But, for what goal, though? I’m asking because I’m genuinely curious. It made Putin look weak and it really seemed like he and this crony cabinet were on the run. It’s not like Putin squashed down the rebellion in a show of force - instead, Wagner said “yeah, it’s all good, imma turn around now and peace out to Belarus. Lates”.
This whole story is beyond weird. None of it makes any sense - a fast moving coup against an established government, an abrupt about face, and then exile into a neighboring country - only to come back “home” to pick up your prized pistol and a few other things. Oh, and also to meet up the leader you tried to overthrow.
No doubt. I’m going to try to enjoy the slow flow of comments for now.
Getting used to it. I’ve noticed it’s been very stable today compared to the last few days. I’ve been trying to find communities similar to the ones that I was a member of on Reddit. I miss the volume of info that was available on Reddit that I could drown myself in but I refuse to download the official app. After what spez did to Christian and other third party app devs, it’s time to go. So, rock on, Lemmy! (this is my first post btw!)
If it is to be said, so it be, so it is.
