I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't on that plane. Doubt that the guy was so stupid as to fly inside Russia openly.

I wonder what sort of brute will replace him.

not suprising

Well, who would expect that something bad happens to him....

Man, I can't help myself comparing this to the opening of The Dark Knight Rises (that one guy injected Dr. Pavel's blood/DNA, and then sacrifices himself).

I've been following this on Russian- and English-language sites. Nobody but BBC alleged Russian responsibility, and they cited no evidence. Remember when Boris Johnson personally tanked peace negotiations?

No, everyone else just says it between the lines instead. Hinting at it if you will.

Maybe it's just dangerous to be above the ground in Russia. So many people are mistakenly falling out of windows these days.

I have to ask, who else these days? b/c I fear we are demonizing Russia, Russians, and Putin the same way we demonized Iraq, Arabs, and Saddam Husein before our awful foray into that country. UK and France have been actively discouraging Ukraine during peace negotiations. See for yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_negotiations_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

Yes, poor Putin, the innocent victim in all of this, he doesn't deserve to be demonized. Quite frankly, it's Ukraine's fault for being invaded.

and just to make it incredibly clear. That was sarcasm. Because I'm a little worried you wouldn't be able to pick up on that.

Ah, poor NATO citzen, having their spoon-fed, govt-approved view of the world challenged by someone who actually pays attention to what the rest of the world says. Wallow in your ignorance. I'm done.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

As a matter of fact. I'm not a NATO citizen. Try better.
