I've seen bigger mutinies in the sandbox of the local kindergarten.

I am not convinced this was anything beyond two comrades taking advantage of Western bribes and money.

Look world I mutinied, now give me all the money you offered me.

Here Vladimir take your cut, I'm off to Cuba to retire.

Then NATO gets pissed.

Omg... The cheek of you

Now we need it to look like we mean business otherwise the world will think we have no backbone.

Let's crash a plane and claim they're dead and make it out that it was Putin instead.

You can't make this stuff up.

It’s very obvious the New York Times is the propaganda unit for the CIA. Somehow they think we’re too stupid to realize they are the terrorists that are hurting America.

The jet went down the same way the Nordstream pipeline blew up. Sometimes, these things just happen...

So it's another one of those "look what evil Putin did!!!" episodes.

Well I'd say it was CIA.

Just speculating here, but I recently read that Prighozin was helping the people of Niger in their rebellion against Imperialistic exploitation. Perhaps that’s why he was killed?

Freudian slip (pic), anyone?

Pic of the CIA director. They’re the likely culprits.

As usual, fake news and lies from NY Times.

Their breadcrumbs usually lead to their desired conclusion, not reality.

1. On 21st August, Prigozhin appeared in a video from Africa on Telegram (mark the date!): https://t.me/IntelRepublic/26234. Yesterday, on 22rd August, this video was republished on Reuters channel on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v3adnit-russias-prigozhin-posts-first-video-since-mutiny.html Question: Why would Reuters republish this video with one day delay and with no subtitles? Well, here are the subtitles, read it carefully: https://rumble.com/v3a74wy-pmcs-wagner-head-yevgeny-prigozhin-declares-that-africa-will-be-free.html

2. Why was Prigozhin in Africa? Here is the context: https://rumble.com/v3ai0z0-bad-news-for-ecowas-pmc-wagner-getting-ready-in-africa-approaching-niger.html

3. Before that, on 5th August, Prigozhin showed incredible insight in Africa, speaking about the attitude of France to Niger: https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses/29746 (Prigozhin speaking on the phone: read the text beneath the video if you don't understand Russian or French)

4. And this is what Prigozhin said about US interference in Africa (8th August): https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses/29912

It is perfectly clear who had the motive (see the policy of the West in Africa, including Niger). The fact that the plain crashed on Russian soil is indicating false flag operation.

Actually this is a great opportunity for recognizing which alternative media are compromised (payed trolls who spread Western propaganda), they've exposed themselves, so watch carefully and take notes on which channels we shouldn't trust. We can also use this opportunity to analyze how Western propaganda machine works (smears, spin, disinformation, etc.).

The WSJ provided the whole loaf, "Social media channels close to Wagner stated that Russian Air defenses shot down the jet." https://www.wsj.com/video/watch-wagner-boss-yevgeny-prigozhin-killed-in-russian-plane-crash/C8A89A7B-D77E-44D0-A8F2-C9927486B519.html?mod=djemwhatsnews

It’s not pantomine season yet already is it? Still digesting the photos of the moon landing. I want to book the same photographer who filmed the landing. I want to book him for some photos of Uranus for my virus album

The bodies of Prigozhin and his second-in-command Dmitry Utkin, have reportedly been identified, according to statements which have been quick to come out of Russian media. Russian news agency TASS has also made it official: "Evgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin were on board the crashed Embraer plane, the Federal Air Transport Agency reported." [Utkin was the military brains.]

And concurrently: (Mysterious. We should wait to see. Tomorrow is Ukrain'e national-holiday.)

After significant internet rumors emerged Tuesday, Russian state news agency RIA confirmed Wednesday that Gen. Sergei Surovikin has been fired as head of the country's air force. He has been "missing" - or believed under house arrest, since the Wagner mutiny events of June 23-24. He had for months prior overseen Russia's war efforts in Ukraine.

"The ex-Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces of Russia Sergei Surovikin has now been relieved of his post, Colonel General Viktor Afzalov, Chief of the General Staff of the Aerospace Forces, is temporarily acting as Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces," RIA reported based on single unnamed source.
