#2 No way a hand grenade inflicted that much damage to that airplane. Just would have poked a few holes in it. Ripping the tail section off is a full pound of Simtex or C4 so FSB or GRU operation. Either Russia is lying their asses off to deflect their involvement or Prigozhin sacrificed his top Wagner people to disappear.

Until proven otherwise I think Russia still killed him.

#6 said they found 10 pounds of coke at Wagner HQ

Honestly, I really wouldn't be that surprised if they did.

#10 I don't know any more...I mean, honestly, are we really sure Rasputin is dead? Stalin? Russians do lie a lot.
