Putin, and I don’t even think its close.
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.
Half the clowns on that list only had the opportunity to clown because of the war Putin started, so yeah, he’s the King Clown.
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.
Extra big red nose from me big guy.
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.
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.
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.
