Lesson: If you’re going to create an insurrection against Putin, you better not miss.
Or give up half way through. Kudos to him, though. I didn’t even expect him to actually make it to Belarus after the attempt.
Also kudos to Russia for actually responding to an insurrection in a remotely swift manner…
I did absolutely call it. I still don’t understand why he surrendered, any more than I understood it then. Even a normal leader isn’t going to take kindly to that shit, let alone Putin? You win or no one ever finds what’s left of you, and there is no other option. He was far too smart not to see that was the bet he was making, but he just…turned around and went home anyway? It was bizarre.
Yeah, absolutely bizarre that he made it out to Belarus with a sympathetic Lushenko, reportedly to Africa with Wagner having overthrown governments there, then returned to Russia ?!?
I do wonder if Putin guaranteed something - then Shoigu and Gerasimov finished him off, with or without Putin turning a blind eye. Surovikin did get removed relatively recently too.
There is also the possibility that his family was being threatened if he didn’t end the march to Moscow.
And this isn’t something he considered in advance?
Kudos to them? Psh, fuck him and Russia.
Yea, it’s just a dig at the US for failing spectacularly at the same problem.
“Dies” I guess that’s one way of spelling assassinated.
“crash”
Crashed into a missile
That’s the first thing they teach you in piloting school: Antiaircraft missiles always have right of way.
“plane got in way of missile”
Man that’s a really huge window he fell out of…
They tossed the whole plane out of the plane window.
Just an unfortunate accident.
