What are the odds if CRP is alive and his hostage video resembles this meme?

Pretty sure he’s dead.

Can’t prove it, if I look stupid later. Whatever, I don’t care much. I was a fan of some of his earlier stuff, but pretty much quit caring after the 2016 election. If he is alive, alright cool. Glad you didn’t die, it was still a dumb idea to support invaders in the country that’s being invaded. Some of these Ukrainians aren’t going to take kindly to you, and some are probably going to recognize you. It would have been far smarter to try and cross into Russia and stay there if you’re supporting them. It’s not like you couldn’t get optics about the situation from Russia, I’m sure that’s all that their news is discussing at this time.

Don’t wanna go to Russia because the sanctions will fuck with your standard of living? Poland or Transnistria and then Moldova were still options. Take a boat to Turkey, or Georgia if you can. Fuck go and fly to Estonia or Finland if you’re afraid bad shit will happen in Poland. The Russians in Estonia will welcome you with open arms. But don’t just fuck around in the war zone either - keep your head down and don’t say much or don’t go around on video posting about how much you like Russia while you’re in Ukraine. Post anonymously. Make some new account and just clue in a few people that it’s you and have them promote you as the anonymous source inside Ukraine but for the love of God don’t show your face.

But again, I don’t have a dog in this fight really and would have personally just stayed out of it. Whether he died or not, this was a really dumb thing to get himself involved in.
 
my money is on he's going dark for attention and when he inevitably returns he'll go on RT and make up a sob story about how the evil nazi ukranians were after him and forced him underground for weeks until the heat was off.

there may be enough of a kernel of truth in the latter for him to go all in and run with it.
 
They took our COW!!!!
This is going to be controversial, but have we thought about having the cows tattooed? A serial number would be tacky, but a small QR code directed to their thread would ensure we get execution videos uploaded in a timely manner. Maybe branding would be better?

Well, I think if it were a grift, he wouldn't keep it going this long.
 
Call this a tinfoil theory if you want. I don’t know if I even fully believe it.

He was hoping Russia would give him some kind of ministerial position once the conflict was over for all of his efforts there and then he would have an official position of power and the name recognition and success he so desperately craved. It’s kind of fitting that a narcissist would do this. He could also use his experience to silence all of his haters “I reported on things in an active war zone and earned my place in the Russian Government, what are you doing with your life?”. I dunno something like that. It is the best motive I can think of for why somebody would do what he did.

What makes that really retarded is that to be a member of the Russian government in any capacity from what I understand anyway is you have to have connections. Military, corporate, Church, or Union is typically how you get in. If you’re just some faggot journalist the oligarchs will basically say “oh thanks!” And pretty much ignore you for the rest of time now that you aren’t useful.

Alternatively he may have been planning to write a book about all of his experiences in a war zone hoping it would become a best seller and he could get all kinds of speaking events once the war was over and his book was published. That’s also a retarded idea. The west is not going to be sympathetic to Russia for a very, very long time. Most people in Pro Russian states don’t care to read about the experience you had gone through and I don’t even know if any major talk shows are all that relevant anymore.

I’m just spitballing.

I think it’d be funny if he initially faked his death then when trying to escape the city he got hit by Russian artillery or shot by a paranoid Ukrainian when he didn’t understand what he was saying.

Lee Harvey Oswald tried the same trick. Didn't work for him either.

be that as it may I agree,. Watched a few of his videos back in the skeptic-meme mid 2010s era; he had the very same huffing his own self-assured narcissism he criticised the west for even then. At least back then he was well groomed, but doubt his attitude or expectations of life improved at all.

He wanted something out of this drama, likely as an overpaid western talking head for RT.

If he was smart he would have border hopped west, slipping into Belarus at the nearest opening. Rather than going further east into Ukraine's second biggest city, where obviously le resistance would hold for some time.
