    The title and everyone here suggests that Putin had a critic of his killed while in the capitol of his largest competing nation, a nation full of Putin critics. The police putting out that they don’t suspect foul play had to alarm people, yet it stands. It seems like this may actually be an accident, otherwise a master assassin or a lot of money regardless is at play for marginal returns. Seems unlikely.

      People like this don’t fall out of a window by accident. They are not stupid or careless. I read the article and it’s really light on details too. It says he had fall damage and that’s it.

        I’m not saying you’re totally wrong, but also yes sometimes people actually do just fall out of windows or whatever else. That’s why there are regulations to try to make them safer. Accidents do sometimes just happen. This one is suspicious, but it is totally possible that, in this case, someone did just fuck up.

          Sure but it’s extreamly unlikely that this particular person would fall out of a window. There are people in the world that are very often involved in accidents, due to their personality and risk taking behavior. But people like this guy is not one of those.

          It’s not impossible of course.

            Being a Putin critic sounds like risk taking behavior…

            I don’t know how you can judge this guy’s risk profile from this. Again, I don’t disagree that it’s weird, but also I don’t know anything about the person and sometimes things just happen.

      That sounds on brand for Putin.
