"Can't we just discuss this like a pair of blown-ups?"

This shit is really depressing.

I thought you were glad when fascist shits got killed?

I’m glad the Fascist shits are dead. Not cheering death like some mad shanks on this thread but glad.

This shit is really depressing.

A rare point of agreement from me.

Much as it's great he's dead, it might be a while before I'm overly happy and cheering on anyone putting bombs in cafes tbh.

Just normal every day folks

The event was advertised as open to the public and had approximately 100 attendees. Prigozhin confirmed that he had offered his Street Food Bar #1 Café to the Russian ultranationalist movement “Kiber Front Z,” to hold Fomin’s event and other nationalist gatherings.

I'd like to hope bar staff were safely behind the bar, but couldn't give a fuck about the rest

I'd like to think that the arsehole who placed the bomb got caught in the blast too, but I doubt it.

Exploding bombs in public places is a cunt's trick of the highest order, regardless of who the target is.

 

[kabbes]

Unless they are stink bombs

 

[StoneRoad]

Sounds like Prigozhin could have been using the event for a bit of pro-war propaganda and even recruiting fighters.
[as he doesn't usually miss such chances ...]

Lifts being the premium targets.

Former Russian commander in Ukraine says Moscow was unprepared for a protracted war and is now 'heading for military defeat'

Igor Girkin, who once led a group of Russian militants in Donetsk, said Moscow is sleepwalking toward defeat in Ukraine, per Ukrayinska Pravda.

Why do you think it’s accurate?

 

[bcuster]

Why do you think it’s accurate?

I think the Russians are going to be defeated. I can't think of the last "occupier" that won the the war they started. Rome? The Golden Horde?
