DeForrest_McCoy,

This is ONLY the 677th time I’ve seen this posted in the last two days…Can someone do me a favor and post it 349 more times just so we’ve all seen it more than a couple of times.

Thanks.

sculd,

And nobody is surprised…

Syldon,

This is quickly going to be come Russia’s Epstein moment imo. Prigozhin has faked his death a few times now. He had a wardrobe full of disguise gear in his St Petersburg house. He could quite easily just vanish into Brazil.

Uniquitous,

Surprised it took this long, honestly.

akp,

I said the same thing to coworkers when they mentioned this

abbadon420,

Bbc : “presumed dead”

Lemmy: “he dead!”

MJBrune,

Realistically dead or not we won’t seeing him again.

Dankenstein,

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia’s civil aviation authority has said.

Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

The jet, which was flying from the capital to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

They probably don’t mind losing the crew and Piggy might have been the target (assuming this was intentional) but who else got disappeared along with him?

abbadon420,

Yeah I don’t think those were some random farmers who shared a private plane with the boss of Wagner

Raincloud,

The founder of Wagner, Dmitry “Wagner” Utkin, was also on board.

Dankenstein,

So, at the very least, our two good ol’ boys bite the dust at the expense of three crew members and five, could be, random others or support staff.

Seems a little expensive but it isn’t like the Ruskies haven’t had AA targeting issues before, makes it a believable (read: completely bullshit) excuse.

Ertebolle,

Feels like Putin's lost a step, this should have been a much more interesting / inexplicable death; crushed by a herd of elephants or some such.

I mean, that's great! But what happens to his army of degenerate war criminals? They just unite under some other scumbag? Hopefully, he was arrogant enough to leave behind no indication of what to do in an event like this, and they succumb to infighting. We can dream, I suppose.

Edit: spelling

jmcs,

Utkin would be a strong candidate but he also got a bad case of airplane crash.

2ndtryagain,

They are all headed to Africa to cause more trouble and try and get their own little fiefdoms. At some point the US, EU or NATO is going to have to go in and fuck them up.

Oh, he didn’t just “accidentally” fall from a window like usual? They upped the budget.

megopie,

No, the plane just accidentally flew in to an air defense missile that was inexplicably hovering at 10,000 meters.

FaeDrifter,

Man I hate running into air defense missiles, it’s such a downer

rynzcycle,

Ok, I'll do it...
He's alive and well and this is a bit of theatre agreed upon between Putler and him to save face in all directions.*

*This is a conspiracy theory and not at all based on facts, don't quote me or take it too seriously

AllahFucksKids,

I do aggree that he may be alive, but it could be because he was forewarned about this plane crash. This is certainly not a move made in unison between Putin and Prigozhin, only because now this is pitting Wagner against Russia. I think he's alive, but I think he's just trying to stay alive. I know it's a conspiracy theory but Russia has love for Prigozhin. Any number of people privy to the plan to shoot down his plane could have tipped him off. Either way, this is some SPICY fucking news. Bro, I need some milk.

argv_minus_one,

People are totally going to take that seriously.

kembik,

A plane crash can make it easier to claim an alive man is dead as there may not be a body.

I could see this as a means to keep Wagner troops loyalties in check, or just to keep everyone guessing. The most likely scenario though is that Putin did what Putin does which is assassination.

heartlessevil,

The body doesn’t magically disappear. Although it is probably in many, many pieces, this can be confirmed through DNA testing on small samples.

Mangosniper,

DNA testing that Russian investigators will do in Russia. And as we all know, they are trustworthy as fuck

heartlessevil,

Wouldn’t they want to do that to show off their work? Or I guess not so they can distance themselves from it and pretend it never happened.

I think its equally likely he was shot down/plane sabotaged, this is fake face saving thing, or the plane crashed due to shoddy mechanics. Whatever the case, the uncertainty works out in Putin’s favour.

And if this is a fake-out, I think it’ll be found out pretty easily. He is not so adept at disguises.

Idk, I kinda think he looks like Admiral-General Haffaz Aladeen in that second photo.

dark_stang,
@dark_stang@beehaw.org avatar

And I’m sure the investigation will reveal no foul play.

darko8472,

Different then exiting a window I suppose

pelotron,
@pelotron@midwest.social avatar

I think the plane fell out a window

Hy Progie…take a look at the view from here 👌

FaeDrifter,

The place fell out a window, and while it fell he fell out of a window on the falling plane.

Blizzard,

He could have exited a window on the plane.

Sicktatties,

Oh no! Anyway…
