It could not have been Putin who did the negotiating because that would have placed him on the same level as Prigozhin, and he has to be above.
What channel was the audio recording? We need to get deepfake specialists on this right away, the audio only is suspicious, and Russia has every reason to try and stop popular support
Yeah imo it definitely sounds a bit sus as well. It sounds weirdly clean compared to his other communication, has no video (unlike most other communication that I've seen), and although I don't speak Russian the pauses in his speech and the way he's speaking in the recording in general feel off. It could totally be real, but it does feel very convenient that he just stops like this with help from Lukashenko of all people. We'll see soon enough though.
Lol yeah was weird to read for me too. Not the ending of the season though, only ending of today‘s episode. I feel like that Wagner character set off a death flag there.
Wait what
Next up: Belarus annexes Russia
The old annexaroo
Does anyone else feel like this is some kind of Putin-led theater to redirect blame for Ukraine on his own military leadership instead of himself?
"Oh look, it was the military leaders all along... they were colluding with the west to weaken Russia! What a patriot Prigozhin is for uncovering this horrible western conspiracy!"
I believe the scientific name for this whole thing is "clusterfuck" xD
This is hilarious
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
