      Much like Sadam before him, he has a number of body doubles so even if it did appear he was assassinated in public, probably get some story about a miraculous rescue and recovery if acknowledged ‘Putin’ was in the area at all.

        Only if I’d wish if Musk would be in it right? Since it’s a limo, it would have been great if Putin, Trump, Vance and Musk would be in it.

          Let’s rebuild the Titan sub and restart important exploration trips to the Titanic! That’s a great idea for the uber rich! We all want to know what happened to the Titanic in great details. I have a super Nintendo knockoff controller they can use this time around. Also make it out of aluminum and do high pressure oxygen tests with the crew inside. I hear those are fun events.

      He will die of illness before the world finally turns on him

      Now that our government is his closest ally, his sick imperial dreams will live long beyond his vile life

        Nah, Finland and Sweden joining NATO and Russia burning up almost all of its Soviet horde mean russia is pretty much done for as a major military power. They can sneak little bites of their unallied neighbors but they will never be the world’s second strongest military again.

          He literally now has the largest military by at least twofold backing him

          How do none of you realize how dangerous drumpf’s replacement of the top military brass was. All you did was meme and now he will bend our entire nation to propping up his russ crush

    Now they’re getting it - blow up putin - end of war and Ukraine prevails. Also, trump and his entire criminal organization no longer have the backing and deviousness of putin and fail. America wins. The world wins.

    Let’s not miss next time, okay?

        I read an article, how Putin never sleeps at the same place twice. He selects a random house for the night, then kick out the people living inside. So nobody ever knows where he spends the day.

          There is always someone who knows. Even if that rumor was true, he would obviousl never be there alone.

      Blowing up Putin would be nice but it’s not a guarantee the war would end. It would lead to a power struggle in the Kremlin, no doubt, but there are loads of hawks in that regime and many are much more extreme than even Putin.

      Of course, a more extreme war hawk might end up benefitting Ukraine by hastening the collapse of Russia. Or it might lead to nuclear war. It’s really hard to predict exactly what will happen.

    The headline is mistaken. I checked out an article with photos from the scene.

    The limousine was authentic. The place was nice, a few blocks from the FSB headquarters.

    But there was no “tremendous explosion” - the car just burnt. Every house had its windows intact, the car itself had its windows intact while burning, etc.

    Explanations: technical malfunction, passer-by with fire cubes and a lighter.

      What’s a fire cube? I’m guessing you’re not referring to the Amazon Fire cube…

        I probably don’t know the correct term in English. It’s a product for starting a fire in a wood-fired stove or campfire. A rectanglular block of wood fiber soaked in oil.

    I’m amazed no one has pointed out the possibility that this was staged by Putin himself as a prerequisite to enforce greater surveillance, military and police presence, claim opposition and Ukraine to be terrorists, and so on. This is, besides a malfunction, much more likely than a failed assassination attempt that went this badly, doesn’t have a suspect, and got reported on.

        I thought the same when the funny hot dog man turned war-criminal marched a surprising distance into Russia.

        Nothing ever happens. :(
