Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in mysterious plane crash
Another strange happening today on the other side of the world:
T he leader of the Wagner Group mercenary front that marched his forces on Moscow just months ago was believed to be among 10 individuals who died in a plane crash Wednesday, according to Russia’s state news service.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led the failed revolt in June, was listed among 10 names on the private plane’s passenger list, according to the report from Tass, which cites the country’s aviation authority. All 10 people aboard the flight were killed.

There seems to be confusion about exactly what happened other than some claiming the plane was hit by a Russian surface-to-air missile.
Another Putin enemy has met an untimely & horrible death.

It seems like only yesterday when Prigozhin was bashing in the head of a Russian deserter.
Well at least he didn't fall out of a hotel window......................Wouldn't put it past the Ruskies to sacrifice an extra few to get someone who pissed them off. This stinks...............

You need some help with your comprehension skills. He implied nothing of the sort. Stay on topic.
I am on topic. I believe he can speak for himself.
A dollar to a donut Vicious Vlad got his payback on Prigozhin after all. He just waited for the most opportune moment.
It was established by Navalny that poisoning one's opponents doesn't always work, so this was a much more effective method. I just watched on the news that said two loud bangs were heard on from the ground just before the plane crashed. Takng into consideration the possibility of such a thing occurring, the nine others in the plane, including the pilot were damned fools for flying with him.
Most likely they were probably all very well paid by Prigozhin and knew and accepted the risks.
Just recently Putin gave his condolences to the family:
"Details of the US assessment surfaced as Putin sent his condolences to the families of the 10 people on board the private jet which crashed on Wednesday soon after taking off from Moscow.
He described Prigozhin as a “talented businessman” in a televised address but said he had “made serious mistakes”.
US believes ‘intentional explosion’ brought down Prigozhin jet as Vladimir Putin says Wagner leader made ‘serious mistakes’ (msn.com)
I can only assume Prigozhin's biggest mistake was turning on Putin.
It was the end of a long friendship.
Just a little strange for a condolence to include "made serious mistakes". Usually condolences are all good and no bad. How odd ...
A billion dollars wouldn't have tempted me to be on that plane.
Maybe he said it to hint that he did it as a warning to others not to fuck with him.
Same here, but life is cheaper in that particular part of the world it seems.
Indeed.
Think you hit the nail on the head there Buzz.
Putin wants it investigated but David Weiss is busy and most likely never to be heard from for another 5 years.
What an amazing coincidence.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge
Say no more
(For those unfamiliar with Python)
Monty Python rocks!
trump should fly there in his jet, after he gets out of jail tonight, and try to stabilize this volatile situation with his friend putin...
He never should have left the relative safety of his personal army. Putting himself in Putin's hands was the signing of his death warrant. It was only a question of when.
Who would have thought he'd be such a trusting soul. He thought he could make a deal after trying to remove Putin.
The only thing that makes sense to me is if Putin had his loved ones as hostages
