So I've been seeing reports that he's listed on the passenger list but no reports of witnesses seeing him board the plane from wherever it took off from?

This feels like a theatrical payback for all the aircraft Wagner shot down during their march to Moscow. There's no way it was a mechanical failure, the missile was the point.

Also Solovyov was just harping on the aircrew death last night   at the time it looked like criticism of Putin, which was very uncharacteristic of him, but perhaps he knew something in advance

in a war full of wild miscalculations, prigozhin's decisions during and after the march on moscow are probably the ones that were most immediately and obviously incredibly stupid i'm skeptical that he could have successfully rode the tiger of an armed coup, but thinking that he could just put the whole thing behind him and resume his life more or less as usual is the height of wishful thinking. imagine julius caesar crossing the rubicon and saying "it's comforting that i can take a mulligan"

^^^^^^If you don't already know that before you start your coup, you probably shouldn't be trying coups in the first place. GhostofJohnMuir posted:in a war full of wild miscalculations, prigozhin's decisions during and after the march on moscow are probably the ones that were most immediately and obviously incredibly stupid Yeah, if Putins goal is to surround himself with fools who are too stupid to be a real threat to him, mission accomplished I guess.

If he wanted to retire, a great way to do it is to fake being unalived in a plane crash and loving off to somewhere in Africa with a suitcase full of cash.

Yeah what the gently caress was Prighozin thinking? That you can march on the capital, force the government to detonate highways to stop your advance, shoot down military aircraft along the way, seize cities, and then just be like "ok well, point made, let's all move on and be adults about this." ? I don't think this death serves as that much of the deterrent tbh. If I was someone else with Prighozin's resources I'd be quietly thinking "I could have pulled this off because I'm not a loving idiot"
