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

      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.

    UK should consider its own survival, instead of Russia’s, which is handling entire NATO’s microcosm pretty well.

        @Pacifist @TheAnonymouseJoker #Lemmy in general, and lemmy.ml in particular, is known for white-knighting for dictators tho, so this isn’t all too unexpected tbh

        Although I guess in most cases they wait for the dictator to die first so that people forget how bad he was

          You have had alot of pro NATO supremacist takes in the past 2 years. Why not highlight those instead of deleting your accounts?

      To be fair, it’s not exactly an unexpected scenario.

            I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you are refering to as Reddit, is in fact Lemm or as I have recently taken to calling it The+Fediverse …

              Correct, it’s a regime that bans public protest and tortures journalists. If one of the designated enemies was caught doing what UK is doing then you’d wast no time calling it a regime.
