Shall we start a pool for his upcoming cause of death? The odds are favourable for falling from a balcony or through a window.
Sudden onset of late stage cancer. They'll lock him away in a hospital. If he gets mouthy they'll state that his medical condition is impairing his mental stability and they'll put him in a psychiatric ward so that he can't say anything until he dies.
It's been done many times before. The practice of using psychiatry as a tool of oppression started in USSR and never stopped. Same people are in charge.
... I guess Putin didn't hear the facts he wanted to hear.
I heard he supported Prigozhin's coup attempt.
Oh well in that case, it'll be probably a "suicide".
I thought the same thing about Prigozhin, but somehow he's still kicking. Either Putin is just biding his time or he doesn't have the ability to just whack anyone he doesn't like anymore.
Unless Wagner publicly denounces or executes Prigozhin, Putin wouldn't dare touch him. He needs that meat for the grinder and those guys obviously have all the kompromat about Russian ordered Wagner actions around the world.
Remember, they aren't just active in Ukraine, they have deployments all over the world. And up until now, Russia used them for plausible deniability actions.
Wagner probably carried out quite a few of these "mysterious suicides" Putin opponents have been running into.
He may have the ability but not the political capital needed to survive the blowback. Prigozhin is seen as a hero by some nationalist war mongers.
