Using palace intrigue to create disinformation people will actively flock to because they love drama

I've just started Manufacturing Consent, and it's pretty wild to see the "evil russian nazi" -> "brave truthteller" narrative happen in realtime.

I find the idea this is Russian theater hard to believe. I could def believe this is NATO/CIA agitation in form of turning Prigozhin but I don't see how a fake coup attempt helps Russia morale or otherwise

Feels like the Gulan coup attempt in Turkey (2016) in how ridiculously over the top it is and that was def CIA linked

If this is a real coup it doesn't seem like a very good one

I agree it seems legit but it also seems low energy? Like is it just Prigozhin?

Putin either induced Prigozhin to go full Leroy Jenkins to get rid of him and Wagner, or it's a psyop to get Ukraine to go full Leroy Jenkins with their offensive, to defeat them faster

The Donbass war had a ceasefire, it was de facto a separate conflict.

There was never a ceasefire in the Donbas war, just some ceasefire agreements. The 2020 ceasefire came the closest but there was still shooting and shelling going.

Why would you spend 8 months performing gruelling grinding war for Bakhmut, capture it, and then launch a coup? Aren't they weakened from the fighting?

Can AI generate an image of Prigozhin as Moses, parting the Black Sea, and telling the Ukrainian forces to follow him and take Moscow?

I feel like there's something broken about my brain that makes me watch looping gifs loop at least 10 times (and often more).

Like I'm waiting for the end, but the end never comes. Each time it starts, part of me is wondering "is this the last one? is something different going to happen this time?"

I think it would be a pretty one-sided civil war. Wagner isn't THAT big.
