I'm credulous of this. It's a lot of effort and drama but the stakes are extremely high too. If it lured Ukraine into a death trap it would pay for itself.
The fact that very little fighting occurred and nobody even went to prison is suspicious.
The fact that Prigozhin demonstrated extreme personal loyalty to Putin in the past and vice versa on a level few others have matched is also suggestive. Who else would you ask to run a fake coup?

- pydry 3y agoNo, I think if the coup was fake they probably faked those deaths. I'm not even sure if the MOD confirmed them. The details might have just "appeared" on telegram. I saw a photo of the dead pilots. Their faces were blurred. Weird huh?
