I'm beginning to think this Putin guy might not be very nice.

You're kinda Russian to judgement here.

Wait.. It wasn't an accident?

The weirdly coincidental death of a man who attempted a coup against a nearly all-powerful dictator? No, definitely an accident. This is clearly fake news.

The story of "playing with grenades while drunk and high on cocaine" was so plausible too.

Definitely what high-level people would do in a plane.

It's not as if anyone seriously expected Putin to have planted that bomb himself, duh.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 6 months ago

I didn't expect him to do that, but I wouldn't exactly have been shocked if I found out he did just for the pure pleasure of doing so.

Someone must make a video game about that

[–] logicbomb 3 points 6 months ago

Still, "ally" and saying he was "behind" the bomb implies that this guy was not taking orders from Putin, and planned this himself.

Shoddy journalism.
