The word "crashed" in that headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Feels like it's doing heavy falling

[–] Transcendant 6 points 1 year ago

The plane was doing a lot of heavy lifting carrying that head, fuck. He looks like that guy in the meme who borrows and returns 10 books a day from his library, increasing the size of his head with prosthetics each time.

Imagine the brass balls needed to work in war zones with a head like a sniper's dream

It's like a watermelon on a toothpick. I bet he was going home to cry on his oversized pillow.

It's like Sputnik!

russians dont know how to land things pass it on

[–] robocall 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

kinda buried the lead that pergozhin was on that plane too.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

And is dead. Jesus, guys, way to stick the landing on the breaking news story.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I thought that was strange, too.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty normal sort of thing to happen

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I guess ol' Vlad got bored of having people fall out of windows.

That is, of course, assuming the Russians were behind this; there's always a slight chance that it really was an accident.

narrator reads: it wasn't

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is larger chance, much larger I would say, that it was Prigozhin himself behind it. As far as I know, the was no confirmation that Prigozhin was in the plane, other then the passenger list.

I like the way you think. I'll wait for more news before opening the champagne.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

That like all of Wagners brains wiped out in one shot. Hahaha fuck em.

[–] Treczoks 3 points 1 year ago

Let's see how the Wagner troops react to this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They were not on that plane...

How will he complete chemotherapy now?
