Had to know it would happen sooner rather than later.
I’m just surprised the plane was shot down in Russian airspace. Putin’s not even trying to hide his assinations anymore.
I’m surprised it took this long, I thought he’d be dead within a week of his failed coup.
I was kinda’ surprised he made it out of Russia at all after that. Putin really did look weak vs his regular MO.
They don’t hide them, they just deny them despite all the evidence to the contrary. Usually while sneering.
He’s never tried to hide them. That’s the point.
Right.
This assassination wasn’t revenge, it was a threat, to anyone else that might be thinking about a coup.
