    Had to know it would happen sooner rather than later.

    I’m just surprised the plane was shot down in Russian airspace. Putin’s not even trying to hide his assinations anymore.

      They don’t hide them, they just deny them despite all the evidence to the contrary. Usually while sneering.

      I’m surprised it took this long, I thought he’d be dead within a week of his failed coup.

        Right.

        This assassination wasn’t revenge, it was a threat, to anyone else that might be thinking about a coup.
