Honestly, the only surprising part of this is that he died in a plane crash instead of being poisoned.

I mean, no evidence says he wasn't also poisoned yet

They say, "The dose makes the poison" and in large enough amounts even the ground is bad for you.

I'm shocked. Putin has never done anything like this before 🙄

Dude, no way.

My suspicions are, Prigozhin was assassinated on the ground, with proof delivered to psycho putin. He was never on that plane. He was listed as a passenger. Putin wants proof, not a charred "maybe".

He shouldn't have crossed Bane.

Prigozhin fucked up by not finishing what he started on his terms.
