Wagner group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is dead…down in a private plane…decimated, in shards and pieces, flame-roasted.
Of course Vladimir Putin was behind it…of course he was!
Russia is a mafia state, and this was a hit. Putin was planning to terminate the 62-year-old Prigozhin ever since the Wagner Group mutiny. He just took his time, is all.
Full disclosure: I know nothing, of course, but are you going to sit there and look me in the eye and tell me this was an accident?
Business Insider: “The CIA’s director predicted last month that Putin would seek revenge on Yevgeny Prigozhin after his failed coup.”
Al Jazeera: “Wagner group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was among the dead when a private plane crashed in Moscow’s Tver region of Russia, killing all 10 people on board.”

Late last June Prigozhin led a brief mutiny against Russia’s top army command — an event President Vladimir Putin said could have tipped Russia into civil war.
Al Jazeera: “The mutiny was ended by negotiations and an apparent Kremlin deal which saw Prigozhin agree to relocate to neighbouring Belarus. But he had appeared to move freely inside Russia after the deal nonetheless.
“Grey Zone, a Telegram channel linked with Wagner, reported the air defences shot down the Embraer aircraft in the Tver region, north of Moscow, BBC reported.
“The jet, bound for St Petersburg from Moscow, had seven passengers and three crew on-board.”
