Putin Claims Wagner Chief Prigozhin Accidentally Killed Himself By Drunkenly Playing With Grenades on Flight.
Breitbart: Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested on Thursday that Wagner private army boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and his men died when, while probably drunk and high, they accidentally set off a grenade during a flight that exploded and killed all on board in August.
Putin has blocked international investigators from examining the wreckage of the flight; his claims were based on a Russian government assessment of the remains of the plane.
Yevgeny Prigozhin – the long-time Putin ally who led one of the world’s largest and most active private military companies and who turned his army from the war in Ukraine to march to Moscow in protest, he said, at mismanagement at the Ministry of Defence – reportedly died in August in a plane crash over Russia. Observers, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, began to suggest almost immediately that the crash was not an accident, but a mopping-up operation against the leaders of the mutiny by the Putin regime. Some suggested an anti-air missile and planted bomb aboard destroyed the plane.
Putin, speaking in Moscow on Thursday, claimed he had been briefed by the “head of the Investigative Committee” and blamed Prigozhin himself for the crash based on the evidence they provided him. more
Who stands to call Putin a liar? Shitpants?? The NYT, CNN, FAUX??
It’s as if the walls of this entire planet are smeared with feces. Just like all those expensive office bldgs in DC.
Amateur.
I say it. And you must say you believe me or go to prison.
In Russia, the grenade kills you,
Vlad should’ve said that Prigozhin hallucinated seeing Daleks out on the wing, took out his sonic screwdriver, and removed the window. That would’ve been more believable.
Get outta here! At least come up with something semi-plausible.
I would have gone with a Russian roulette theory.
^ 5 dummy grenades and 1 real.
You should keep your grenades in the baggage hold so accidents like this don’t happen.
Sounds more plausible than an empty fuel tank exploding.
“Putin has blocked international investigators from examining the wreckage of the flight…”
Gee, did “international investigators” examine the wreckage that took the life of Ron Brown during the Clinton years?
Impressive. Putin only took a few weeks to think up a sellable story. Obama took over twenty years to come up a fake birth certificate story, 25 years to think up a lie about the birth of the kids.
Tony R, how did Ron Brown end up with a bullet to the back of his head after the plane he was on crashed. Explain that bullshit lie to me, he knew too much and was about to spill the beans so the Clinton’s Arkancided him.
Compared to the lies about people killing themselves by hitting themselves 15 times with a hammer, or stabbing themselves 20 times including in the back of the head. Or shooting themselves in the back of the head and then jumping in front of a train, this is way more believable.
All the witnesses to the JFK shooting died early….hmmmm! The women in Hawaii who claimed obozos birth cert was real only one to die in plane crash. Come on.
Russian Roulette with hand grenades!
It sounds like Max Cleland was reincarnated..
There was a rift between establishment military leadership and Wagner leadership. Putin had to back the establishment (for obvious reasons) even though Wagner leadership was connected and very good at the work. Once a demonstration was made, marching on Moscow, the die was cast. Not because Putin wanted it that way, but order and stability demanded it.
At least the Russians did it the old fashioned way, the leadership paid the price and the men returned home, or to the establishment military. Unlike here in the ‘progressive’ west where there are never any consequences for leadership and the men are imprisoned or executed.
Sudden depression and two shots to the back of the head as a suicide? Hanged himself from a tree and put two rounds of 12 gauge in his chest, another suicide? Opened the border, no charge, terminated oil production, no charge. Persuaded your unstable kid to cut his dick off and prance around in a skirt? No charge. Opened a war against a nuclear armed peer/near peer adversary? No charge, sorry about that economy and your futile hopes for the future, proles, shut up and get in line for ze bugs.
No charge for you, you’re safe, only the minions and the deplorables pay around this Christopher Robin ten acre wood daycare center and home for the infirm aged… come to think of it, we can hide some bodies in a ten acre wood…
Putin should have said that it wasn’t a missile, but instead an explosion in the center wing fuel tank. That’s the American way.
I’ve known some Russians.
Playing with a live grenade on a plane would not be out of character.
