Am I missing something or did nothing in the article match the title?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I thought it was; maybe the link you got was to the front page, or something? The article was mostly about how Prigozhin's attempted coup (or whatever it was) surprised Western leaders, and a bunch of speculation about how the West is scrambling to prepare contingemcy plans. So the one I read seemed to match.

However, I think it was a fluff article, with little substance. Prigozhin has been agitating for weeks, and I seriously doubt MI6 (or the CIA) was surprised by his actions. Or that nobody has a contingency plan for chaos in Russia. Putin's a dictator, and when dictators die, it's rarely a peaceful transition of power.

In their place i would rather prepare for scenario of unexpected collapse of United Kingdom.

Who says they have not prepared for that?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

UK politicians never really seem prepared for anything tbh

Considering their preparations for other things, like brexit or covid i would say LOL.

To be fair, it's not exactly an unexpected scenario.

I would even say, desired.

UK should consider its own survival, instead of Russia's, which is handling entire NATO's microcosm pretty well.

Oh boy, Russian shills on Lemmy.

Not a good look.

@Pacifist @TheAnonymouseJoker #Lemmy in general, and lemmy.ml in particular, is known for white-knighting for dictators tho, so this isn't all too unexpected tbh

Although I guess in most cases they wait for the dictator to die first so that people forget how bad he was

You have had alot of pro NATO supremacist takes in the past 2 years. Why not highlight those instead of deleting your accounts?
