    If he was actually on board I think this comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody here. The only confusing thing in the last few months is how much he's been parading around as if everything is normal.

    I think we should all just realise that Prigo was a complete and utter fool. It's the only explanation I have for the world's worst attempted coup in the first place, and for his behaviour afterwards.

        his wanted level went down after he left the search zone, but the boundary on the map put him right back up to 6 stars when he crossed it. happens to the best of us

        Putin is a professional. He doesn't cut corners. These types of things take time, there are procedures. Paperwork to file.

        He had literally no support, from anyone. Zero allies. It was an absolutely whacky thing to do no matter how you look at it. Compared to other genuinely powerful coup attempts that have failed it's clownshit, look at the gang of eight for example, that was a genuinely powerful coup attempt that failed. When you compare the two it's fucking weird that he ever thought it was a good idea, that he and others planned it for presumably weeks/months beforehand and at no point thought to themselves that they probably shouldn't do it without allies.
