A bullet in the head or a heroin overdose would have been cheaper and had costs fewer lives, but Russia is Russia. They love their “accidents”.

In German we have a saying that's quite fitting in this situation I think:

"Tja."

Is it possible to find a situation for which the germans don't have a highly specific term? Does the concept of that situation have a specific word in german?

„Wortfindungsschwierigkeiten“ would work, literally just means „word - finding - difficulties“

It’s not exclusively made for this but is actually a word that you will hear out in the wild from time to time. For a more specific word we could say something like „Okkasionalismuslosigkeit“ which would translate to „The Absence of an occasional word“, but this is probably the first and last time that is used by anyone

According to an American agency, he stayed in a hotel without windows. So he made it hard for them.

Wagner Channels already announced another March of Justice™ in case YP ate shit.

Ended their message with "you better hope he's alive..."

Edit: Three separate sources confirmed Prigozhin and Utkin dead. Not only Wagnerites but also ultranationalists are calling for blood.

I would expect him to have some contingencies. He must have believed that none would dare mess with him.
