      Local butcher says someone chopped up this cow and put it into nice little convenient paper packages with a bit of twine for the low, low price of $6/lb

    I heard a Russia expert on some podcast talking about the biggest thing to Putin is loyalty. That is why Nevalni is in prison and Prigozhin is a collection of pieces in a jar. Nevalni is an enemy, a trouble maker, who after Putin tried to kill us now in jail. He’ll probably die there, but Putin is in no rush about it. He doesn’t particularly care about Nevalni. Nevalni was never disloyal because he was never on the inside, he’s always been an outside agitator.

    Prigozhin was in the inner circle, he had Putin’s trust, and he betrayed it. He was disalloyal, the most serious of crimes in Putin’s Russia. The Russia expert said Prigozhin like knew when he retreated that his days were numbered. But why did Putin wait so long? He doesn’t like to feel like he’s pressured to do anything, he likes to take his time and strike when he feels like it, to make it clear that he’s making a decision to act, not reacting to circumstances. Also, he may have wanted to lull Prigozhin into a false sense of security, trick him into thinking maybe he had been forgiven. Prigozhin appears to have thought so, posting about how he and Wagner were staffing up in Africa.

    Anyway, the dude is cold, or at least that’s how he wants to be perceived. He’s sending a message about the importance of loyalty to him. Same with the Russia spies who got the nerve agent treatment in the UK after defecting to the west - disloyal = the harshest death penalty.

      He also probably waited a bit to see who else might be emboldened to stand up to him.

      He probably saw the coup as an opportunity to weed out any undesirables who expose themselves in favor of Wagner. As we all know, nobody stepped up.

      Would’ve been interesting if at least 1 high-ranking official joined in with Prigo.

    If you think about it, this really is the best way for him to get out of the spotlight for the coup attempt.

    Plane crashed, everything is burnt to shit, some official list says he was on it, some poor blokes remains get buried, and he moves on living under a different name

      They also confurmed it with DNA. Then again, a bottle of vodka to the right person, and the DNA test says the bloke who got buried was mr. Pringles.

      There is zero chance he’s still alive everyone saw the videos before the coup no way he stays quiet if he’s still alive

        I mean, it was a terrorist attack. Its just that in this case, the terrorists are the ones doing all the talking and investigating.

        I’m sure they’ll find evidence of a Ukranian special ops team in their investigation. Or maybe bomb parts in imperial sizes, indicating American origin. It doesn’t matter what the lie is; just that they have one that can’t be questioned.
