Semper Shitpost Ubique

Half of the Russian nationalists online are blaming France because Wagner is in Niger.

I find the lib handwringing annoying though. State security agencies exist to eliminate threats to the nation. The whole SMO concept requires minimizing trouble at home, so Hot Dog Man was a problem,

prigozhin casually flying on a jet to moscow really underlines the fact that literally everyone involved in this war is profoundly stupid.

lol Putin met with these guys 1 month ago and got them onboard with the plan

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/10/putin-met-with-wagner-leader-gerasimov-makes-an-appearance

quote:

Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin for three hours, days after a short-lived rebellion led by the mercenary chief and his private army, the Kremlin has confirmed.

...

The Putin-Prigozhin meeting took place at the Kremlin on June 29 and involved commanders from the military company, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

...

According to Peskov, Putin offered an “assessment” of Wagner’s actions on the battlefield in Ukraine and “of the events of June 24” – the armed rebellion which was halted just before hoards of mercenaries planned to march on Moscow.

The president also “listened to the explanations of the commanders and offered them options for further employment and further use in combat” during the meeting.

“The commanders themselves presented their version of what happened,” Peskov said. “They underscored that they are staunch supporters and soldiers of the head of state and the commander-in-chief, and also said that they are ready to continue to fight for their homeland.”

Thirty-five people took part in the talks, including Wagner commanders and the leadership of the company, namely Prigozhin himself.

The absolute morons. Those 35 people are probably getting rounded up right at this moment if they weren't on either of the two airplanes.

You guys remember the Il22 plane that was shot down during Priggy's coup.

I was skeptical of the video. But now I think that was real and Putin took him down the same way. Probably used the same weapon.

Also Putin waited a 2 whole months probably because he was waiting for both Priggy and that scary looking dude (Utkin) get on the plane at the same time.

"The Wagner private military group must turn from just a private, the best, army in the world which is capable of defending the state, into an army with an ideology. And that ideology is the struggle for justice."

https://en.topwar.ru/212443-vy-za-d...artemovska.html
"But there is a second scenario, which can be described by the formula: you are for democracy, and we are for justice. In Russia, half of the 140 million people are for justice. If these 70 million people suddenly express a desire to join the Wagner PMC, the West will see a 70 millionth military company. And this is also a good prospect."

https://www.scmp.com/news/world/europe/article/3213316/ukraine-war-russias-wagner-chief-sets-out-ambitions-army-ideology
Prigozhin has repeatedly denied harbouring any political ambitions. However in a video message on Saturday he announced he would run in next year’s presidential election “in Ukraine”, against current President Volodymyr Zelensky and his predecessor Petro Poroshenko.

I also want to congratulate Hideo Kojima on his 60th birthday today.

I mean if you see the video, the plane was still intact as it went down, so the answer is almost certainly yes lmao, 30 seconds of “oh gently caress” before the end
