[Tall Timbers]

Russian paramilitary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his top Wagner Group commander died in a plane crash on Wednesday, according to Russian aviation authorities.

"An investigation into the Embraer plane crash that occurred in the Tver region this evening has been launched. Russia's Federal Agency for Air Transport confirmed," per state-run TASS. "According to the passenger list, the first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list."

A senior European official surmised to the Washington Examiner that it was an "assassination."

I suspect Putin waited until Prigozhin's guard was down and he felt "safe", then arranged for this in a specific time and place where Prigozhin's group could do nothing to help him.

This is one reason why I say the first rule of war is: DO NOT forget whom you are dealing with. Everyone thought Putin was "ill" and "weak" and "old & tired"; he just demonstrated that he's still the same cunning KGB agent that he was when he was younger.

Western leaders (and the rest of the world) would do well to pay close attention here. Russia, after al, is the land that excels at chess.

Yes, with the Putin government conducting the investigation I am sure the results will be beyond reproach.

Well, that didn’t take long did it?
What’s next? We shall see.

Report: Belarus Began Dismantling Wagner Camp Before Alleged Yevgeny Prigozhin Death​

Satellite images taken over Belarus on Wednesday suggest that organizers had begun to dismantle a large tent camp believed to house Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) mercenaries, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) reported, potentially weeks before the reported death of Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin.

The tent camp RFE/RL identified, believed to house Wagner fighters, was located in Tsel, Belarus. The U.S.-backed outlet cited the satellite image company Planet Labs as taking photos of the camp on Wednesday, which showed “that of 273 specialized military tents — each of which houses up to 20 people — for personnel, 101 had been dismantled.”“That would mean space for just over 2,000 Wagner fighters would have been eliminated. Some 5,000 troops were thought to have been settled at the site,” RFE/RL explained, adding that the status of the camp on Wednesday suggested that the dismantling “most likely started on August 1,” not the day of the alleged Prigozhin plane crash.

Putin has sent his condolences to the families. How sweet. Wow he is just like a mob boss, sending a ham to the family of their hit.

The whole thing has been strange. We will never know the real truth of all of this.
