Local butcher says someone chopped up this cow and put it into nice little convenient paper packages with a bit of twine for the low, low price of $6/lb
I heard a Russia expert on some podcast talking about the biggest thing to Putin is loyalty. That is why Nevalni is in prison and Prigozhin is a collection of pieces in a jar. Nevalni is an enemy, a trouble maker, who after Putin tried to kill us now in jail. He'll probably die there, but Putin is in no rush about it. He doesn't particularly care about Nevalni. Nevalni was never disloyal because he was never on the inside, he's always been an outside agitator.
Prigozhin was in the inner circle, he had Putin's trust, and he betrayed it. He was disalloyal, the most serious of crimes in Putin's Russia. The Russia expert said Prigozhin like knew when he retreated that his days were numbered. But why did Putin wait so long? He doesn't like to feel like he's pressured to do anything, he likes to take his time and strike when he feels like it, to make it clear that he's making a decision to act, not reacting to circumstances. Also, he may have wanted to lull Prigozhin into a false sense of security, trick him into thinking maybe he had been forgiven. Prigozhin appears to have thought so, posting about how he and Wagner were staffing up in Africa.
Anyway, the dude is cold, or at least that's how he wants to be perceived. He's sending a message about the importance of loyalty to him. Same with the Russia spies who got the nerve agent treatment in the UK after defecting to the west - disloyal = the harshest death penalty.
Its a misconception that fluid means liquid. A fluid is a substance that has no fixed geometry, and conforms to the environment around it. If you adjust for time, you could make an argument that ice is a fluid, as glaciers flow almost like a river. Steam is definitely a fluid, as are all liquids and gases.
If you think about it, this really is the best way for him to get out of the spotlight for the coup attempt.
Plane crashed, everything is burnt to shit, some official list says he was on it, some poor blokes remains get buried, and he moves on living under a different name
I'm sure they'll find evidence of a Ukranian special ops team in their investigation. Or maybe bomb parts in imperial sizes, indicating American origin. It doesn't matter what the lie is; just that they have one that can't be questioned.
MOSCOW, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that investigators were considering the possibility that the plane carrying mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was downed on purpose, the first explicit acknowledgement that he may have been assassinated.
The plane crashed exactly two months since Prigozhin took control of the southern city of Rostov in late June, the opening salvo of a mutiny which shook the foundations of President Vladimir Putin's Russia.
Russia has informed Brazil's aircraft investigation authority that it will not probe the crash of the Brazilian-made Embraer (EMBR3.SA) jet under international rules "at the moment", the Brazilian agency told Reuters.
The day after the crash, Putin sent his condolences to the families of those killed and said he had known Prigozhin for a very long time, since the chaotic years of the early 1990s.
The Kremlin has rejected as an "absolute lie" the suggestion by some Western politicians and commentators - for which they have not provided evidence - that Putin ordered Prigozhin to be killed in revenge.
Followers of Prigozhin laid flowers, messages and poetry at his grave on Wednesday, hailing him as a fearless warrior.
