Putin & his former KGB friends cleaning house!
Reminds me when the Red Army chief Lin Piao tried to “escape” China via an Air Force plane which went down right before the border with the Soviet Union.
Sweet, a Russia Ukraine post that doesn’t have 30 posts of spam from the OP filling up a thread.
Well done👍
Putin survives because he is paranoid about survival. But he will eventually go the way of Rasputin.
Soviets also shot down Somora Michel’s plane, after he got sick of being a puppet of the Soviet Union, in Mozambique.
Murdered maybe, yes.
Wasn’t there a couple of incidents in the last several decades in which planes carrying high ranking Poles have crashed in Russia?
Arkancide?

S-300 battery - didn’t miss.
how odd.....
But...
I think this likely answers the question if the uprising was real. It was and he overstepped.
I don’t think they want the subtlety. It’s intentional, they want folks to know.

Keeps folks in formation, marching in step.
ROFL
I think Russia is just clinging to their existence, literally.
While some here try to rewarm old Cold War boogyman, Russia in reality is weak and we’re all over them.
We’re the ones that have taken away Iraq, much of Syria, Libya, and trying to topple the government in Venezuela. All of them are oil producing nations. All of them are Russia aligned. Meanwhile, we’re in Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and trying to make Ukraine and the republic of Georgia ours. These are border states and former parts of the Soviet Union.
Russia is a has-been, a former world power, in conventional means they are no more.
While I know on what side my bread is buttered, I also don’t want to be played as a fool or lie about what’s really going on.
This isn’t Russia stomping all over rebuilding a Soviet empire. This is us smelling the blood in the water and going after them in their frontier nations and border states. This is the bigger stronger empire eating up the smaller, weaker, former empire. It’s a story repeated since the begining of time on all the continents except Antarctica.
Today we don’t see ourselves as an empire, even though we are.

He was a Swedish economist and diplomat who served as the second Secretary-General of the United Nations from April 1953 until his death in a plane crash in September 1961.
Just saying that plan crashes that kill innocent people seem to happen when one crosses politicians in Moscow.
Putin for President, he eliminates problems.
Yep, live that way, die that way.
