I saw the news. Although it's not a surprise, for some reason, I'm still a little speechless.

I would have never predicted this turn of events. It's shocking. </sarcasm>

War is a nasty business.

Wow, really, i am shocked, shocked i tell you.

Wow, really, i am shocked, shocked i tell you.

The ripples of shockilation are astounding, I tell ya, eh!

I wonder whether this could cause retaliation against Russia from the Wagner Group, assuming Russia is responsible for his death.

Either way, I'm not losing a moment of sleep over his death. He lived and died as a career war criminal.

It is surprising that this happened to Prigozhin after working with a trustworthy gentleman like Putin. The HR department of Putin's regime must be investigated immediately for tarnishing Putin's image and not respecting his employees.

Imho, that would be exceptionally foolhardy, but who knows nowadays. You know, it could also be mechanical failure. That part of the world is not known for its quality products (in general).

Aww, fair is fair, they can send rockets to the moon

I know, right? Such fun-loving folks. Putin is prolly torked because now he can't have his own version of Jan 6th hearings on what went down.

Yeah.... landing was a tiny bit rough, but they did get there. 1/2 points for showing, if not placing?

 

[RestlessSoul]

Wasn’t he supposed to be in Africa a couple of days ago? Must be racking up the air miles…

 

[Harel13]

I wonder if he was really on that plane. Something tells me this is just another twist in the Prigozhin-Putin saga.

It's not confirmed yet whether he has died. From the article in the OP:

Data shows second plane flew towards Moscow

Some Russian Telegram channels have speculated that Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin might have been on a different plane to the one that crashed today.

The other jet, another Embraer 600, has a registration number RA-02748.

The plane's flight records are partially inaccessible through FlightRadar24, a popular aircraft tracking website.

But data shows it departed from St Petersburg earlier today and flew towards Moscow. The trail disappears near Ostafyevo airport in the Russian capital.

The BBC has been unable to confirm if he was on board.

Air defence really can only shoot down civilian planes.
Utkin also seems to be dead.
Which means Muscovy has finally managed to kill a Nazi.

Worse still. No more delicious rugelach and sharlotka.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

There's a very strange inverse correlation of good luck to irking Vladimir Putin. It must be something metaphysical, because, I mean, what else could it be?

 

[We Never Know]

He will show up next week with Elvis in London(or somewhere).

Aww, fair is fair, they can send rockets to the moon

And crash them on it.
