    If he really is dead, then I can’t say that I’m surprised; not after the adventurist stunt that he pulled off just a little while ago.

      My face when I saw the news. Never felt so neutral about someone’s death.

      Dude could have been remembered as a war hero. Instead he chose… whatever the past couple months were all about.

    from Chapter 12 of Machiavelli’s The Prince

    “The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way.”

    the worst take i’ve seen so far about that was: he should have marched and died in moscow, he would have gone down in history.

    what history, whos history and how?

    not surprisingly was from a statunian.

      Nope it seems legit. This has to be the wildest coincidence or just his punishment by Russia/The West.

        It’s like an Agatha Christie novel where everyone has a motive.

    Cue the “Putin Killed Prigozjin” articles and tweets. Maybe John Oliver will chime in too.

          It’s really easy for them (the planes) to catch bird flu up there, they (the birds) just don’t want us to know how common this kind of thing is.
