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

Who says they have not prepared for that?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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

The anticipatory poop challenge part deux.

I sincerely do not understand why...

Maybe it's your attitude and insulting manner? None of your arguments required your comments about "liberals". Given those, it's disingenuous to attribute the downvotes to your "facts".

Honestly I doubt that Putin will fall from power that easily. He seems to take nots of precautions and he has lots of friends

Looks old now. He will probably die anyway.

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

[–] sxan@midwest.social 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.
