Well Johnny, it's up to us then to use our common sense and separate the wheat from the chafe, in today's technological age 'they' have less chance of hiding things than hitherto.

Johnny, I seriously doubt anyone believes the news from Russia fullstop! I'm just surprised Prigozhin lasted this long.....unless he was on the second plane

Prigozhin and co are probably off somewhere, on some secret mission to take over the world for Putin, South Africa or the likes. Or they could even be burnt up in a shot down plane? Or, maybe laying in the sun on a beach in Spain?

Re: Today the world became
Why do people think that Putin is nasty, when it has always been the Russian way since they got rid of the Czar, Britain especially has always wanted Russia to collapse after what they did to the Czars family, I don't mean the people of Britain but the Royal Family and their acolytes. Even during the war I remember when the Germans were at the gates of Stalingrad they were touting that Russia was finished, they proved they weren't. Most of the reason for Russia's behavior lays with the West, since the end of the second world war in which they lost around 30 million people the West led by America with the Atlantic treaty has been trying to get a change of Govt there, you would think they would get the message and get tired of trying. Despite having to defend themselves all this time they are still the Fifth largest economy in the world.

Re: Today the world became
Since WW2 there have been a couple of Russian leaders who worked well with the west.
The one with the birth mark on his head was one such guy.
But after the events in Poland of the 'Solidarity' movement the West has no longer been flavor of the month with Russia.
When Putin first came to office he was so popular with the people he could do and say anything.
But since Ukraine and the embargos placed on Russia the people now think in a different way.
But to add insult to injury, Putin expressed his condolence's for all killed in the plane crash.
There were two flying, both private owned by Wagner, did they shoot the wrong one down by chance.
Was he smart enough to sacrifice others for his own safety??
