"Plane crash"

[-] ApeNo1@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

“Eye witnesses say the plane just fell out of a window from a high rise building as the victim was coincidently walking past.”

going to be interesting how all the Wagner troops and supporters respond to this, it would be kinda ironic if it wasn't actually Putin but no one would ever believe that and the backlash ends up unseating him.

Hard to believe with the media today !!

Or another subterfuge ??

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently only 8 of 10 bodies were recovered. I'm rolling with subterfuge.

Can anybody explain what the ramifications are?

well going by how brutal that video of the plain falling from the sky is I'd guess Putin wanted to send a message to people who go against him - it could be paranoia but more likely he's aware of people actually plotting against him - we could well see a purge of other anti-putin characters which is historically a very key moment because it's basically like calling in poker - he's forcing them to act and if their hand is stronger then he's done for, if it's not then a handful of potential threats are removed but also more are created in the fear and resentment that comes from it.

The key thing is how Wagner and their supporters react to this, it might scare some people into silence but it's not going to win Putin any friends.
