So the narrative from the MSM is

1. A guy sold hot dogs on the street in the USSR and spent time in the clink for petty shit.

2. He then became a rich restaurant owner and Putin's personal chef

3. In his spare time he was "the guy who used Russian disinformation to get Trump elected in 2016".

4. He then ended up running a personal private Army of 10K men

5. He then turns on Putin and marches his army toward Moscow

6. Then with no confrontation at all he stopped, turned around and went back

7. This is all 100% accurate reporting by the American media.

This then all results in "It is time to send more money and weapons to Ukraine".

But people like me are the conspiracy theorists? 🀷

The conclusion could have at least in theory made sense before Point 6. But how this will help now I’m not so sure πŸ€”πŸ˜‚

What if you just watched the Russians suck in 6 billion USD with our CIA thinking they had the Ace in the hole, then this supply short division just got massively resupplied and sent back, while we and the Ukrainians try to find our own assholes? I am not saying it happened but it makes more sense then the above doesn't it? Also if you think point three makes sense, 😝

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ What you said sounds more plausible even if it turns out to be wrong. After following all this shit for a full day I have porridge in my head instead of brains πŸ˜‚

My take. It is all fake news. The end.

Correct 🀝

All news is fake news, all fake news contains some truth.

Is this actually how it is being portrayed?! I haven’t watched news since high school.

No wonder they don’t teach critical thinking anymore!?

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real disease

Yep, Trump's a dumb ass but the deranged haters are even dumber.

Hah hes much smarter and more successful than you or I. Get some fucking respect.

Yea I am so much dumber than Trump that in the early 2000s he hired me as a consultant. And yes he is a dumbass who'd still be POTUS if he wasn't.

Good old MSM. It amazes me how anyone still believes them about well anything.

Just maybe, and I'm spitballing here... maybe Putin was testing loyalties and eliminating the possibility of a future color revolution in Russia?

A fake coup could be good way to find spies and moles in your ranks.

So points 1 to 6 are actually things that happened

Which of them do you claim not to have happened?

What's currently unknown, and still debatable are the *motives* behind each of these

but they did happen

And you know they happened because.........the TV said so. Please google "Gell-Mann amnesia" because you have a bad case of it.

I know they happened like I know anything that is true that I have not personally experienced, by an overwhelming set of evidence from people and sources that I have grown to trust because they have been generally correct in the past

And "Gell-Mann Amnesia" is just an over-drametic way of saying that the news has errors, that you notice them in areas you understand, and you nevertheless trust the other areas

And I agree that such trust is generally not warranted. People need to read media with a sceptical mindset

Media has errors and biases, but they really fall into two classes:

(1) In their choice of what to cover they omit facts that do not fit their narrative or world view

(2) They ascribe motives to people's actions, without evidence

But neither of the above two classes of errors apply to the six facts of Prigozhin's life, which you listed. They all happened. Maybe other things happened in his life that are also relevant. Maybe the motives ascribed by others to why those things happened are wrong. But those six things nevertheless happened.

See the References section of the Wikipedia page as a demonstration of the evidence for the six facts:

Also, for well-documented and well-sourced information about the latest in Russia and Ukraine I'd recommend this analysis, which is updated daily:

Finally some insight I can relate to. Darn thing has been floating about too long with few sensible voices (ehem other than the usual y voices in my head) to swat it.
