Russian Ukraine War

[northernblue]

Surprise, surprise, a plane carrying Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin "crashed" killing all on board. I'm sure there'll be a "thorough investigation" into the cause of the "crash".

Was it here @CSC at the time of the attempted revolution that someone wrote about “ … in news just to hand Prigozhin has been found dead by poisoning, next month…” ?
Ohh, Vlad ??‍♂️

Said Putin, "Really you're kidding me, I'm shocked at this news of my good friends demise! Workplace safety is a serious issue, there will be a full investigation."

But in a sombre follow up later in the day, Putin reports. "Hopes are low of a outcome, it seems that unfortunately the mechanic who last worked on the plane has taken his own life from the enormous grief over the loss of so many great Russian compatriots!" "I would like to remind our citizens that no matter how bad it seems, there is always someone to talk to!" Please never hesitate to call "FSB Lifeline"

In another extreme event of fate, it seems flight safety investigators failed to make it to the crash site after the steering of the Lada Niva they were driving failed sending them into a roadside tree at extreme high speed. Reports from first witnesses on the scene described the crash as so violent it was like the car exploded, there were no survivors. This even left Putin furious,

"I'm extremely disappointed, it seems this vehicle was only recently serviced but it looks like they used inferior US and German made parts. So, I'm moving to ban these imports in favour of quality the superior but more expensive Chinese made components! I started a privately funded company using my own life savings to import, check and inspect all spare parts are of sufficient quality to save Russian lives, if needed we will funnel all components through this new entity, whatever it takes no matter how much it costs me!"

Anyone who crosses Putin et al generally ends up with a nasty case of death.

Just surprised they didn't use the old 'fell out of a hotel window' method. 

Perhaps they were very keen to demonstrate the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to remind potential opponents of the consequences for backing the other side....

Interesting.  Everyone goes straight to Putin as cause of death, but no one thought to consider that this guy might simply have faked his death to defect.

Who knows, but not many planes crash, so either its a fake crash, or it was shot down.

Wagner co-founder, commander and Nazi sympathiser, Dmitry Utkin also died in the crash.

I guess that leaves a bunch of murderous, heavily armed mercenaries on the loose in Belarus, Africa and the Middle East.

The status of Wagner supporter and Russian military 2IC, General Sergei Surovikin (aka General Armageddon) has gone from “resting” to “retired”.

Another small gain for Ukraine …

I think we all know with 99.99% certainty which it one it was.

[Thryleon]

We wont even know with certainty if he is even dead!

You think you can trust anything you hear "on the news"?

I can't believe folks go straight to the conspiracy theory and blame all sorts of people.
Sometimes these things are just tragic 'accidents' :  :
Very sad...for any 'innocents' that might have been on board.

My heart bleeds buckets of p*ss at the demise of a murderous, butcher, warlord.
If he is indeed 'demised.'

Strange that the one thing he did right in the whole war, is the one thing that might have finished him...and number 2.

According to a former British spy, a contract was taken out by Russian oligarchs.

I wonder if what’s left of Wagner will retaliate ?

More chaotic times ahead?

The Wagner Telegram channels are reporting that it was the Russian military who shot it down, if they wanted to fake his death it would be far more likely to be written that Ukraine hit it.

This though is a great day for Russia and the world and a day of celebration. This guy needed to be dead, he was one of the most evil people on the planet and his death is not one to be mourned. The world's worst case scenario was that he one day took over from Putin. This would have triggered world war iii

There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that he is dead and it was not an accident.
