    Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia's civil aviation authority has said.
    Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

    Funny I just commented on that from a previous comment I made at the time of the Wagner revolt . The comment was 'When you shoot at the king you better not miss.

    No radioactive substances in this case, just good old fashioned heavy metal ingestion.

    Plane crashed are a convenient way to silence opposition . Just ask Dorothy Hunt ;wife of E Howard Hunt ,who organized the Watergate break in.

    What happens to the Wagner group now ? I am not even all that concerned about their presence in Belarus. They have had a heavy hand in the Syrian Civil War ;and have fomented coups in the African Sahel region ;most recently in Niger

    Borged ! good word !! turning a Star Trek race's conquests into an adverb.

    It is fitting I guess. Ukraine troops have been calling Russian troops Orks since the beginning of the war making a clear distinction between good and evil even though the war is far from that clear cut.

    Might be angry over the killing of the big cheese, or completely intimidated and saying in effect that they get the message.

    And so it is door number two. Putin knows how to play this game very effectively. In the meantime, Mr. Biden needs a nap.
