Warner Bros. or Wagner boss?

Wagner Bros.

Hopefully the same thing happens to Putin next.

What's fucking hilarious is that I called this as soon as he backed down. On the former place, lots of people talking about how confusing it all was and I'm like nah he's gonna die in an "unfortunate" plane crash.

He should have gone all in. He should also have known that you can't cross Putin like this and not expect retaliation.

[–] ClopClopMcFuckwad@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

My thoughts on exactly. He should have taken a real shot at Putin because the end result was going to be the same either way.

Mr. Putin, meet Lieutenant Columbo, from the LAPD. He'd like to have a few words with you Sir. Just a few questions about this tragic accident involving an acquaintance of yours, a Mr. Prigozhin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyfywQ98dIU

This was expected to happen the moment he backed down.

Based on witness testimony, when he arrived to wreckage, found people were moving bodies from wreckage, sounds like someone wanted visual confirmation.

I always read it as Warner Bros...

[–] imgprojts@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

putin is still at large. Any chance we can you know 😜...tall building? Maybe 🤔 special taco sauce in his milk tonight? Or an ice bullet? You know, anything would be acceptable. Like if you just accidentally run him over with your Ford Fiesta and then a steam roller just happened to finish the job, that would still be pretty acceptable.

Good riddance, though a plane crash seems like a relatively easy way to "kill" someone while they go into hiding.

[–] Arkarian@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't on that plane. Doubt that the guy was so stupid as to fly inside Russia openly.

[–] gbin@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Such a sad coincidence
