This feels like Putin is getting bolder

 

[VoR]

Genuinely surprised he lasted as long as he did.

I was going to say. Hasn’t he been in some sort of SIBERIAN CAMP for a few years?

 

[Madison]

Shit.

[Kratz]

Poisoned by the tip of a padded bra?

Genuinely surprised he lasted as long as he did.

The investigation he took a leading role in into the first time they nearly succeeded in assassinating him is still one of the most astonishing things I've ever read about. Imagine managing to get the hop on / talk to your killers!

"If it Hadn't Been for the Prompt Work of the Medics": FSB Officer Inadvertently Confesses Murder Plot to Navalny - bellingcat

Bellingcat and its partners reported that Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) was implicated in the near-fatal nerve-agent poisoning of Alexey Navalny on 20 August 2020. The report identified eight clandestine operatives with medical and chemical/biological warfare expertise working under...

I didn't know he was ill

 

[Penelope]

I didn't know he was ill

He wasn't.

 

[dmlaw]

I’m surprised that the Russians haven’t described the cause of death as ‘definitely not murder’.

 

[funky]

The way they bother to put out a statement

Does anyone actually ever believe them? Even their ‘supporters’ must surely just look the other way…

 

[octophone]

Hideous. Always remember, the Tories look up to this.

 

[Penelope]

I didn't know he was ill

Oh right

This whole thing is so tragic. I wonder if this might inspire a wider movement.

The world is run and controlled by deranged cunts. Why do people give these people power?

Because human beings are inherently a terrible species.

 

[KC 🦋]

To be fair, every other animal species can be just as cunty to their own kind.

To be fairer, none of them have invented nukes, so I'm not sure it's quite as big as issue.

The day cats master nuclear fission it’s over for all of us.

Only cuz they're not intelligent enough. But many animal social norms are absolutely ruthless by our standards.

Well, I for one am now totally relaxed that Putin assassinated a political enemy because Swans are arseholes too.

There’s not much to suggest there is any meaningful counter-movement. Support for the war remains solid - it’s arguably a relatively complicit population.

LOL I was just making a note on Eddie's use of the word "species". As far as biology is concerned "assassinating a political enemy" is just evolutionary 'Alpha male' competitive behavior.

 

[KC 🦋]

Oh I thought there was at least some kind of pro-Navalny movement still. I suppose most of his supporters have either fled or been imprisoned.

There is a movement but I think there is sometimes an assumption that the Russian people are just waiting to be freed from Putin’s clutches. There doesn’t seem to be much evidence for that at all.

On the other hand, if you did want to be freed from Putin’s evil clutches but didn’t want to fall out of a window, keeping quiet about it might be the smart move.

 

[KC 🦋]

If the population is mostly complicit/supportive then doesn't that kinda...change things? If there's social consensus on invading Ukraine then he's not as "isolated" as Western media is painting him to be?

 

[auretz]

I studied for a year in St Petersburg as part of my degree, and almost all of the Russians I knew then (all against the war) have moved to Armenia, Georgia, Serbia etc - I fear most of those who can afford to, have left, leaving even more of a pro-Putin populace.
