      In a totally unexpected turn of events his plane tragically had a catastrophic failure. Nobody could have seen this coming. Heartbreaking.

      After his almost thunder run to Moscow that turned out to be just a prank bro (and sorry about the russian military aircraft we shot down on the way!) he and Putin agreed to live and let live as friends do. Putin invited him and those rowdy but well meaning PMC friends of his to enjoy a nice peaceful retirement in Belarus. Putin is a man of his word so there’s no way that has anything to do with this.

      Has it been confirmed that he was one of the victims? From what I could see I the news here they haven’t found his body yet.

        Ru mod, BBC, and wagner confirmed and there are telegrams in Russian confirming, but I mean, it’s Russia.

          I’m not sad that he’s gone but I kinda hoped he’d take out Putin with him. Shame he didn’t push on 2 months ago, he really seemed to have Putin by the balls at that point. Oh well, guess Putins time will still come at some point.

          Also, how incredibly dumb of them to put the entire leadership group of their mercenary army in 1 plane. Made them a real nice target for Putin to hit.

            Pringles always held firm to his statements that he was rebelling against the military leadership underneath Putin and that Putin and him were still totes BFFsies for life
