    So he releases a video of himself in Africa. Then a plane with his name on the roster flies from Belarus to Moscow gets shot down. Anyone know if any planes belonging to Wagner flew from Africa to Belarus recently? This might be trick.

      The likelihood he was anywhere near the location where he was filmed is slim to none. These guys are always moving after they record something, and are long gone by the time it is released.

      Why he was dumb enough to re enter Russian airspace is a separate matter.

      Yeah my wife is convinced he wasn’t on the plane and this is subterfuge. I think Putin had him shot down to make a point, as he’s done with pretty much every other real threat he’s encountered.

      We may never know…

      How do you know when the video from Africa was filmed? Also, if it’s really Africa?

      I just heard on the news the plane was confirmed to have been in Africa just recently. Also please explain, why a trick since both the Russian government and the Wagner leftovers confirmed it? The guy signed his death certificate once he cancelled his little Moscow tour two months ago and we all know it.
