  1. Hopefully something like this would not happening to Trump.

  2. NBC Spin Doctors ⚕️ Comedy Show 🎭

  3. He was a war criminal, good riddance.

  4. I beg that Putin is behind this!!!!!!!

  5. it was a "special plummeting operation."

  6. Plane component show damage consistent with S2A missile or fragmentation charge detonation

    Plane literally disintigrated in air. Keep watching the linked video and watch it fall out of the sky. Tail and both wings missing.

  7. As Prigozhin's plane was falling from the sky, I wonder if he had time to regret his decision to back down from the mutiny.

  8. Putin hired Steven Seagal to dress as Bane and board the plane

  9. What about the contrails visible in the video?

  10. All those mysterious deaths of those Oligarchs over the past 2 years…..Yup, this one also has Mad Vlads name written all over it!!

  11. I guess Putin doesn't care if some innocent people are killed as long as he gets his target??? I thought I heard a case of wine was delivered to the plane just before takeoff that may have contained a bomb???? Is this the current theory?

  12. Conspiracy theories are bad for democrats unless they are about Putin then they are obviously true. Signed – Not a republican

  13. Hillary might have been at his planes departing airport ! She dose it untraceable.

  14. Possibly an assassination by a government? No way. As an American where this has never happened, I am appalled. I love trust and appreciate all American intelligence agencies. They operate with admirable integrity.

  15. Do you think this guy didn't have loyal underlings and instructions on what to do in case of his death? If I were Putin I'd be nervous.

  16. The first plane to fall out of a hospital window.

  17. A new debate does anyone in Russia have the courage to save their country by replacing him or does anyone else have the fortdatude to X him out. It's hard discussion but we're here work it out.

  18. For his secert he no longer cares for his physical being only his resume and what he leaves in his wake.

  19. For your own sake as well 💨

  20. You know how many soldiers and people shifted their personal opinion of you sense this started and you may not care. But your money doesn't protect your family they do so next time be very sure

  21. So rich so powerful that was a waste you wasted a good man, fuel, a plane, time, media coverage for something else, and energy
