    In German we have a saying that’s quite fitting in this situation I think:

    “Tja.”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a plane which crashed in Russia, killing all 10 on board.

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

    Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.

    This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.

    A bullet in the head or a heroin overdose would have been cheaper and had costs fewer lives, but Russia is Russia. They love their “accidents”.

      Based on the past events where they shot their own planes I wouldn’t discard a mistake and not even intended.

    Well. Who would have thought. Then again, that seems a pretty cliche way to go. I would have thought he’d make it harder for them.

      According to an American agency, he stayed in a hotel without windows. So he made it hard for them.

      I would have thought he’d make it harder for them.

      The guy is on the West’s shitlist and then got himself on Putin’s shitlist too. Where is he going to go?

      The West probably isn’t going to assassinate him, but I suspect that he’d likely be heading for a courtroom and later jail cell over some of the things that Wagner did.

      https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2023/02/03/ukraine-prosecutor-general-prigozhin-wagner/1181675434937/

      Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General has filed charges against Wagner mercenary group head Yevgeny Prigozhin. The organization is accused of war crimes in Ukraine, Syria and Mali.

      Maybe you can hide somewhere, but that’s a lot of parties out there who would like to get ahold of you.
