Plutarch recounts how the Sabine king Tatius compensated the traitorous Roman Tarpeia for her treason. He buried her alive under the weight of the gold she received for her infamous act. Tatius said “I love treason (since it helped me conquer Rome) but I despise the traitor.” Well, Putin likes neither. He rewards betrayal with death. Prigozhin made a play for power. He failed. He died. Dishonesty has a capital price in Putin’s world.

Don’t accept the official narrative and do your own research. Always.
