Should Jackie even be considered for this award? When was the last time she juggled? Her life at this point is probably all power lunches and conference calls. Once you go high enough you stop being a real clown and become a politician.
Honorable mention to Trump but my vote goes to Prigozhin. He was so close to the smoothest coup a first world country has ever seen. Man had IRL plot armor and on a limp dick promise by the people he was couping against took the fucking armor off and went home.
I really don’t understand what the hell happened there to make him chicken out. Like, once you cross the Rubicon, there is no turning back. And yet he turned back… It’s just baffling and I simply can’t imagine what could’ve possibly caused that, apart from sheer idiocy. I read somewhere the deal was that his family would live, but if he didn’t get his family safe prior to his “coup” then his idiocy truly was unmatched.
The only thing I can think of is there was some sort of stars-align scenario that he felt needed to happen, and that he would never get a better chance. Either that or he knew there was a hit on him and he felt time was running out.
I do. You don’t just march on 10+M city with what, 2500 people? the rest, incl pringles himself, were in Rostov. Maybe he thought that simply posturing will get him what he wanted, whatever that was
When literally everyone who is paid to stop you from doing exactly what you are doing, it was more likely there was about 10 people in moscow who would try to resist and a couple million happy literally anyone else is in the kremlin. Just being able to plant his flag in the city would have been a major blow to his political rivals.
He might not have held that power for very long, but he would have lived considerably longer since he already committed his treason.
He didn’t have the support of the people he though he had. The odds of a successful coup were extremely low.
What is baffling to me is how he didn’t see the obvious target on his back, and continued doing business in Russia like nothing happened. Why didn’t he try to hide?
He had Russian soldiers, the people meant to stop him, just letting him pass and approach the Kremlin. He shot down a helicopter or two but my guy made it so much closer than anyone has, anywhere. They would have warmed up to him as he pulled their sons home from the war.
They kinda feel out of place because with sufficient context you realize they’re the result of some of the most inhumane conditions human beings can endure and are being shamed for taking an extremist position when the only alternative is to lay down and die. Kinda rough.
Sure, most of what the other people did was clown material, but Putin really was the entire circus. Again. The unfortunate part is all the lives that were needlessly lost because of his clown choices, which I would estimate is probably higher than everyone else on that chart combined. It is actually amazing how he still keeps going.
This essentially. What a way to throw your struggling nation into ruin, forcing the next generations into minor power/alliance member status. A former leader in space exploration! …is now struggling to build next gen tanks and buying hardware from pariah states… failing the same shit they did in 2008.
