Tim mocks the Kremlin's denial and Putin's odd eulogy calling Prigozhin someone who 'got the necessary results,' framing the plane crash as an obvious hit despite official cover stories.
- Prigozhin looked like a sommelier or maître d' despite being a warlord who cut people's heads off.
- Tim describes finding photos of beheaded people in Prigozhin's house, comparing him to Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now.
- Prigozhin started as a chef, made money catering to the Russian military, then founded the Wagner PMC.
- African warlords benefited from Wagner's security services in exchange for giving Russia mining rights.
- Prigozhin's trajectory: hot dog salesman turned high-end caterer turned billionaire oligarch who enjoyed killing.
- Putin's statement after Prigozhin's death called him a talented businessman with a complicated fate who made serious mistakes.
- The Kremlin's response to the plane crash: you just take a chance when you fly, implying no foul play despite the convenient timing.
- Putin knew Prigozhin since the early 1990s and credited him with getting the necessary results despite his errors.
- Tim notes Putin's praise of Prigozhin as someone who did the things that needed to be done to achieve Russia's goals.
