A plane carrying notorious warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose Wagner group launched a failed coup against president Vladimir Putin in June, has crashed on a flight from Moscow to St Petersburg.

All 10 people on the plane, including three crew members, died in the crash, Russia’s emergency ministry said, according to state newswire RIA Novosti.

Russian officials said a man with Prigozhin’s name was among the passengers, without elaborating further.

It had to crash

Especially after it was hit by a S-300 battery.

How convenient. Crossing Putin is as smart as crossing Hillary.

In another life I learned to believe nothing of what I hear and half of what I see. His name was on the passenger list. Him, a guy who really really needs to disappear. Could be true… Or could be him vanishing with a plausible excuse. Might be real and a lot of people would be happy with that on both sides of the Russia western divide. But I can’t say it would shock me if he turns up in Africa a year or two from now, or living in Dubai. Interesting times we’re living in.

My prediction, the Wagner group will dissolve rapidly. This time next year, it wont exist.

“Did he know Brian Epstein?”

Hell, he knew Epstein’s mother.

And the "war" will linger on, draining more lives and more billions from Americans.

Forget about Africa or Dubai. Most likely scenario is that he ends up running a pizza joint in Brooklyn, NY under an Albanian name.

The United States probably killed the guy for not following through with the coup that the CIA paid for.....
This is plausible.
