On Wednesday, a jet crashed north of Moscow killing everyone on board including, according to Russian state media, Yevgeny Prigozhin. So in this video, we’ll discuss what this tells us about Putin’s regime and how this might affect the war in Ukraine.

    CORRECTION: At 5:05, we show a video of a plane that we claim is Prigozhin's plane. This is a mistake – this footage is actually of a plane that was shot down during Wagner's mutiny a couple of months ago, and the correct footage is here: https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1694402110702387328/video/1

    It's also worth saying that the FT is currently reporting that US intelligence doesn't think the plane was shot down with surface-to-air missiles (https://www.ft.com/content/af341ede-933c-4bbc-b804-3ecbe5a66827 )

    Apologies for this, and we hope you nonetheless enjoyed the video!

    Its it a great irony that Putin used a mercenary group cofounded by a Neo-Nazi against Ukraine and their Neo-Nazis. Should have just said it was for control of the Black Sea and oil in East Ukraine and been honest.

    Why did they think reacting to someone's death with ☠️ would be appropriate?

  5. @JawaThePwn

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    I genuinely feel really bad for Prigozhin and Wagner. I wish they had gone all the way with their mutiny, instead of backing off.

    Uh… That's just a plain cross, not a crucifix.

    And the way he says "a crucifix was lit up" made me expect some sort of weirdly Orthodox KKK, burning an actual crucifix.

    Its staged by Putin and Prigozhin

  12. @MarkaNgamer

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    Are you sure he died? He already faked his death, and from a plane crash nonetheless.

  13. @lukus_gomlegi

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    How could this Prigozhin be stupid?

  14. @maskmanfive3774

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    Pregozhin maybe boisterous but probably not vainly dumb …. Maybe …

  15. @maskmanfive3774

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    But can we be sure Pregozhin is dead … And really really dead? Did we double tap?

  16. @diannef3361

  18. @cyberlord64

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    None of this makes any sense… Why now? Why on Russian soil when he could have been offed in Belarus or Niger and throw the blame on someone else? What's the message here? If Putin wanted to make an example out of him, why not just imprison him and make a public announcement? If on the other hand he didn't want people to know that it was him, why do it in a way that points directly at him?
    I will revisit this topic in 6 months cause right now I can't see the big picture.

    Putin and plane crash assassinations go together, it has been done before.

  20. @jaylm4112

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    No the second plane tried to escape by furiously zig zagging in the air as it closely followed the plane that was bombed.

  21. @i20010

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    He's not dead until we see a body.
    I dont believe a single word from the Russian front.

  22. @johnohman6638

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    Would have been really educational if you had shown a map of Mali and upon it shown the different areas affected by the three dissident groups, rather than merely saying there are three. I know it was a side issue, but 'twould've been good…

  23. @Vanyali

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    seriously
    you guys spend more time on sponsors and adds then yo do on video's

    So many misstakes in the video

  25. @alexlehrersh9951

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    ok why do we ignore the third theory that it was either Ukraine,Polnad,or the USA?

  26. @HummingbirdSound

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    He has doubles. Most probably, he struck a deal with Putin; he went into hiding under another identity, probably relocating at a luxurious stalinka stranded deep into Siberian territory, leaving all power and influence behind, taking away only a few millions cash and a couple of bodyguards in order to keep curious neighbors at bay, which means one of his doubles got killed in the plane crash. Maybe both the coup and the tension between him and Putin were staged and this was always the plan from the beginning. It wouldn't be out of the realms of possibility.

  27. @SwordQuake2

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    There's no proof he's actually dead.

  28. @johnreydelatorre3450

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    It seems too easy. Maybe an anti-Putin so it can easily blamed on him?

  29. @ArthAlexLp

    April 9, 2024 at 8:07 am

    You really think that the general of the most powerful mercenary company of the world with years of war experience would be so naive to fly over Russian anti air guns with his private jet with his name written on it? I don’t buy it, he is probably retired in some island in the Pacific Ocean

    Prigozhin changed his pronouns from he/him to was/were😂😂😂

  32. @seansmith3058

    The Ukraine stands against the Russian might, With courage, hope, and dignity they fight. They will not yield to tyranny or fear, They will defend their homeland and their rights.

    The Russians seek to conquer and oppress, With lies, deceit, and violence they strike. They have no honor, justice, or respect, They only care for power and their pride.

    But Ukraine will not give up or give in, They have a spirit that will never die. They have a history of strength and faith, They have a vision of a free and fair.

    The Ukraine is a nation of the brave, The Russians are a nation of the bad. They will not win this war, they will not last, The Ukraine will prevail, they will outlast.

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.
