It'll be interesting to see if the Wagner Group will now fall in line or if Putin just poked a hornet's nest.

I've been following this on Russian- and English-language sites. Nobody but BBC alleged Russian responsibility, and they cited no evidence. Remember when Boris Johnson personally tanked peace negotiations?

Good riddance, though a plane crash seems like a relatively easy way to "kill" someone while they go into hiding.

Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone

Is this related to The Grey Zone?

Hopefully the same thing happens to Putin next.

What's fucking hilarious is that I called this as soon as he backed down. On the former place, lots of people talking about how confusing it all was and I'm like nah he's gonna die in an "unfortunate" plane crash.

He should have gone all in. He should also have known that you can't cross Putin like this and not expect retaliation.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't on that plane. Doubt that the guy was so stupid as to fly inside Russia openly.

Based on witness testimony, when he arrived to wreckage, found people were moving bodies from wreckage, sounds like someone wanted visual confirmation.
