I think people are mostly joking when they say those kinds of things, though Russia does have form for people dying in mysterious ways.

Bit like if we were around during King Henry VIII's reign, people would be debating how long his wives keep their heads attached.

I get that :p but I imagine the post count of this thread would be halved if we removed all those “witty” posts, it’s mildly amusing the first time you hear it, however it becomes a catch phrase whenever somebody in the Russian army does anything remotely negative.

As a man with awful Dad humour, even I find it banal and unfunny :D

This week in Russia, feels like I’ve watched a really bad movie, where they ran out of budget halfway through, yet instead of cancel the film - they just released what they had, directly onto vhs…

It's like Rian Johnson movie subverting expectations just for the sake of it with no pay off and a dumb ending.

Tbh though Putin has exposed himself and allowed himself to look weak which is a bizzare thing to say about Putin given how much importance he places on keeping 'face' in such situations. There's probably a bunch of other numpties/despots in the Russian regime looking at this and thinking if they stand up to Putin and the government what can they get out him.
 
either way..... They turned on their own side and shot down aircraft presumably killing some people in the process. They were called out for being traitors and told they would face harsh punishments.

however you slice it that is pretty messed up, and even more so now they are supposedly back on team Russia again.

could you imagine if that happened to our army? I realise it would mean the loss of a capable fighting unit but i would not want our military letting that kind of thing go.

For all the talk about Aleksandr Lukashenko being a Putin puppet it's worth considering that if Putin needs to flee from Russia the first place he's likely to move to is Belarus which will mean Lukashenko will be playing the roll of protector to both Putin and Prigozhin at the same time.

Not sure how this is a Putin victory. The whole thing leaves him much weaker than before.

I guess you are only "weak" if you are attacked. Time will tell who has the bottle, but given he has been lining the pockets of tonnes of folk, it is highly unlikely IMHO. Something about biting the hand that feeds you...........

The trouble is Putin keeps plenty of snakes in his back garden so getting bite should be expected. There's people in and around Puting looking at this thinking what they can get out him given how easily he left off Prigozhin get away with quite literal treason and blackmail (i'm assuming money was involved at some point).
