Is anyone actually shocked at this news? The only surprise is what way will Putin's rivels die. Will it be falling out a window? Poison? Car crash? :dunno:

Rumours that Dmitry Utkin was on it too.

Amusingly the Russian trolls are already blaming Biden/Hillary/EU for it.

Even though it was Russian air defence? I bet the gunners smiled after he had downed 30 of their comrades a few months ago.

Talking of Russian air defence, did you see this beauty?

The video starts on initial explosion which makes you wonder what the hell they fired at a hi-tech defence system, it must have been low and slow. The comments in the thread have some suggestions.

I believe that the sword of Damocles is a form of phycological torture, the man was looking over his shoulder for the rest of his (now thankfully terminated) life. I hate Putin with a vengeance but I don't care who takes out a bunch of nazis no matter what their motive is.

It's taken out the entire Wagner high command, chemtrail missile evidence as well.

Fuck them.

I love the BBC warning ‘this video contains distressing images’. Anyone here distressed? Thought not. Whilst it’s a little unseemly to rejoice too much about death, I cannot say I welled up over it.

This from an apparent woke lefty. Why don't people get involved in actual things rather than culture wars?

The difficulty with that is defining the fascist. I’ve been called a Nazi, which would be comical maybe, I wasn’t really amused for some reason. I’d be even less amused to be shot for it.

I'm surprised he stayed alive for so long!

Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele said this is not the first time he is believed to have been in Africa since his failed armed rebellion in June, and this sort of incident was "inevitable".

"It's very curious what he's been up to since 24 June when this revolt happened, and I think he had crossed the line," he told Sky News.

"I think this was almost inevitable, I'm hastened to say."

Earlier, Mr Steele said a contract had been put out on Prigozhin by members of Russia's elite over the past few weeks.

Extremely rarely. But if it was your rabbit shooting anti fascist, it might only need to be once.

It's a lyric based on the Spanish Civil War, I doubt if you're worried about the average tankie.

All this infighting people falling out of windows people disappearing and so on must be a constant reminder to Putin that death is lurking in every step and in every breath he takes.
He knows he isn't fully in control of this kind of death.
Must be difficult going to bed at night and difficult getting up each day.
Must be difficult travelling just a few short miles and organising a few short meals.
What a way to live!
