Oh I loved borscht - several varieties of it in several Russian locations.

Borscht and a hunk of Russian bread - yum!

But the fatty sausage, I was told, helped in the cold Russian winters. Stored for body heat.

Possibly he tragically, accidentally chopped his head off while shaving.

“Unexpected? Is not unexpected. Bullet to head. Death expected.”

And this Leslin, minister of propaganda, they found his $50 million yacht down in Australia in the past month.

No, none of this is suspicious at all.

“A challenger to Putin?”

Yes, that and per Radio Free Europe:

“Sergun’s position as GRU chief landed him on the sanctions lists imposed in early 2014 by both the United States and the European Union, which specifically cited his oversight of “the activity of GRU officers in eastern Ukraine.”

There has been a lot of these unexpected deaths recently.

November 5th Mikhail Leslin - Putin’s top aid, media coordinator in taking of Crimea
December 10th Gennady Saratov, former mayor of Sevastopol, important participant in taking of Crimea
December 27th Maj. General Suskin - military coordinator of taking of Crimea

and now Sergun

The entire Middle-East is destabilized.
The Crimea is now Russian.
Ukraine is in civil war.
China is building islands to claim Pacific territory and their stock markets are collapsing.

Everyone is testing nuclear missiles. India, Pakistan, Israel, China, Russia, Iran, and the USA.

The Cold War hasn’t been this global, or this hot, ever...surpassing October 1962.

So yeah, the Spy Games are more serious at the moment.

To me the common theme in these 50-somethings suddenly dying seemed to be that they know where the bodies are buried. As it now came out the Russians who shot down the plane killing 300 civilians have been tracked down - http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3379310/posts - there might be more deaths following. There already has been a rain of low-profile deaths to go with the higher up ones.

Knowing where the bodies are buried only explains internal Spy Games, but right now there are external Spy Games in play.

2016 is a dangerous year...may the Public never learn just how much so.

Communist dictatorships are predictable....not that Russia is commie - but why do you think it was an internal hit rather than an external hit?
