Preliminary findings indicate it wasn’t surface-to-air missile that took down Wagner leader’s plane.
The plane carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner paramilitary group, crashed as the result of an assassination plot but wasn’t shot down by a surface-to-air missile, U.S. officials said.
The preliminary U.S. government assessments, which officials stressed are incomplete, suggest that a bomb exploded on the aircraft or that some other form of sabotage caused the crash northwest of Moscow.

If a mob boss tells it’s ok, after you try and take him out, it’s really not ok.
Where was Vicky Nuland?
Where was Vicky Nuland?
Is old Russian saying: Revenge is best with chilled vodka and Ukrainian hooker while watching enemy crash and burn.
Yeah, VERY early. Where’s all the concern over sources and methods now? The guy was probably offed but why announce it unless you want to sow discord? Maybe the IC knows nothing right now and this is just propaganda.

And they still don’t know who was selling that cocaine in the White House...
If “American officials” say it, it is a lie.
I saw the video of the jet going down but no prior sight of a rocket hitting it. My initial thought was a bomb too......
Unfortunately, there were other people on the jet too......
In another breaking story scientists have determined that water is wet!
The Crate of wine that was put on the plane—the one with the bomb that took him down—was it French Wine perhaps? No Wagner people to oppose the Foreign Legion when the roll into Niger. A very French way to handle a problem—an accident.
He probably took his billions and quietly moved into retirement. Thats what was discussed in Moscow.
“Maybe the IC knows nothing right now and this is just propaganda.”
Almost certainly true - my guess at the scenario:
1. Prigozhin plan goes down.
2. Top-level US meeting - objective: to come up with the scenario that most damages the Russian government (meaning blame it on Putin).
3. Send words to Washington Post and NY Times to publish that and claim it’s based on ‘intelligence’.
Much more likely:
1. Not Putin - too messy, too many innocents killed, would be a career-ender if traced to him (due to the innocents being killed). Much cleaner to ‘Epstein’ him or use one of the many other options.
2. Someone who teamed up with Prigozhin and was afraid he might talk. Makes a line-worker at the airport an offer he can’t refuse, like getting his family back alive.
(and no, for you Karens out there, I don’t have sources or links)
Who and what to believe, eh?
Well, duh. /s
“Bomb”
Gee: What happened to all the scuttlebutt about the ‘inward holes’ & ‘missile trail’?
Oh, you mean that might have been propaganda after all, just as some of us suggested?
Whooda thunk. /s/s
Yes, they do.
The troubling part is that they know many believe it, and that nobody will hold them to account.
They also know exactly who is participating in the uke atm.
At least, that is the square the dart landed on.

Can a large, bold, charismatic, psychopathic, personality who is a billionaire simply disappear and live as a quiet unnoticed mouse?
