If Prigozhin was taken out. Then this evening his family members are also at risk of being murdered by Putin's mafia.
really hope they go for it. Cause chaos in RuSSia, advantage Ukraine.
lol
I never claimed that Wagner were responsible for MH17.
Prigozhin was on the passenger list.......Or was it his double?
That's one of the planes that the Wagners shot down some weeks ago.
Theories of an insurance policy or dead man's switch look likely to be put to the test, now.
Wasn't it Girkin who commanded the forces that did that?
At the end of the day he attempted a coup and, for some reason (maybe a full moon was in the offing?), decided to stop the coup in an advantageous position with no apparent operational rationale to do so.
He must have known he was a dead man walking with that decision. Should have gone all the way.
What a fecking idiot Prigozhin was. To believe that Putin would not want him out if the way. He was the biggest threat to Putin since he got rid of Nilvany. If course Putin was going to have him taking out.
"How many storeys should Prigozhin fall from, Mr. Presdident?"
"....three hundred"
"But sir! There aren't any buildings in Russia that high!"
"You heard me."
I had thought they were Russian soldiers off the books, sold to the world as "Donbass separatists". This was essentially the beginning of the invasion and orhestrated as a separatist movement from within but the influence was from outside. I think it was the Russians who accidently shot down MH-17 due to sheer incompetence, but I'm open to correction.
Has Mick Wallace blamed NATO yet?
Clearly this was a very secret operation because the Boards Putin bots have still not appeared spouting the party line.
There must be a serious scramble to get a unified response to this one.
Was it not Donbass separatists armed by Russian forces who shot down MH17. Not that it matters. All the one giant cannibalistic mafia clan as far as I am concerned.
Hopefully but I kinda doubt it, who's going to lead them?
Listening to the ride of the Valkyries no doubt..
A commie chef I suppose.
Was it not Russian forces who did this, unmarked. It was Prigozhin who called the whole thing a sham, so essentially the person who shot MH17 down is potentially the one who shot him down.
For all we know this is all engineered and this man is off with a fine wealth to live in peace somewhere.
I wonder if he maintained sufficient consciousness as he plummeted to experience any empathy for the passengers of MH17. Unlikely but one can always hope.
Putin must have genuinely feared further trouble to go to the extremes of having Prigozhin assassinated.
This is what I am wondering. Has this put a higher price on Putin's head. Could we see some senior wagner people offering their service to Ukrainian intelligence. Or will this act as a deterrent to others who might have been thinking about rebelling. I just wonder what the CIA would actually do if they ever got wind of a plot to kill Putin.
People had said, the rebellion was only on pause....
The person I feel sorry for in all this is Putin. Now he has to go searching for a new chef.
Christ it's hilarious the irony that these ultra "hard men" from such an openly homophobic country take orders from a man they call "Daddy".
Both plausible! Who can believe a word out of that rotten state.
You'd have to imagine Putin has prepared for that possibility. Cut the head of the more organised Prigozhin supporting officer class and you'll quickly quell any talk of rebellion.
Some unverified video. You can see some smoke? in the first second or so of the video (from an onboard explosion?) then the plane falls completely out of control to the ground.
