I would love to say this could have consequences for Putin, but I suspect not. Everyone saw this coming a mile away | ||

Or did he need to stop like rumoured because the FSB stormed all his officers family? | ||

And nothing is going to happen because of it. A shocking amount of oligarchs have died in the last year and a half. Another one is not going to make a difference | ||

Also, completely pointless because ti will never happen because Russia has the nukes. Which also makes the whole need to attack for defense such a dumb "logic". I agree but I think the issue with simulations is that they are like weather forecast, you can simulate accurately part and few days but the chaos always comes up at some point. It's like we know how to answer but we don't know how to formulate the question. Conflict with Russia, where would the conflict happen and what would be the targets? | ||

Another one is not going to make a difference He was in a very special place though. I agree nothing will happen, but this is something different than any previous oligarchs. Bad news for some African dictators as well :D | ||

If this were a novel, I'd probably consider it bad writing. But this is reality. Humans are sometimes very mysterious creatures. | ||

In telenovellas he would reappear from the dead and the identified body would had been his twin :D. I'll believe he is dead when Zeo and CaptainWaffle believes he is dead. Rofl | ||

I usually don't have a conspiratorial way of thinking, but it would make sense and usually Putin leaves an identifiable body to prove a point. This is a new approach and obviously not an accident. Footage looks like missile damage or bomb in the passenger or cargo compartment. If he's really dead, good riddance. Edit: My money is on a bomb. | ||

Equipment failure is believablish but bad timing right after than moon trip fails and India's succeeds. Just straight up admitting they offed him might be the best? Why would anyone care? Its not like there is a big ole contingent of Russians who really love their oligarchs. They might as well care about whether Putin clipped his toenails today. That would be more relevant to the average Russian. | ||
