Ballet stars, and their notoriously poor balance.
A nice window to the future for US citizens critical of their government… a window ripe for defenestration…
If I die mysteriously from a fall, please refer to this comment.
This isn’t funny.
I imagine Russia is like the Star Wars setting, lots of crazy steep drops and they never install railings.
They really could use some railings over there.
Stay on the ground floor, Russians.
Heart attacks happens on every floor.
So do poisonings, and shootings but we’re just mitigating circumstances here lol.
There could always be a feral bullet that has ran away from it’s gun!
They don’t have any budget to do it differently or it’s a power move, like, it’s not official but you know it?
It’s a calling card. Everyone knows what happened, not a single soul will comment on it. Unless they fancy being the next up for flight lessons.
Without the textbook.
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
“in an apparent suicide, putin critic ________ shot himself in the back 20 times. more at 11”
He’s gonna do it again at 11? Damn, that’s super sus.
Gotta give him time to reload.
This just piles up on the reasons Russia needs to be denuclearisased, putin getting ousted, democracy installed and so on.
Good news Russias economy is in the toilet and someone has started flushing already, Ukrain will prevail and hopefully we’ll have peace one day.
More realistically, he’ll probably die of old age or be ousted by someone younger and more exciting to the wealthy elite that keep Putin in power. Real change may come after that, but a change in leadership is not going to immediately fix long term issues like corruption, wealth disparity, etc.
I think they will become a Chinese vassal.
I don’t know exactly what that’d look like, but the pure economic/political dynamics make it seem kinda inevitable.
A unified China/Russia alliance sounds like a player in a near future sci-fi, so I’ll take that as a good sign
Unless the Russians violently purge there elites, a new dictator will take the seat before the corpse is cold. He may even hold a sham election to “legitimize” himself as the best person to sand next to a window with.
True. Another possibility is that the economy (and infrastructure gotten their maintenance money stolen for 20 years and starts to crumble) goes down with a skyrocketing inflation going to the moon killing the ruble, and who knows what happens when you can’t pay your army any more …
Interesting times for russia.
Oh, so China expands to fill that void and hands out a portion to Kim Jong Link before repainting things?
