Polonium works too slowly.
Safe
AND
Effective.
Or is that Defective?
Defenestration can happen to anyone at any time in Putin’s Moscow and Russia. Even outside Russia, in Europe, if Putin’s FSB can get to you.
But did Yankina have incriminating evidence on the Clintons that would put Hillary in prison?
Is this Russiancide? Putincide?
“suicide”
uh-huh ... or maybe she dared to criticize Putin?
got the same treatment that many previous critics of the wanna-be Tsar received?
alas, Russia is a police-state dictatorship, so there’s no free press ...
Yes, if you work for Putin and are smart, you insist on an office on the 1st floor.
Riiiigghht.
By the time she reached the tenth floor, Marina Yankina clearly understood the gravity of the situation.
The US has a defense budget, Putin has a defenestration budget...
Anyone that works for Putin should never live in a bldg. that is taller than 2 floors.
Sure are a lot of clumsy people in russia.
So far in the US, political opponents of the regime are swatted and thrown in jail, bu no defenestration—YET.
She could have defected to the US and moved in with me. I would have been happy to pump her...for information.
Things that make you go HMMMM 🤔🤨
