Loser should have gone all the way to Moscow when he had the chance. Lamest coup attempt ever.
I wonder if the Russians go and loot the corpses like they did when they shot down the Malaysian civilian airliner.

You are aware you can register as independant right?

This was expected, he was a dead man the instant he rebelled if he didn't succeed. I am surprised he gave up pushing Moscow without a fight, it was bizarre.

In addition to other things that may have happened behind the scenes, he didn't really get the support I'm guessing he was expecting. Probably realized it wasn't going to work and then started backpedaling.

Really interesting to see what happens now with Wagner. I wouldn’t like my life odds if I was a member. They don’t seem to forgive so easily in Russia.

So poorly planned and coordinated, shot in the dark and hope for support. A coup succeeds if you can guarantee you can cut off head/secure the existing leadership in the first day, and you have the support to do execute that. Pringles had neither and he still decided to go ahead with his rebellion.

Yes, but why? Telling the government who you do or don't support in what is ultimately a private ballot is baffling.


Try this, imagine if Trudeau wanted to bring this in for Canada now. How would that go over? Right? That's the logical reaction.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just start pillaging Belarus.

Russian chopper defects to Ukraine and surrenders their aircraft and other unwitting crew members to Ukraine.

I have to wonder if he was actually on board, though? He was listed on the passenger list, but that might have been a decoy or something? I can't imagine why he would fly into Russia as a listed passenger, knowing the price on his head. Or maybe he was just a total idiot.

I offered to do a charity event and you cowarded out. Probably didn't want to sign the waivers so you could try and sue. You proved to be not worth my time FormerPresDonaldTrump. Another tool that never adds anything to the board, on to the ignore list you go.

Does Guinness have a category for 'Highest Defenestration?'

They could have a whole chapter.

- Highest Defenestration
- Least Likely Defenestration
- Worst Lie about Defenestration
- Most creative Defenestration

Just lean into it.

I'm bereft of details here, but...did you offer to do a charity fight and fly out to Calgary to...fight some guy on the internet who you perceived to have insulted your honour? That's pretty wild, man. Sliver, get in here. This is good stuff.

The mixture of a "plane crash" and some guys having some quibble unrelated to anything going on in this thread is kinda mind bottling. Is there any mods around that can clean this up?

2 guys internet slap fighting because they're insecure in their manhood does fit in quite well in a thread centered around Putin though
