May he get the Gaddafi treatment.

I'll settle for the Mussolini treatment.

You should probably look into the temperament of Prigozhin before you gloat too hard about getting rid of Putin.

Historically you Americans have too much blind trust that the replacement to a foreign leader will be more liberal and America loving

A fascist dictatorship isn't a very effective form of government.

Even if a brutal control-obsessed leader manages to stay in power for a long time, their country's growth is greatly hindered.

Germany might have developed the atomic bomb if a lot of their top researchers in that field hadn't fled the nazi regime.

More or less, the same thing happened with the Soviet Union under Stalin.

And you should definitely be scared of the consequences of a collapse of the country with the worlds largest nuclear arsenal

But I think that “we good guys overthrowing dictators” indoctrination is activating the feel good centers of your brain too hard for rational thought at the moment

Prigozhin is a mercenary, so certainly an asshole, but he's smart enough to know that invading Ukraine was a huge blunder. He'll overthrow Putin and pull out of Ukraine. May Putin be put to justice.

Just admit you were wrong all along. The war was never about Nazis. You got duped by Kremlin propaganda. It's okay, we all make mistakes.

@SolRo,

Countries don't collapse just because the Head Asshole in Charge gets knocked out of power.

And apparently it’s over, Prigozhin is pulling back.

Sorry to hear about your “regime change” blue balls

You think this is over? Putin revealed himself as weak as ever. Had to have Lukadhenko bail him out. It's a tentative stand down for now. Ukraine remains Putin's undoing.

Yeah, F us for hoping this war would end.

Like I said, you’re an idiot for thinking Prigozhin would topple Putin and be a moderate peacemaker

hey uh who here actually said that

I know its important for you to make this internal power struggle in russia about how americans are always dumb and bad but c'mon

Cena said a coup would end the war

Because Americans are literally incapable of imagining their actions making things worse

Germany never would've developed the bomb, because they were insistent on trying to apply Horbiger's World Ice Theory to every possible scenario. They started with a bad thesis and it would've ended with a bad product.

The Nazis were incompetent huckleberries posing as sophisticates, any scientific achievement that Germany ever had was due to humanist principles that the regime was incompatible with by self-declaration. They could've had nothing but Einsteins and the Fuhrerprinzip would've made sure they were irrelevant.

Read a book, read a book, read a motherfucking book.

Because when guy who doesn't believe in the war over throws guy who totally digs the war, the war ends. Russian involvement in WWI ended with the Bolsheviks overthrowing the Romanovs.

@cognitivedissonance,

The nazis pursued that path because most of the best nuclear scientists in Germany prior to the nazis seizing power were Jews.

And, for some reason, they didn't stick around after the nazis seized power leaving the stupid ones behind.

Also, the nazis didn't really improve the German economy enough to finance the research.

Also, they put their cronies in charge of the programs.

@SolRo,

Are you pro-Putin?

I just came in to piss on your circlejerk of hoping that a warlord who idolizes Stalin would end the war after executing Putin

Just so stupid

Wouldn't the ultimate destiny of someone like that be to dispose political rivals and become Stalin? I mean, you're acting like he's Putin's loyal soldier boy. Loyal soldier boys don't do what he just did.

So what's the benefit of 25,000 of your best soldiers leaving the front to act like they're attacking their own capital? Genius plan right there.

1. Fake mutiny
2. ????????
3. Profit

You went full underwear gnome. You never go full underwear gnome.

Reportedly only 5,000 left the area near front and it’s not like they abandoned frontline defenses

tankies gonna tankie

hey how's that coup going

Putin ran away while his buddy bailed him out.

Machiavelli wasn't even the first.

looking at this coup at face value is infantile and CNN like at best.

Que bueno?
