Well if Putin says this, I’m changing my vote from bomb to missile.

Or maybe it was a missile whose payload was a grenade.

Yeah, like some sort of rocket propelled grenade!

This is an interesting idea but it would suck to have to type it out each time, so we need some kind of acronym. Maybe Grenade That Is A Payload of Rocket (That Also Propulses It). A GTIAPoR (TAPI)! You always want to be sure you have a TAPI version of a GTIAPoR, otherwise it's just a harder to use grenade.

Here's a handy way to tell if something's true or not:

Is it true?

  • Did Vladimir Putin say it's true?
    No: Possibly true, acquire more data
    Yes: 100% categorically not true

Vladimir Putin has suggested the plane crash that reportedly killed his former ally Yevgeny Prigozhin was caused by hand grenades - and not by a missile attack.

Huh, so it was a missile attack after all. Interesting.

Seems a little overkill to use grenades on them after their plane crashed. /s

Well, there's your problem

Big ol' black eye to the Russian TSA then, I guess.

What kind of hand grenade can rip a wing off?
