Another Russian Assassination

[tss]

I think my post broke something. I can't edit it.

[cubby]

An ex-Russian politician gets gunned down in broad daylight during the same week that a witness in the Magnitsky Russian tax fraud case "trips" over a balcony a day before he was scheduled to testify.

Yeah, clearly western propaganda against Putin and Russia.

Exactly. At this point, those people that still can't see the reality of Russia/Putin/Trump/Election are just willfully ignorant.

[Shalcker]

Stupid enemies of Putin... as soon as they figure out to stop killing each other to make Putin look bad, they might actually make progress. Lucky for Putin, his adversaries will continue to kill each other to make Putin look bad... they are so stupid...

Is it them or people who fall for it though?

It's not like they didn't pass literally every high-profile killing or assault in Ukraine as "Putin's fault"...

I think it's more of the case of crying wolf too much. Even if Voronenkov indeed was killed under orders from Putin noone should believe when Ukrainians will say that without rock-solid proof - and seeing as assailant is conveniently already dead (even though he was initially alive but with face wound... and even some officials saying on TV he will live) nothing will stop Ukrainians from spinning story as they want it.

It is not Putin's fault that his enemies are so clumsy and have health problems, they need to have strong heart and lucky rabbit foot like Putin /s

No, no... another Russian tripped, and fell on some bullets.

In Soviet Russia, bullet falls on you.

Conspiracy theorists strike back.

nice meme

"I do a have relationship. And I can tell you that he's very interested in what we're doing here today. He's probably very interested in what you and I am saying today, and I'm sure he's going to be seeing it in some form. But I do have a relationship with him."

"Look, he's done a very good job in terms of what he represents and who he's representing. If you look at what he's done with Syria, if you look at so many of the different things, he has really eaten our president's lunch. Let's not kid ourselves. He's done an amazing job. ... He's put himself at the forefront of the world as a leader in a short period of time. ... I think that Putin has done an amazing job of showing certain leadership that our people have not been able to match."

-Trump, being asked if he has a relationship with V. Putin, 2013

Just another example of Putin's style of governance, in which dissenters are imprisoned or killed. Why are some people so enamored by this man? As soon as he's no longer on your side, your life is in danger.

State terrorism? Says the person who funded over-throw of democratically elected president n sent tanks against his own people. Killing his own people he would have no problem killing some foreigner for some propaganda points. The Russo-phobes swallow this treat easily.

Is it them or people who fall for it though?

100% people that fall for it. I tend to go with the idea that people are not at fault for falling for propaganda, because of the amount of effort that usually goes into it. But, in this case, as many times as this happens, to still buy the idea of Putin's enemies killing each other off, to damage Putin, is the fault of those who fall for it.

It's not like they didn't pass literally every high-profile killing or assault in Ukraine as "Putin's fault"...

Why would they? Putin wants nothing, but the best for the original capital of Russia.

I think it's more of the case of crying wolf too much. Even if Voronenkov indeed was killed under orders from Putin noone should believe when Ukrainians will say that without rock-solid proof - and seeing as assailant is conveniently already dead (even though he was initially alive but with face wound... and even some officials saying on TV he will live) nothing will stop Ukrainians from spinning story as they want it.

Impossible... what year did Putin blame Chechnya and the west for killing Anna Polichiskova? Crying wolf typically gets recognized as that eventually... yet... here you are...

Well, in comparison this doesn't really happen with any western diplomats or politicians.

If you look at just at the last few months / years the score is something like:
Russia: ~15
The Rest of the World: ~0

More like:
Russia: 0
Rest of the world: 0
Political opposition to Putin: ~15

Makes it a little more obvious.

[swdan]

LOL. A very clever thing to say when your new citizen is killed in the broad daylight right in your capital city.

having passport =\= citizen. love our Ukrainian random passport distribution since 1991. Really need that Latvia-like "non-citizenship" system for Ukrainian "soviet union citizens" or this freakshow will never end

UA lost a valuable witness against Yanukovich and criminals from region party

dont care about dead russians tho

It does to Ukrainian though, and Voronenkov was already well-known Ukrainian media figure at the moment of killing.

If you look at just at the last few months / years the score is something like:
Russia: ~15
The Rest of the World: ~0

Actually counts for Russia don't even go up to 10...

You're in the thread about killing in that "rest of the world" though, namely Ukraine, not Russia... where situation with repressions and killings is sadly way worse.

Accusations against Russia -> Shalcker summoned like a clockwork.

Why are Putins opponents so accident prone!?

[Charge me Doctor]

Young Ukrainian citizen (born in 1988) involved in political murder. I sincerely don't believe that Ukrainian youth is supporting Putin by any chance

Let me guess, this fine young individual doesn't speak Ukrainian as his native language and is probably from Donetsk?

Dunno, the only thing that is known of him is that he is Ukrainian citizen born in 1988 and that he died in hospital. Doubt that anything else will be released any time soon

I really don't think it's a good idea to assert that any Ukrainian that was born since 1988, cannot possibly support Russia. It kinda paints Russian narrative about Crimea in a bad light.

No, no... another Russian tripped, and fell on some bullets.

No no...
Died of lead poisoning.
