The world evil.😢
your part of the mainstream media propaganda and misinformation network
Putin is justified
“Start” is a very apt word. Prigozhin didn’t carry out the mutiny all by himself, and forgiveness is totally alien to Putin’s make up. So Putin WILL go after hundreds, if not thousands, of Wagner members. While Putin is in power they will never be safe.
In short don’t mess with Putin
Thanks
MAM.Your words are clear.Give more videos on different issues of the world. Thanks
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Traitors End
Read history, understand. Putin is to Prigozhin like Hitler was to Ernst Rhom. Prigozhin had the Wagner, Rhom had the SA. The Night of the Long Knives….delayed
If Ukrainians had this ability, Moskow would alredy be in Kijv province. Nazis 🇷🇺have been killed by a Nazi🇷🇺🤡
Official ruZZian investigations are going to prove that Moscow was not involved at all in the tragic accident. The jet collided with a peace dove. The dove was drunk at the time of the accident. Everything is going to plan. De-nazification continues. Tragic loss of D. Utkin, too. He had interesting tattoos.
It’s simple. Anyone that questions and or threatens Putin dies
It’s obviously the same people who blew up the Nordstream pipeline. It begins with A and ends with a and is nowhere near either event.
💣💢🛩🔥✝
Start here
Plz do programes daily, you disappear for long
Or CIA’s cleanup job?
In russia air space?
Wagner shot down Russian Military planes during Mutiny in Rostov. Prigozhin+6 suffered the same fate 2 months later.
He’s probably in africa changing things and has to lay low.
Everybody is thinking 🤔that pregozin is dead but what if he is not what if every thing is a set-up to find the traitor inside Putin administration. What if pregozin decided to retired and chill with the money he got before and after the mutiny. What if?
It will be the perfect plot for a movie. Hi Netflix if your reading this you guys know what to do.
TURN THE PAGES PLEASE, TALK ABOUT THE COUNTER OFFENSIVE
Sleeping Wagner..time to take action
Wagner leader fought for russia, with ukrain and in return putin gave him dead sentence…
Is anyone suprised?
❤
Putin : its a Aeroplane Suicide
Dead in the head like Kennedy was back in 63
“He was a man with a complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in life.” You can tell he’s been waiting anxiously to give this eulogy😂
Cause of death: complicated fate resulting from having made serious mistakes in life.
he tried to outshine the master
@JoeCC he tried to outshine der führer.
When it comes to Syria & Ukraine, the Qatari government is on the same page as the US Democrats & West… often reflected in Al-Jazeera’s personalisation of these wars specifically to ”Putin” & ”Assad”. You’ll notice in the Start Here episodes on Syria you’ll only get interviews from opposition-aligned figures. It’s a mastering of propaganda, be objective most of the times so you’re believed when you do lie/mis-inform.
consolidation of power!
Pro-Putin puff piece. This just re-affirms my beliefs that certain elements in American government are working with Putin as well. Do we really want to live like Russia? Do we want a government in the United States like the Kremlin?
Putin lied about invading Ukraine. Money is made of minerals and plants the same as medicine has been and coinage tells history too. Russia has a nasty habit of invading and violating neighbors to make claims of people, not only land.
I think that more than Putin’s personal revenge what mattered the most was the timing of takeover of Wagner’s African operations , Uranium mines in Niger after the coup, Mali, Congo DRC
Who would have wanted Prigozhin dead! one minute in ….. Putin. Who would have wanted that everyones believes that it was Putin…..OTAN.
Что заслужили то и получат,войну-Карма
Unfortunately putting Putin in this sphere confuses even the assumptions of all intelligence strategy. Like for instance … Could this death be faked to protect the criminals from a possible trial at the Hague? Could it be a dress rehearsal to see how the international community would react if Putin Was to fake his own death? What’s really the point of faking all this drama which started with a fake coup? Was that coup the beginning of the withdraw to end the war in such drama so as not to appear as cowards but martyrs? Dessert is usually served last, I would not be surprised if Putin’s death is faked too.
Who cares, he ded.
Dont know anything what happens your news agency is behaving like CIA AGENT just doing guess
I think it makes putin weaker since it means his word means nothing. That’s why it’s possible it wasn’t Putin who k!ll3d him.
It’s also possible Putin did the wrong thing.
Putin Approved!!!
Hahahaha.. we may never know? Al Jazeera speaks for the Russia state … it’s definitely biased
In my opinion the CIA HAD MOTIVE AFTER PREGOZHIN RIPPED. THEM OFF FOR $6 MILLION??
