  1. This is a great way to die for a leader! Bravo!!

  2. NATO must stand down an accept defeat Ukraine is unable to do anything but loose more life's. Trying to bring up this monsters death is meaningless. He shot down a plane full of civilians he had it coming ten fold. EDIT: Wagnor is extremely successful because they operate without leaders is this man a fool? Wagnor is what we have called blackwater its the same thing just different sides of the fence.

  3. *Song Title:* "The Devil's Bargain with Putin"

    (Verse 1)
    In the heart of Georgia, where the wild winds blow,
    Young officer Putin, his ambition yet to show.
    Met an old babushka, eyes deep and wise,
    But beneath her shawl, the devil in disguise.

    (Chorus)
    Traded soul for sovereignty, a dangerous game to play,
    For every action, a price to pay,
    In the cold Russian nights and the stark light of day,
    Putin’s destiny, forever led astray.

    (Verse 2)
    In a clearing, a grizzly fierce and grand,
    A challenge of might, in that foreign land.
    Putin stood tall, gave all his might,
    But the devil's deceit turned day into night.

    (Bridge)
    The bear, unbeatable, its power unmatched,
    But Putin's spirit, the devil had snatched.
    A sly trick, a fateful twist,
    Putin was down, his pride amiss.

    (Verse 3)
    Then came the offer, too tempting to deny,
    Russian Sovereignty, reach for the sky.
    But every deal has its catch, its curse,
    For Putin, things would only get worse.

    (Chorus)
    Traded soul for sovereignty, chains he couldn’t see,
    Every move shadowed by tragedy,
    His allies fall, his friends in agony,
    His heart's intentions, lost in irony.

    (Verse 4)
    Dreams of peace, with Ukraine so near,
    But the devil's voice, ever clear in his ear.
    "If you dare to make peace, Ukraine will fall,"
    The weight of his curse, a never-ending brawl.

    (Outro)
    In the Kremlin's shadows, Putin stands tall,
    Haunted by happenstance, destiny's cruel call.
    For in that Georgian wild, a deal was cast,
    Putin's legacy, tethered to the past.

    (Note: This song is a fictional representation and doesn't reflect real events or beliefs about Vladimir Putin.)

  4. According to a Belgian journalist Bruno Breeckman, Progozhin was planning another coup, according to his sources. Could explain why his plane was taken down.

  5. Anyone who believes a word out of the American media is a fool

  6. Putin is too smart For the Americans they’re gonna be exposed soon enough by the way that border wall is not to keep out the people of Mexico it’s to keep you in

  7. What does William Burns think 🤔.

  8. I do not care what US officials say. It is usually not true. Here is more important information available our fake news do not report that.
    Meanwhile, I am reading a report from Punch newspaper about the most "transparent" and "democratic" world leader.

    " Zelenskyy’s family has acquired a luxury villa in “the city of millionaires” El Gouna. According to the investigation, Olga Kiyashko, whose name matches the name of Zelenskyy’s mother-in-law, owns a VIP estate worth $5 million. Political scientist Abdulrahman Alabbassy concludes that the president’s relative purchased the estate with the humanitarian aid funds allocated to Ukraine by the West to repel Russian military aggression." The deal was closed in May 2023. This is what we pay taxes for in Canada

  9. This is like some James Bond crap coming to life.

  10. I doubt if another coup will arise, people are afraid, even Russian soldiers are scared.

  11. You could get on a plane tomorrow and 99.9% you would get there ok maybe 98.9, try a mutiny against Dr evil and as plenty of others before who have gone against him, your plane crashes, please ,

  12. Der KGB steckt hinter dem von Putin angeordneten Tod des Wagner-Gruppenführers

  13. I know Ukraine is loving it😂😂

  14. Then our South African president trust the murderous Russian president!

  15. Progozhin is dead my friend, you can call me Joker! 🃏

  16. If Putin did it or not nobody knows. We can only assume. But In all fairness, would the united states let a man walk freely if one commits treason?. The us is trying to jail Trump, a man who has only wanted a free and fair election. He only called the votes to be counted fairly. So don't preach your self righteousness to the world.

  17. How can Americans say it was not a missile when Forensic examination and pathologists describe the victims bodies all contain shrapnel injuries. ALL!! NO bomb could do that and push metal inwards through the plane, it would all be going outwards…

    ???????,

  18. China labs in California before we care about Putin 💯

  19. The biggest mistake putin made in his life ,was invading Ukraine

  20. Russia doesnt have labs in California that were busted with aids Covid and anthrax 👀 yall know its the CCP thats why reports say officials are censoring the labs. Wee are not Russian. We dont care a dude died on the plane 👀 i thought that laptop was a Russian hoax 👀

  21. if russians really love russia they will fight to remove putin. he just murdered his own

  22. It’s crazy they can just say he’s evil and literally happy he’s dead cause he’s bad guy from USA perspective. But to Africans and Russians there the good guys so if they blow up a marine and say yay he’s dead that’s evil we blow up there soldier though and they should be happy logic please?

  23. I dont forgive betrayal !
    Vladimir Putin

  24. The west bussy about prigozhin 😂

  25. "Lead to another coup?"
    You can always dream.
    I am not Russian, but I believe President Putin outsmarts your Alzheimer stricken president.
    And you know it!

  26. This guy they say loved killing people by hitting them over the head with a sledge hammer……😮….so like the…. "joe of arc" type of guy….

  27. Russian President Putin said Prigozhin made serious Mistakes now that sounds like a murder plot Putin killed Prigozhin he was killed by the highest Rank in Russia Bomb on Board now you got Russian Military taking over the Wagner Group that who helped to killed Prigozhin.

  28. Could it be Ukrainian secret service?🤔

  29. CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA this is what happens to those people who helped African liberate themselves from the white racist white supremacist Western countries colonialist imperialist white trash eurotrash American 0:20

  30. Prigozhin's only mistake is going half measure during the coup. He should've went full ret@rd against Putin.

  31. I like how conspiracy nuts don't realize that even Wagner fighters themselves KNOW Putin is behind it, and absolutely ZERO of them are pointing fingers at the US. As always, "Russian unity" is a mere fantasy.

  32. What is similar today to yesterday, almost three decades ago, the retired General Alexander Lebed tried to turn against Yeltsin, and a few months ago Prigozhin tried to turn against Putin, all of them died because of the control of a helicopter that was carrying them. Glory be to God, as if history repeats itself

  33. Gangsters in Paradise🎉😂😮
