The 2023 Russian Coup.

[Magnus McGinty]

The broader conclusion is that this will drag on and on and on.

Desperately sad and nightmarish for those directly involved.

Depends how long Western largesse lasts, and the results of the US 2024 elections if the cheques are still being signed by then.

Ukraine are making gains one treeline and trench at a time and are repelling counter attacks while Russia is finding fake military gear in their warehouses to outfit their poorly trained soldiers. Ukraine should have had the weapons a long time ago instead of a bit at a time. Now they're waiting on air power when it should already be there. What Ukraine are doing is actually remarkable considering. For anyone who's been paying attention to the war the whole thing has been sobering.

No they’re not, They Haven’t even broke the first line of the Russian defences and aren’t the Americans making excuses for not delivering the F16s ?

Yes, they are and they have.

Au contraire. Weren't so many people here claiming a fall from a window would do for him?

Perhaps Putin has taken a leaf from editor 's book and the 'more originality when banning posters' thread?

Fall from a 35,000 foot high window...

Technically some of him may well have passed through one of the windows at some point.

Maybe that's why the plane crashed?

Interestingly, the official removal of Gen. Sergei Surovikin, the commander of Russian air force spaces, was announced, or at least became news, literally a few minutes before this crash.

Surovikin was an ally of Prizoghin and rumoured to be well in the mix/knowledge of the 'mutiny'.

No idea which other passengers were on board but presumably the crew are just collateral damage? The Kremlin are fucking insane.

The subeditor had “hit by potato lorry” in the sweepstake. You can’t blame them for wanting proof. Everyone put in a tenner!

Indeed. Is that the BBC front page (which does say feared)? Inside, it says 'presumed'.

I reckon they'll change the front page.

It's perfectly sane, just stone-cold ruthless behaviour. If men like Prigozhin are expendable in the eyes of the Kremlin, then the mere flight crew of an aircraft are going to be utterly beneath any human consideration.

The Mail is always the go to for breaking news like this. they don't give a fuck about lawyers/fact checking. that looks pretty definitive on there. That's been shot down.

Or is this what the BBC calls 'balance'?

I think you'll find that it's a special military landing

But what was he wearing, as he kittenishly plunged to his doom?

 

[Bingoman]

The reporter on Sky News said about 20,mins ago that their where reports that the Russian air defence may have shot the plane down?

His Colonel Gaddafi wig and beard.

Have we found out how much his houses are worth yet?
