long tbh
his wanted level went down after he left the search zone, but the boundary on the map put him right back up to 6 stars when he crossed it. happens to the best of us
Putin is a professional. He doesn't cut corners. These types of things take time, there are procedures. Paperwork to file.
no more half measures walter
He had literally no support, from anyone. Zero allies. It was an absolutely whacky thing to do no matter how you look at it. Compared to other genuinely powerful coup attempts that have failed it's clownshit, look at the gang of eight for example, that was a genuinely powerful coup attempt that failed. When you compare the two it's fucking weird that he ever thought it was a good idea, that he and others planned it for presumably weeks/months beforehand and at no point thought to themselves that they probably shouldn't do it without allies.
