Mans is slippin and losing his confidence

There was a time ten years ago when Prigozhin would have ingested some wild isotope that basically nobody knows how to make, and died slowly in a hospital in horrible disfiguring fashion. Putin would have said nothing, Russian state TV would have made a couple of snide comments, and everyone would have understood and not done a goddamned thing.

Now he's feeling like he needs to emphasize it. Yes, we know you killed him, and we've moved on. It's not that we just didn't figure it out.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that fragments of a hand grenade have been found in the bodies of people who died in an August crash of Russian mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane.

Putin added that experts investigating the crash found no indication that the plane had suffered an “external impact.” All 10 people on board, including Wagner mercenary group chief Prigozhin, were killed.

While Putin noted that the probe was still ongoing and stopped short of saying what caused the crash, his statement appeared to hint that the plane was brought down by an accidental grenade explosion.

Prigozhin’s aborted rebellion in June marked the most serious challenge to Putin, who has been in power for more than two decades and eroded his authority.

Exactly two months after the rebellion’s start, a plane carrying Prigozhin and his top lieutenants crashed on Aug. 23 while flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
