Putin has the sense of drama.
He's the mafia boss but with the actual nation state resources. (we can thank him for not spreading polonium across all of London this time)
Whether the information is confirmed or not, it's honestly scary.
He Protec but He Also Attac, and he never forgets.
- ozten 3y agoCould be a co-incidence, but two months ago was June 23rd - the withdraw from Ukraine and start of the advance on Moscow.
- expertentipp 3y agoThere was a moment everyone thought he chilled and became civilized, or that he is only a puppet of oligarchs... but he really seems to be literally the cruelest alpha mafia boss.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Putin has the sense of drama Putin was literally unable to resist the Wagner's march on Moscow. He had to negotiate a cease fire. The dramatic move would have been eliminating Prighozin then, not two months later.
- kapilvt 3y agorevenge is a dish best served cold. Putin's shored up on the internal police structures w/ heavy equipment (ie can't happen again re march on Moscow), purged on the military hard line that aligned to prighozin. then applied the coup d'état, no need to rush. prighozin was already being called a dead man walking on state tv.
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> prighozin was already being called a dead man walking on state tv The same state TV where the war has been going great, mind you. Putin had to do this. But dramatizing it as anything but a weak leader having to consolidate control before being able--not willing, able--to retaliate is pure theatre.
- sinkwool 3y agohe also promised them amnesty if they backed down. This is another case in point that his word means absolutely nothing and any negotiation with him is pointless.
