(9,148 posts)Im very progressive/left, but these loons have let their hatred of NATO, the US, and neoliberalism push them around the bend until theyre ideological soul mates with far right idiots like Tucker Carlson when it comes to spewing Russian propaganda about justifying the invasion and hating Ukraine and Zelensky.

(9,148 posts)I am close with one. He is very smart in other ways, but his hatred of NATO, US policy, and "neoliberalism" makes him susceptible to Russian-pushed propaganda that Putin was "threatened" by NATO (which is all the United State's fault, of course) and Ukraine is teeming with Nazis that Russia went in there to get rid of. Yeah, that sounds sooo plausible...

(15,674 posts)Is convinced - or at least playing convinced - that Trump still has some sort of CIC power, and he has teamed up with Putin and Xi Jinping of China to take down child pedo rings around the globe, and that's what the invasion of Ukraine is really about.
I don't pretend to understand the political ramifications if Putin is successfully coup'ed, but I will enjoy seeing him be wrong again. He has one of the worst records of any "prophet" I've studied - 100% failure rate on nearly 20 "prophecies."

(21,228 posts)Of course there may be others waiting in the wings, some probably even worse than Pooty. Perhaps some are even working with Prigozhin if they see him as their big chance to advance.

What shit show we both are.

(58,785 posts)an authoritarian strongman smash opposition. Their current hero Putin is predicted by experts to prevail.
But if Putin were to lose to Prigozhin they'd have Prigozhin. If Putin were to put Prigozhin down but was taken out by angry oligarchs, they'd then have that replacement strongman.
They admire strong, ruthless winners, losers to the curb.

(8,781 posts)will just scream fake news. Even if Putin ends up like Mussolini. It may well be that what is coming is an announcement from the Kremlin that Putin has resigned due to health issues etc. and some figure we don't know will emerge to be declared the leader. The Wagner thing has to be quelled, from the Kremlin perspective, because it carries the possibility to get much worse but they also don't know if Putin "leaving" will be enough to calm them down. The MAGA crowd will deny he is no longer in control etc. and cling to their delusions about the world around them. The grifters will continue to tell them that it is perfectly OK for them to believe so, that they may be on to something, they have "witnesses/whistleblowers/documents" etc. and the echo chamber goes on and on with more and more MAGA merchandise being sold and contributions to this fund or that feeding the grifters along with book deals and paid TV appearances.

(22,823 posts)But there aren't very many posts about it, either way.
Interestingly, some are saying this is "their Jan 6th."
Anything to puff up their image as revolutionaries. No one thought they'd die or even get arrested on Jan 6th. They sure as hell didn't take the risk of attacking vlad in moscow.
