Apparently Prigozjin (Wagner boss) has died in a plane crash

Ghost of Kiev takes another life 😔

If he really is dead, then I can't say that I'm surprised; not after the adventurist stunt that he pulled off just a little while ago.

You'd think a man in his position would not be that naive, getting into planes and stuff. Oh well...
- After that even to go to the bathroom would be a life risk
- It's the other people I'm curious about. If I heard he was on my plane I'd have jumped out on the runway.
- Someone didn't read the trueanon rules for life

My face when I saw the news. Never felt so neutral about someone's death.

Lol its funny cuz he couldve been killed by any faction. Even other wagner members lmao.

Dude could have been remembered as a war hero. Instead he chose... whatever the past couple months were all about.
- Mercenaries are only loyal to money, the way i see it he tried to hustle all sides like a good mercenary would do.

from Chapter 12 of Machiavelli's The Prince

"The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way."

honestly no real loss, he was a merc shithead

lets hope that this turns out well

so sad

you think rules are suggestions? Planes are just sideways helicopters

I'll believe it when they show the body

But how will they confirm that it's him when Prigozhin is such a cunning master of disguise?
- That's just age-progressed brace. The whole temporary revolt was a trueanon bit
horror movie logic applies
- He gets put into the coffin and putin walks to taunt his body then heturns from the dead and chokes him
He would have made a statement by now. If he's not dead he's sent off to retirement somewhere that he'll never pop up again.

the worst take i've seen so far about that was: he should have marched and died in moscow, he would have gone down in history.

what history, whos history and how?

not surprisingly was from a statunian.

This is so adorably arrogant lmao
- yeah, that single man, martyric and manichean vision of history by muricans is so fucking dumb.

In an interview to TV in 2018, Putin said one thing is never forgivable, Betrayal

No fucking shot

~~Edit: this has got to be a dumbass journalist falling for some AI bs right???~~

Edit2: wow they really got him, rest in piss Nazi you won't be missed

Nope it seems legit. This has to be the wildest coincidence or just his punishment by Russia/The West.
- It's like an Agatha Christie novel where everyone has a motive.
  Hercule Poirogozjin: Death in the Clouds

Cue the “Putin Killed Prigozjin” articles and tweets. Maybe John Oliver will chime in too.

Who do we think was responsible? The libs in my life are saying this
- The plane just did that

Weird. Belgian news is reporting on this, but CNN isn't (yet)

Nor is Al-Jazeera. What the fuck did Belgium do lmao
Edit: Article by Al-Jazeera
- Belgium is the puppetmaster who in the end holds the strings.

RT reporting that he was listed on the passenger list of crashed plane and that there are no survivors https://www.rt.com/russia/581729-wagner-chief-plane/

The article does mention that they haven't fully confirmed that he was actually on that plane. And that there was a second one also with them. Even if he was listed on the one that crashed, it is possible that it was a ruse. Wouldn't be the first time someone that is a pretty big target pulled the old switch-a-roo for their own safety. But also just possible he didn't, and is now dead. Given the situation and his very public show of hate for the leaders of the Russian military. I doubt that any answer will fully ever be considered "true" as even super simple parts to the whole conflict are all sus.

In all seriousness comrades im a bit spooked about this, its a whatever event but also im worried about the real possibility of the fallout of this leading to a russian civil war, which for a country with nukes could go south and have consequences for everyone.

Why would this event possibly result in a civil war?
- it won't, the russian internal affairs are overblown as part of western war propaganda.
  people hyped too when there was the belgorod attack and the strange coup attempt with one tank and 40 dudes.
  as for if he is truly dead, the hows and whys, remains to be seen, gotta wait.
- wagner pmcs annoyed that putin just smoked there hero
Nah one of the oldest and most basic rules of mecenaries is "nobody fight for a dead man", even if he was really offed by FSB what will come next is just some stool shuffling and maybe new contracts.

At risk of sounding like an armchair analyst, that smoke at the beginning on what seems to the planes course before trouble, looks sus. Maybe SAM went flyswatting.
- This tells nothing about your skills at analysing armchairs though (I know I'm hilarious)