You live by the sword, you will die by the sword. Condolences for the innocent life🙏🏾
He died not with this sword but by the terrorist dictator.
Who wasn’t behind it? Killers have enemies.
Just a countinue our realation in a grate answer im peter
Just a grate our day im peter
Up Next: “Water – Is it wet?”
On the web,
I found this👇
“The plane fell
out the window”
🙃
Putin did not kill Prigozhin think about it he was given a deal he took it and moved his operations to Africa. He was killed by western 3 letter agencies due to the coup in Africa. His men are far more powerful in assisting the military coup in Africa with his help. The west needed a distraction & a way to destabilise any movement of help given to countries like Niger, so ECOWAS can go in & take over. Putin could of killed him in Belarus but he didn’t or get a sleeper agent to take him out way before he could do anything.
VIVA Z
VIVA RED ARMY
Putin putting out the garbage?😂
Let us not discount the CIA….
I saw sereral Ukranians channels n wating Wagners to march on Putin now , hmmmm so this is what is going
…llooks like sombody in his crew are traitors, sold themselves to Pentgagon for $6 millions when they did the munity
Now they waetd to take his place and to macrh on Putin.. hmmm
looks Like Ukraians are so stabborn cannot stop by involving with prigozhin, either bribing some of his crew with %6 million from pentagon, or making Munity< or some provocations inside Prigiozhin crrew bcz he is the one streanth who destroyed lots of ukranians and Wester mercenaries and won several buttles for Russia . Putin needs him alive for that< Only Ukranians and westens wanted to bribe him (thorugh his crrew memebers) or to use him for Munity, for coup or to kill him but blaming Putin
Putin’s Great Revenge on wagner boss has been killed in the air crash
😍 Sandra 😍
Quite as it’s kept Putin watches YouTube video’s like this while popping bottles of “Grey Goose” Vodka
1:43, that’s the mark of a real gangster, the true Mafia kiss of death.
4:34, there’s the economy problems, then there’s Putin’s money, no problem.
👍 thanks!!
Could you also explain the Wagner group in Details?
I’d take Al Jazeera’s reporting on this seriously. Frankly, who knows murder and terrorism better than the Qatar government?
Takes one to recognize another. 👏
This guy has to be the biggest idiot in recent history. You served yourself up to your enemy. Why would you ever step foot in Russia again
The CIA is who took him out
Its is easy just blame Trump😅
Everyone already knew he was a dead man walking after the mutiny.
We know that putin who stay on his paths he destroyed the evil 😈 man 👨
The gravity of his situation finally hit him. 🤣
Oh my soul! Are you blind? How is the war going bad for Russia?
Putin never likes to have a potential opponent.. such incidents Common in communist countries…
This short analysis is well done. Thank you
We have an dutch saying here in the netherlands “fox loses his hair, but not his pranks”. So yes beware of russia or putin
With 99% probability, Putin was not behind the downing of the plane. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong when innocents were killed. Ukraine is fine, they have people in Russia who commit acts of terror and have murdered innocents in the past, who may have planted a bomb on the plane or it was an accident.
Can someone tell me this journalist name? Am a big fan of her.
Reporter: Mr. President Putin, what you could never forgive?
President Putin: Treason !
Reporter: Mr. President Putin, we received information that Yevgeny Prigozhin died in a plane crash!
President Putin: is it 6:30 pm already?
Done with the blessings and thanks of the CIA, I assure you.
I LOVE HER!!!!!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Al Jazeera should report on human rights abuse in Qatar
I don’t believe Putin killed him , we know they felt threatened by Wagner influence in West Africa
The man committed treason,punishment for treason is death, how that happens does not matter no need for speculation unless you have the proof,to this anchor,confirm your facts
Putin looks really broken up about it
Very common with mercenaries
They go out of control
def foul play, tampered the engines and electronics
Srry! I dont believe Prighozin is dead! have anybody seen his dead body!
Watch video…tail fell off.
Nothing particularly new here but good balanced reporting. I may start paying a bit more attention to Al Jazeera.
RIP 😢😢😢
Easy answer. Was Putin
Murderer vs murderer equals the devil 👹👹👹👽👽👽😈😈😈😝
May his Saul rest 🙏😞 in peace 🕊️
USA played smart move by killing Prigozin and thought of a simultaneous mutiny against Putin. But putin overplayed them. Nothing happened
SLAVA UKRAINE 👍❤️ the new Wagner group will lead no other than Putin himself🤔👍
