    Who would have expected this? Surprised pikachu

    But the only one who opposed Putin (with any military power) being dead isn’t necessary a good thing (imho)

      Replacing one dictator with another who has the support of something like the Wagner group would not have been good for anyone but the Wagner group.

      The most surprising thing here is that nine people were willing to get on a plane with Prigozhin. That’s arguably much closer to actual suicide than any of the convenient window deaths that keep happening.

        Not really. Meet your new boss, same as your old boss. Lavrov has literally just been touring African nations.

        Probably wanted to get the new contacts in place before this event.

      Somehow I always thought they would poison him. More personal. But if he brought his own water, I suppose this saves everybody some time.
