No easy task to push an entire plane out a window.

[denniswinters]

This is how bad people treat each other.

[My-Pal-Hal]

He Didn't Die in the Plane Crash.
He accidentally fell out of the Window. And they are just getting rid of the evidence 😂😂😂

[rgwak]

Meanwhile at maralardo...t'rump is fuming that he couldn't do the same to his rivals.

[tessbabcock]

I'm just a simple housewife who barely follows politics...but when my husband explained the situation of cutting a deal with Putin, I laughed and said "Sure...where he'll fall out of a window." Come on...who didn't see this coming?

[RobertDixon-swdz]

His indecisiveness cost him. No surprise .

[paulbird]

This is WHY the Ukraine cannot be allowed to fail, they must win this conflict at all costs.

[bryanstarke]

Truly sadistic! The plane fell out of the sky completely in tact, except a wing was missing. It just aimlessly spun around as it fell out of the sky. That would be twisted AF if the cabin, fuselage never depressurized. If that were the case, all the passengers would have a good 30secs to think about their impending death... I bet Prigozhin had the time to say to himself "Putin, you SOB"

[charlesmartin]

Prigozhin's plane crashed. Oops how could that happen? Easily.

[joerogain]

My thoughts and prayers to a such a waste of such a perfectly good plane. Amen!

[ssnyder]

The only tragedy here is the lives lost of those innocent crew members.

[GrapefruitSoundLab]

Serious question for the Ambassador: could they be faking it?

[WeeWeeJumbo]

Dmitry Utkin's dead too, huh?
such a brutal end to these brutal men

[Clickclackisteh]

It turns out Prigozhin had the jet repainted to fool his enemies. "Air Malaysia" probably wasn't the best disguise for the plane after all..

[burtharbenson]

Thank you ambassador for being the only person in the mainstream media to tell the truth about the mutiny itself instead of parroting the lie that it was a coup directly against Putin.

[americangirl]

Prigozhin probably should have finished what he started... He might still be alive!

[stephen]

We don't know who shot the aeroplane down, really, do we?

[barbmoody]

Thank you general McCaffree for calling for major armaments to Ukraine!

[joerogain]

[bowlampar]

A dead man walking becoming a dead man flying is such a surreal turn of event.
