[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[Is it PotG?]

Who'd have thunk it?

Apparently shot down by Russian ‘air defence’

They thought it was a Ukrainian drone

 

[sparkie]

Apparently shot down by Russian ‘air defence’

Payback for the Russian pilots he shot down ?

 

[raymondo]

I would never normally celebrate the death of a fellow human being, but I'll make an exception here.

His mistake. He took a shot at the king, amd missed

He should have kept on marching to Moscow...he wasn't as smart as he thought... I mean to say, he trusted Putin

Maybe linked to this from The Guardian.....

Russia has relieved Gen Sergei Surovikin of his command of the Russian aerospace forces, in the highest-level sacking yet of a military commander after Yevgeny Prigozhin’s abortive mutiny in June.

The extended absence and now removal of Surovikin, a prominent commander, indicates the shock waves sent through the military establishment after Prigozhin’s armed uprising. He sent thousands of troops to seize a military headquarters in the city of Rostov-on-Don and tried to march on Moscow to protest against the dismantling of his Wagner private military company.

Prigozhin’s public support for Surovikin, who was seen as an ally of the Wagner militia in the Russian defence ministry, had raised questions of whether he or other senior commanders had aided the mutiny, or at least had prior knowledge of Prigozhin’s plans.

Surovikin could have an accident soon...

Looks like Prigozhin is dead

Not falling out a window?

Maybe he fell out the window into the plane's engine?

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I would lay odds that the crew parachuted out and left him to it.

 

[franks brother]

That must have been a big window to fit a whole plane through

I'm surprised he didn't move somewhere a long way from Russia. I thought the same with Saddam and Gadaffi when it was obvious what the ending would be.
The other 9 people onboard, I would have decided not to take that flight.

 

[chickens]

He lasted longer than I expected. What a fool that man was. If he was going to march toward Moscow he needed to finish the job, death was always the only alternative ending.

I don't think there's proof Prigozhin was on it maybe he wants to disappear

Replace Prigozhin with Putin, and would you believe Putin had died in that crash?
No? So why would you accept Russian news that Prigozhin has died?

This could be a dress rehearsal for the main event, to be filmed and confirmed on a Russian state TV station near you shortly.

Just saw him mopping up the last bargains in B.Hill Wilko's.

Anyone who crosses Putin does not get forgiven do they? Biggest betrayal ever for him, can’t see Prigozhin having a cat in hell’s chance of dying of old age
