    Prigozhin is well deserving of the fate that befell him.
    Treachery comes at a high priced, especially when you begin to act in ways that reveals the intention to usurp or bite the fingers that fed you.
    Prigozhin was made by Putin, then he became a threat after the failed mutiny, the consequence was obvious and he knew the price would be his life. He knew his days were numbered and probably did the best he could to see that his family was spared from the blowback of his treason. I believe he certainly pleaded for his family and that of his associates. He knew he wasn’t beyond Putin’s reach anywhere in the world, and i bet he decided it was better to die in Russia than living anywhere else in the world as a decedent.
    There’s so much to learn from his story, whatever made you could also break you, never overestimate your relevance.
    Stay humble!!!

    The video of the hit on the plane shows smoke of the explosion as an external strike, that is the hit was marked by still smoke. An internal explosion would stream from the plane/wing leaving a trail at the time of the strike and continue.
    Putin was giving condolences before the bodies were even removed from the plane and ID confirmed, there is not doubt it was Russia. Putin said Prigozhin made some bad decisions....The two planes were over Russia and the incident occured to only the plane carrying Prigozhin, the outcome from the black box will not correctly be made public and Russia will not do so just like MH17, they will deny for ever any involvement.

      That's what i think the whole time.
      Just recently things heat up in Niger, Burkina Faso where Prigozhin, Russians in general have things going on. Of course along with US, France.
      There is a chance he could be dead, i just don't believe it. Russians are masters of secrets as any government is but especially Russians knowing their history.

    There was a man
    In Russia not so long ago,
    He was rich and bald,
    And could do anything he want!
    Pri-Pri-Prigozhin!
    That who scared Russian King!
    He thought he was so rich,
    That he couldn't remain in peace!

    3:31 legal grounds..... I believe that's not Putin's style. His style is arranging "accidents". He was after all, a former KGB officer. Anyway, all of us will follow Prigozhyn one way or another.

      Yeah it's not just about getting rid him, it's about making a statement. It needed to be something dramatic.

      @@tiffanylaserna1288 Correct. And any method that would be effective in short order would be facilitated.

      Correct....in jail he'd be a focal point at trials & appeals and just be a constant reminder that Putin lost his grip, albeit temporarily. Now he's completely off the board.
