    Honest at this point I wouldn’t even blink if Prigozhin popped up in the future to tell us they faked their deaths.

    To be clear, I believe that he’s dead (and that it was probably an assassination by Putin), but so many other outrageous things have happened already little surprises me.

      I’d hoped he piloted a Kamikaze plane into Putin’s card fortress so both of them could go to hell to meet Hitler whom they admired so much

      That’s the first thing I thought when I heard about his death. He should have known that Putin would likely want him dead, so pretending to board a plane that gets shot down is a pretty good way to fake your death. Does he use his fake death to plot revenge or to escape, never to be heard from again?

    Here we go again.

    It will end not differently than last time.

    When they had their leader, they might have had a chance to taking down Putin. Maybe. Slim chance, but a chance. Now they are fucked.

    Still would be nice to put a hurt on the Russian military.

    As long as they’re not killing Ukrainians, then I guess yeah, go do whatever…

      It actually did. They only stopped because he made a deal with Putin. They covered hundreds of kilometers in hours.

      That IS successful to that point. They were just so f*cking stupid, they thought Putin wouldn’t kill them anyways for the betrayal… If he had even 1/6th of a functional brain, he should’ve realized the MOMENT he abandoned his orders in Ukraine, it was him or Putin.

    The less wagnerites operating on Ukrainian soil the better. The less wagnerites helping illegal migrants to cross Polish-Belarusian border the better. The less wagnerites the better.

      Fuck wagner but also fuck the polish border guards for murdering migrants.

      I dont give a fuck if they’re considered “legal” or not - they deserve to be treated like refugees not like a political pawn for both sides.

        I don’t give a fuck about your considerations either. Our border our rules. Also lol’d at “killing”. If anyone died there it was because of their own stupidity of trying to cross it from Belarus which isn’t a war torn country but they didn’t want safety but rather monies from western Europe.

    They’d be more effective taking over Belarus if they really want to cause Putin problems.

      The Wagner group are absolutely not Ukraine sympathizers. They’re just another group within Russia with the same ultimate goal as the current regime; they just want to be the ones in charge. Nothing would change if the Wagner group were in power in Moscow.

    Flight attendant Kristina Raspopova, 39, told her relatives of the unexplained hold-up, indicating that the aircraft was being “repaired” before the flight, according to VChK-OGPU Telegram channel.

    Sounds like something I’d do if I wanted to plant a bomb for insurance, js.
