Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus said the plane crash that killed Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin this week was likely an assassination by Russian President Vladimir Putin and proved Russia is a “mafia state.”
“I think that Putin saw that his image — at the very least, if not the reality — was that he was seen as weakened by this. He was obviously directly challenged by someone he created,” Petraeus said in a NewsNation interview Friday.

No idea why this goof is popping up now.
Only if he says Prigozhin is dead, it only adds to that Prigozhin is alive and well, and the plane crash is pure FF.
What a lying, little weasel Petraeus is.
The USA is a “mafia state,” with career criminal Leftists in charge as they are now.
Hey Petraeus... what does that make our country these days?
I’d expected the guy to be shot on site, along with every last one of the mutineers? Stalin sure as hell would’ve. Beyond that, yeah, how about “Indicting the lead opponent for the next election on 91 bogus charges”?
We’re not much different. Our current corrupt rulers put (or attempt to put) their political rivals in prison.
Refresh my memory, why are we supposed to hate Petraeus?
He’s just now figuring that out??
So in other words not much different than the Biden Administration
I heard that the Russians arrest political opponents — and also their lawyers — for non-existent offenses that are tried before kangaroo courts.
And yet it is just now being reported that the US is training Ukrainians to fly F-16s, which we are supplying to Ukraine via Norway.
Oh, and who blew up the Nordstream pipeline?
Because he’s an idiot
Petraeus says Prigozhin killing shows Russia is a ‘mafia state’
~~~
Yeah Russia! Be civilized like the banana states of america and litigate your political enemies to death
And why is he an idiot?
It is a mafia country in every respect except the assassinations...oh wait..
This guy’s done nothing since the surge in ‘06. 17 years. Time flys by fast and we all have a limited time to make our mark. He didn’t.
Harry Reid was right. This war is lost.
