A top political nemesis of President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed early Saturday in central Moscow, Russian police said, one day before an opposition rally was scheduled to take place.

Boris Nemtsov, 55, a former deputy prime minister, was shot four times from a passing car as he was walking on a bridge just outside the Kremlin. Interior Ministry spokeswoman Yelena Alexeyeva told reporters on the scene that Nemtsov was walking with a female acquaintance, a Ukrainian citizen, when a vehicle drove up and unidentified assailants shot him dead. The woman wasn't hurt.

Yet, we have folks that fawn over Putin like creepy catamites in a county jail.

I wouldn't say ALL of them are creepy catamites. I fully suspect a few of them are just plain whores, who get paid for their "PR" work.

In the 60s the KGB had to pay student leaders and unionists a lot of money. Internet propaganda is so much cheaper.

Don’t say it cannot happen here

My sentence is a simile and not a definition. I believe this because they act like the type of people who butter up a bully and seem over awed with the cruel use of it for criminal or unethical reasons, like dolts in prison.

I think we must remain eternally vigilant. I do get disgusted when the abuses of Obama are used as some type of excuse for the crimes of Putin. Each deserves the opprobrium of the honest public seeking free, just, and civil societies. Obama would, if allowed, transform America into something like a socialist Kenya. Putin is for Russian chauvinism and revanchism.

I know, I absolutely agree with you and it sickens me, too.

The question to ask is who benefits from this political assassination of a relatively minor Russian opposition figure at the door step of the Kremlin?

Cui bono?

[Vaquero]

Fort Marcyvich Park? Or Flying in a light plane over the Black Sea where all passengers survive except the one. Putin, Clinton, zer0bummer. Not much difference

[1rudeboy]

Uh, Putin?

[lormand]

Serves him right huh? If you mess with your shirtless hero Vlad, like Ukraine, you die.

Thanks elhombrelibre.

The quiet I like. Smelling the burning bacon from their getting the Zot? I'd like that better.

How does it benefit Putin from having a political opponent killed on his door step in a high profile way?

[McGruff]

You gotta ask yourself who benefit's from something like this? Not Putin or the Russians. If it was the KGB you think they would have done it right where it would get the most publicity?

Something smells here. Where's this woman that was with him? They say desperate people do desperate things. If this was the Ukrainian version of KGB or the CIA I hope they covered their tracks real good.

Things just got alot more serious.

Bottom line.....don’t mess with the Russkie “Godfather”, Poots!

[bdfromlv]

He also forgot the dead choir master of his church and his missing gay pakistani college room mate.

[1rudeboy]

Qui bono, comrade.

[1rudeboy]

Yeah, cause you know the Ukrainians would assassinate someone more sympathetic to their cause, versus someone else. Or something. /s

[mac_truck]

Lol...classic non response.

Fee free to phone a friend at the US State Dept. for help.

[1rudeboy]

A “non response” to your response. Well done, Ivan.
