    If he really is dead, then I can't say that I'm surprised; not after the adventurist stunt that he pulled off just a little while ago.

    You'd think a man in his position would not be that naive, getting into planes and stuff. Oh well...

    from Chapter 12 of Machiavelli's The Prince

    "The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way."

    the worst take i've seen so far about that was: he should have marched and died in moscow, he would have gone down in history.

    what history, whos history and how?

    not surprisingly was from a statunian.

    Cue the “Putin Killed Prigozjin” articles and tweets. Maybe John Oliver will chime in too.

    RT reporting that he was listed on the passenger list of crashed plane and that there are no survivors https://www.rt.com/russia/581729-wagner-chief-plane/

    In all seriousness comrades im a bit spooked about this, its a whatever event but also im worried about the real possibility of the fallout of this leading to a russian civil war, which for a country with nukes could go south and have consequences for everyone.

    Why would this event possibly result in a civil war?

    The article does mention that they haven't fully confirmed that he was actually on that plane. And that there was a second one also with them. Even if he was listed on the one that crashed, it is possible that it was a ruse. Wouldn't be the first time someone that is a pretty big target pulled the old switch-a-roo for their own safety. But also just possible he didn't, and is now dead. Given the situation and his very public show of hate for the leaders of the Russian military. I doubt that any answer will fully ever be considered "true" as even super simple parts to the whole conflict are all sus.
