  1. JFK WHY are we friends with Russia 🤔

  2. For someone in EXILE, he seemed to like hanging around Moscow. 😂

  3. the center fuel tank blew up

  4. I LITERALLY said this past month just about every time we brought this guy up “He has less than a month to live”. It was an absolute certain fact he would of died and still not accomplished anything.

  5. And everything that happens in res t of world…america is definitely behind.😮

  6. Putin milked all the secrets out of him, nothing more to find out, learned who all the traitors were so allowed Prigozhin to fly ! Did Prigozhin know he was flying? Did the aircrew know Prigozhin was onboard! * Putin's message to Russia–don't mess with me!!

  7. In the game of thrones, you either win, or you die

  8. Moral of Story:
    Never trust a Trump, Putin, Xi, or little Kim!

  9. He f***ed around and found out.

  10. As a Native American I’m sad for this no matter what was at fault…

  11. Plane accidentally fell out of skyscraper window. 🤣😂

  12. Ukraine drones, got next to it , and 💥..down it went..like a Stone

  13. I’m just thinking out load here but it seems like it isn’t a not a good career path to start a mutiny against Putin

  14. Sad to see anyone die. One sure thing that awaits life is death and whatever you sow in this life you will reap.
    After all the drama surrounding the Ukraine war he finally died in his own country.

  15. That's why America is greater than all other nations. Left and right unite behind the red white and blue! (I)

  16. Please don't ask Biden about anything…because Biden doesn't just talks and doesn't even know what he's talking about..the man needs to retire..

  17. Why would he even try rebelling against Putin?

  18. What was Prigozhins final words. SHOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  19. Putin has nowhere as much power and influence as the former Soviet Union and modern US, China, Europe, and now India.

    Any thug or terrorist can shoot down their own planes to scare their own people. If he were as crazy as the fictional KGB agent he protrays, he would have attacked anything with an American or British flag on it.

    He won't. It's not because he will lose a war, which he definitely will lose against NATO. He won't for the same reason Kim Jong-Un won't attack South Korea: Xi Jinping won't support it.

  20. Prigozhin should never have booked the window seat.

  21. imagine being a pilot and seeing Prigozhin step onto your plane…. Feel Sorry for the pilot and other passengers in that plane!!!

  22. The alphabet LGBTQ mafia has everything to do with all of this genocide of white heterosexuals.

  23. This wasn't a plane downed by a military jet. It was just a "special landing operation"

  24. Prigozhin was a radical, broke the law, but he was not a traitor.Of course, all sofa experts will say that the evil Putin is to blame for his death. In their opinion, Prigozhin's helicopter could not have had an accident or become the object of a terrorist attack.

  25. He faked his own death

  26. I bet he plane was either intentionally shot down, or it was sabotaged by Putin’s cronies.

  27. Russian missle launchers don't get along with planes remember?

  28. I thought planes tried to stay AWAY from Russian/Ukranian Airspace after MH17….

  29. Ladies and Gentlemen, SOMEBODY got them…

  30. After many years of watching international news, I have come to the conclusion that one should not show dissent toward Winnie the Pooh or his best friend Pucking or you'll end up dead.

  31. Did he really think that Putin wouldn't have him killed the first chance he got? How stupid are these guys?

  32. Putin rubbing his hands together right now in a bubble bath with candles and a blunt from Cali
