I don't know, in hindsight I think this could be an even better outcome. As Darken0id put it over on Reddit (quoted in full for those who are avoiding Reddit):

This is literally the most non-credible outcome. No one saw the plot twist coming, and the outcome is just incredibly weird. It is the most unlogical, useless coup to ever happen and the fact that they even arrived in Moscow, shot down some choppers just to say "nah man this ain't it, lets go home" AND IT WORKS makes this the peak of non-credibility. We witnessed something so non-credible, it might as well be our golden hour. This subreddit is all about the non-credible and now, that the unthinkable has happened you are just bitching because the funni got cancelled? I know your blue balls are starting to apply pressure to your brains but think for a second: no outcome of this coup would have been as stupid as what our timeline got. Be grateful for it. This sub just experienced a glimpse of greatness, it fulfilled its destiny.

From a more pragmatic perspective, it isn't such a great outcome to replace a weak authoritarian leader like Putin with a stronger one. I'm not sure Prigozhin really would have been stronger, but it's a possibility - the man's a chef, after all. So perhaps this was the best outcome, weakening Putin significantly and then leaving him still in charge.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
