  • He’s a Lemmygrad user, there’s no point in debating him. He’s just going to keep spouting a bunch of pro-Russia propaganda. It makes me seriously question the source of the article as well. I can’t say one way or another if it’s part of Russian propaganda, but the fact that a lemmygrad user posted it does suggest it started circulating among consumers of Russian propaganda, so there’s some circumstantial evidence at least. At any rate, it’s a just an opinion piece and probably shouldn’t be posted in this community.


  • What a load of crap. It’s the equivalent of “If the sun suddenly exploded it would be really bad for Biden!”. This is almost literally some GQPs wet dream. There are no facts in that “article” just the same conspiratorial ravings that they failed to prove last time, they’re just dusting them off now that Hunter is getting raked over the coals to appease the GOP. This will end the same way, yes Hunter committed some crimes that he’s already been tried for and found guilty, but no he’s not a government employee and Joe had nothing to do with it.


  • Eh, it’s debatable. He had already shipped Wagner off to Belarus and folded the Wagner troops into the Belarus military, so Wagner was pretty effectively de-fanged at that point. The only thing Putin gained by this was sending a message to anyone else that decided to stand up to him, although if anyone still didn’t understand that Putin tends to assassinate people who displease him they haven’t been paying attention since like 1980 when Putin was still actually KGB. This is very on brand for Putin, although it is a bit novel to apparently go with airplane “crash” rather than his usual standbys of poisoning, “falling” out of windows, or tripping down flights of stairs/elevator shafts and landing on bullets.

    On the other hand, it does make Putin look scared and weak that he felt the need to assassinate someone who he had already effectively defeated, without needing to fire a shot at that. I still wonder how he pulled that off. He must have either had some seriously damning dirt on Prigozhin, or else made him one hell of a deal to get him to about face and march right out of Russia. Maybe Putin just straight up threatened to nuke him if he got any closer to Moscow and he decided not to try to call Putin’s bluff.




  • The poster of this has exactly one post and one comment. The post is this one which consists entirely of one image showing nothing and a list of unsubstantiated claims that read like a greatest hits list of conspiracy theories. The one comment is to a ex-mormon community saying a list of other ex-mormon communities on lemmy is “very useful”.

    Now, I’m not really inclined to defend mormonism, it’s a terrible “religion” with a laundry list of crimes and bad practices associated with its leaders at every level, but unhinged ravings like this with literally no evidence to back them up should probably be removed by a mod.
