Guess you could say he was putin a tough spot.

[-] Fonchote@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's what happens when he Russian to a solution.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I see vlad you did there.

[-] motorwerks@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago

Doesn't seem all that insightful to me. Looked to be a nothing burger.

[-] chaorace@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 year ago

I agree. The only substantial quote in the entire article seems to originate from an utterly bored intern analyst:

The think tank said the reason for the leak was unclear although it could be an attempt to "rehabilitate Wagner's image," following the rebellion on June 24 in which it seized military facilities in the southern city of Rostov-on-Don and marched on Moscow. The ISW said it makes Wagner "look professional and appealing in comparison with the regular Russian military."

That's it? It's literally just a corporate charter! What a misleading headline 😩

Newsweek is not a serious news outlet any longer. The get clicks based on their past reputation, not anything they currently contribute.

[-] kennydidwhat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, also they're sourcing from ISW. Which is fine, if proper considerations are made.

But, they were not. Really low-hanging fruit of an article imo.

That is how it feels. Also, I like how they keep referring to Prigozhin as a "free man" while also saying that his whereabouts are unknown...

[-] sirspate@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

At this point I'll be surprised if he's still alive.

[-] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Now they're saying he has "cancer". I wonder how that will go for him...lol

I know it's a funny play on "position" in the title, but "man being fucked on all fours" being an insult is a bit homophobic(/kinkphobic), so it might be best not to make that kind of joke

[-] MilkToastGhost@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Man being fucked on all fours is a insult when they don't want people to say they were fucked on all fours.

[-] thathoe@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 year ago

Yes, exactly, it's homophobia all around

"Cool motive, still homophobic"

[-] MilkToastGhost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your not even worth the argument have a nice day!

[-] thathoe@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 1 year ago

You're*

argument;* have

Better headline: "Putin put in awkward position" 🤣
