    Apparently it’s still not confirmed whether he was on the plane which sounds strange when Putin has sent his condolences to the family. 
    And the Kemlin said they didn’t do it. So that’s cleared that but up 🫣
    BBC latest summary:
    1. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says allegations that Russia gave an order to kill Yevgeny Prigozhin are “a complete lie"
    2. Wagner chief Prigozhin is "highly likely" to be dead after Wednesday's plane crash near Moscow, the UK defence ministry says
    3. But it warns there is "not yet definitive proof" he was on board the plane, saying he was known to take "exceptional security measures"
    When a plane crashes identifying isnt always that easy.

    This is the ultimate Mafia way of doing things. If one tries to overthrow his boss, he either succeeds or gets killed. The scary thing is, a whole immense country is run by a Mafia boss.😱

    At least he didn't fall out a hospital window like many others have done. 

    What really would have happened if he carried on marching to Moscow? 
    Not much, his army as such wasn't that great. The consensus was that he was expecting a wider mutiny and/or whatever army Putin had in Moscow to scarper and leaves the gates open. When they didn't he turned round. It bought him a couple of more months of life. 

    In other news, there's now a vacancy for the CEO of the Wagner Group.

    A wealthy fascist in control of a bunch of heavily armed criminals who committed atrocities on the citizens of Ukraine and Africa is killed by an even wealthier fascist. A cause for celebration.

    What happens to the African operations is more important.

    I can definitely see him being somewhere warm drinking a cocktail with one of his ludicrous wigs on
    It wasn't Trump.

    Sadly there will always be someone who will 'step up to the plate.'

    Are we sure? Have they ever been seen in the same room together? Perhaps Prigozhin dodged the plane crash, stuck a wig on and went to Georgia to establish the perfect cover story by getting arrested in public?
