That's the Mantra of a liberal I've ever heard one

Eh. Regardless of how careful he it, he's still just a man. If it's a coup from within the security he has means nothing, and they will also know where he is at a given time.
Remember what happened to Indira Ghandi.

You'd get thrown out of a window in Russia for saying that
No one has been thrown out a window in Russia, what a baseless accusation about very tragic suicides. Now please, shoot yourself in the back of the head three times and then zip yourself into a duffel bag.

I'm amazed no one has pointed out the possibility that this was staged by Putin himself as a prerequisite to enforce greater surveillance, military and police presence, claim opposition and Ukraine to be terrorists, and so on. This is, besides a malfunction, much more likely than a failed assassination attempt that went this badly, doesn't have a suspect, and got reported on.

He absolutely could

Man, when (when, not if) Putin dies eastern Europe is going to have a weeeeird power vacuum

it's easier if there's plausible deniability.

No that's the actual definition of the word liberal. We got 300 plus years of liberal history to point to. It's always the same song and dance. Nothing matters more than private property and Law and Order to a liberal. Everything else will be thrown away in favor of those two things. Every. Single. Time.

We can rule out a Ukrainian assassination attempt. They have a pretty good track record of success.

I mean, it wouldn't do to advertise failed attempts. And honestly, even if this was a failed Ukrainian assassination attempt, the fact that they legit blew putin's limo up is kind of huge.
Honestly I though putin already spent 90% of his time in a bitch bunker. Ukraine has already demonstrated the capability of striking Moscow and beyond, long ago, several times over.

Actual =/= original.
Linguistic prescriptiveness is completely useless in terms of what those terms mean in politics now.

No that's just a lie you've been sold. The behavior still matches. That's what the last 40 years have been. The neoliberal Takeover of the Democratic Party. I mean you really look at Chuck Schumer and think that labels no longer accurate? Really?

It's still not on the BBC 12 hours on, and I don't know the website, so this is fake, unfortunately.
Lol. It's not on my local government rhetoric machine and therefore I do not implicitly believe this

Not a failed assassination, but a warning maybe? His health issues have been in the news lately, his "special operation" is wayyyy over-budget... someone's making him look more vulnerable. Who though??? That's my dumb conspiracy; he's losing power and someone's been waiting to fill that vacuum. Corporate-takeover style? Idk, I'm just riffing
