Here's hoping they keep him.

Utterly unsurprising.

Back in the old days we would make people disappear when we thought they might be working with the Russians.

I keep hearing old folks talking about the good old days, maybe disappearing Russian agents is what they want to come back 🤷‍♂️

Uhg, this guy is a total scumbag.

Very normal vacation to decide to go on right now.

@lusterko @falcennial That’s a very good thing to do in Moscow. Alas, I suspect it’s not his main purpose.

@Virginicus @lusterko it is there because they told it to be there. it is watching ballet because they told it to watch ballet. it does not have agency if its own, it doesn't even understand the concept.

Yeah… my suspicion is that someone wanted him seen there. It doesn’t really impact him vis-à-vis his audience, but it does a certain amount of flexing for the regime

We don't believe "A Telegram channel said" when it's pro-russian bullshit (rightfully so), so we shouldn't believe "A Telegram channel said" when it fits our world view either. Just saying.

They've got literal pictures of him at the Bolshoi. I don't think it's a contestable point.

[–] SolacefromSilence@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

What if we look at the pictures on the Telegram channel of him in attendance?

[–] muse@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm looking right at his photo.

He’s an unwitting russian agent. A useful idiot.

Was his wife with him? If not, she should be concerned about what activities were planned for after the ballet.
