If you are neurotic and heard about Prigozhin, you are probably saying Putin or the CIA shot down the plane. If you can't sit back and wait for more information and statements, you may actually be neurotic.

That being said, either hypothesis could be true, but we know the turtle won the race.

Turtles don’t win races with hares. That’s something turtles tell themselves to feel better while the hares are out there fucking all the hot lady turtles. Hares are much faster. You can check.

Guys, guys! It's just 5D chess!

Someone needs to read up on Occam's Razor. Russia isn't even capable of playing Tik Tak Toe let alone any kind of chess, 5D or otherwise.

Maybe Russia playing chess while it should be fighting a war is the reason why things are going so poorly for them. ;-)

Were the 2 pilots and the flight attendant also from Wagner or did they also kill 3 random citizens?

What if, the plane crash was just an actual accident and now Putin is frantically trying to find out who ordered him killed without his authorization.

I know it's not a likely scenario but it's an interesting one to wonder about.

Indeed, every one suspect somebody did this, but no one can speak before knowing more. Crazy poker move by someone.

Ukraine intelligence has been so fantastic lately that at that soon they will control every word that Putin says.

Someone is inevitable going to blame Priggy's death on Ukraine. I mean on NATO. Same thing really nowadays.

Prigozhin definitely deserved this. And no one can say they were surprised he met an untimely end.

So what is stopping Wagner from open rebellion now? I mean they are in multiple countries, with said armed forces on their side. Surely someone proposed such a scenario before the decision to kill him, right?

They're mercenaries and the best paying client is the Russian state. The whole point of being a mercenary is you don't care about who pays you and you don't have loyalty to anything but money.

Pretty weak way to kill someone.

When you have someone fall out of a window or commit suacide with multiple bullets to the back of the head you make a statement.
And that is that your guys can come and kill anyone personally and they can't do anything about it.

This is either because they couldnt get to him in any other way or because Putin needs plausible deniability because he can't make an example of him.
Either way it feels weak.

A deal might have been negotiated with some officers. Or maybe they considered that without a strong leader, the rest will fall back in rank. "Welcome back to the army, remember Bahmut?"

They were going to throw him out of the plane window, but they forgot to check if those windows could open. So instead of falling out of the window he had to fall out of the sky.

A second Wagner plane was flying the same route. Let's wait a bit.

I think what we're seeing is Putin looking to consolidate power and weaken the other factions within Russia. The Wagnerites have now lost important leadership and high ranking military officials that were sympathetic to them have been detained/replaced. We've also seen prominent figures of the nationalist faction in Russia arrested since the failed coup. He probably couldn't do this 2 months ago because he wasn't sure how loyal the rest of the military was/wasn't sure he had the support to pull off a move like this.
What do you mean Immortals can't shoot up?
