    Good riddance, though a plane crash seems like a relatively easy way to “kill” someone while they go into hiding.

    I’ve been following this on Russian- and English-language sites. Nobody but BBC alleged Russian responsibility, and they cited no evidence. Remember when Boris Johnson personally tanked peace negotiations?

      No, everyone else just says it between the lines instead. Hinting at it if you will.

      Maybe it’s just dangerous to be above the ground in Russia. So many people are mistakenly falling out of windows these days.

          Yes, poor Putin, the innocent victim in all of this, he doesn’t deserve to be demonized. Quite frankly, it’s Ukraine’s fault for being invaded.

          and just to make it incredibly clear. That was sarcasm. Because I’m a little worried you wouldn’t be able to pick up on that.

            Ah, poor NATO citzen, having their spoon-fed, govt-approved view of the world challenged by someone who actually pays attention to what the rest of the world says. Wallow in your ignorance. I’m done.

      A plane with a lost wing that looks to have been hit by a missile with photos of it falling from the sky and videos of the explosion as it hits the ground on Russian soil. Russia tanked peace negotiations when they didn’t leave Ukraine.

      There is more evidence about this than evidence of Putins butthole. I guess the only people who will really know are the salad flipping pro Russian propagandists.

    Based on witness testimony, when he arrived to wreckage, found people were moving bodies from wreckage, sounds like someone wanted visual confirmation.

    At the same time, Grey Zone reported that a second business jet owned by Prigozhin had landed safely in the Moscow region.

    Perhaps not gone.

    However from memory they shot down some air force stuff on their way up during the mini mutiny, so I could see the Russian Air Force having it out for him.

    putin is still at large. Any chance we can you know 😜…tall building? Maybe 🤔 special taco sauce in his milk tonight? Or an ice bullet? You know, anything would be acceptable. Like if you just accidentally run him over with your Ford Fiesta and then a steam roller just happened to finish the job, that would still be pretty acceptable.

    Man, I can’t help myself comparing this to the opening of The Dark Knight Rises (that one guy injected Dr. Pavel’s blood/DNA, and then sacrifices himself).

    People seem awfully quick to accept the narrative - it seems to me this would be the easiest way for him to disappear on his own terms.
