rynzcycle ( @rynzcycle@kbin.social ) 30•2 years agoOk, I’ll do it…
He’s alive and well and this is a bit of theatre agreed upon between Putler and him to save face in all directions.**This is a conspiracy theory and not at all based on facts, don’t quote me or take it too seriously
kembik ( @kembik@lemm.ee ) 8•2 years agoA plane crash can make it easier to claim an alive man is dead as there may not be a body.
I could see this as a means to keep Wagner troops loyalties in check, or just to keep everyone guessing. The most likely scenario though is that Putin did what Putin does which is assassination.
heartlessevil ( @heartlessevil@lemmy.one ) English1•2 years agoThe body doesn’t magically disappear. Although it is probably in many, many pieces, this can be confirmed through DNA testing on small samples.
Mangosniper ( @Mangosniper@feddit.de ) 3•2 years agoDNA testing that Russian investigators will do in Russia. And as we all know, they are trustworthy as fuck
heartlessevil ( @heartlessevil@lemmy.one ) English1•2 years agoWouldn’t they want to do that to show off their work? Or I guess not so they can distance themselves from it and pretend it never happened.

People are totally going to take that seriously.
Storksforlegs ( @storksforlegs@beehaw.org ) English3•2 years agoI think its equally likely he was shot down/plane sabotaged, this is fake face saving thing, or the plane crashed due to shoddy mechanics. Whatever the case, the uncertainty works out in Putin’s favour.
And if this is a fake-out, I think it’ll be found out pretty easily. He is not so adept at disguises.
JCPhoenix ( @JCPhoenix@beehaw.org ) English1•2 years agoIdk, I kinda think he looks like Admiral-General Haffaz Aladeen in that second photo.
Rozaŭtuno ( @Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 23•2 years agoOh, he didn’t just “accidentally” fall from a window like usual? They upped the budget.
megopie ( @megopie@beehaw.org ) 11•2 years agoNo, the plane just accidentally flew in to an air defense missile that was inexplicably hovering at 10,000 meters.
FaeDrifter ( @FaeDrifter@midwest.social ) English9•2 years agoMan I hate running into air defense missiles, it’s such a downer
Uniquitous ( @Uniquitous@lemmy.one ) English22•2 years agoSurprised it took this long, honestly.
akp ( @akp@beehaw.org ) English4•2 years agoI said the same thing to coworkers when they mentioned this
Sicktatties ( @Sicktatties@discuss.online ) 19•2 years agoOh no! Anyway…
Ertebolle ( @Ertebolle@kbin.social ) 16•2 years agoFeels like Putin’s lost a step, this should have been a much more interesting / inexplicable death; crushed by a herd of elephants or some such.
DrWeevilJammer ( @DrWeevilJammer@lemmy.ml ) 3•2 years agocrushed by a herd of elephants
OG Hannibal style
darko8472 ( @darko8472@feddit.uk ) English15•2 years agoDifferent then exiting a window I suppose
pelotron ( @pelotron@midwest.social ) English27•2 years agoI think the plane fell out a window
Che Banana ( @Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml ) 5•2 years agoHy Progie…take a look at the view from here 👌
FaeDrifter ( @FaeDrifter@midwest.social ) English2•2 years agoThe place fell out a window, and while it fell he fell out of a window on the falling plane.
Blizzard ( @Blizzard@lemmy.zip ) English8•2 years agoHe could have exited a window on the plane.
newtraditionalists ( @newtraditionalists@kbin.social ) 10•2 years agoI mean, that’s great! But what happens to his army of degenerate war criminals? They just unite under some other scumbag? Hopefully, he was arrogant enough to leave behind no indication of what to do in an event like this, and they succumb to infighting. We can dream, I suppose.
Edit: spelling
jmcs ( @jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de ) 9•2 years agoUtkin would be a strong candidate but he also got a bad case of airplane crash.
2ndtryagain ( @2ndtryagain@beehaw.org ) 5•2 years agoThey are all headed to Africa to cause more trouble and try and get their own little fiefdoms. At some point the US, EU or NATO is going to have to go in and fuck them up.
abbadon420 ( @abbadon420@lemm.ee ) 9•2 years agoBbc : “presumed dead”
Lemmy: “he dead!”
