If he liked Putin's russia so much, he should have moved there.

[–] innermachine@lemmy.one 21 points 2 years ago

To be fair, I guess he thought they were gonna move to him!

Why are you posting the daily Mail??

As a reminder, betraying your country to an invader is not typically a charge that meets with a jury trial.

...and ends with a very quick sentence, even in countries where very quick sentences are otherwise frowned upon. Treason just seems to usually be an exception to the rule.

Never collaborate with occupiers. Lots of people in Afghanistan learned that the hard way, too.

Yes you should just have supported the exsisting Taliban.

Oh no... Anyway, the new BMW M3...

Must have been a bear attack. No need to look into it.

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Accidentally jumped out of a window

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

What's this? the consequences of my actions

[–] StaticSyntax@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Oh look. If it isn’t the consequences of your own actions.

Usually they get yeeted out of windows, good to see they're changing it up, keeping it fresh

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should check out the podcast "Sad Oligarch" it's about the rash of Russian oligarchs and such throwing themselves out of windows, and killing their families then themselves.

That's the thing, see. A bullet. It is known he was murdered.

Somewhere in the Kremlin someone is thinking that this was entirely without style. So blunt. Barbarous. When a man falls from a window it is ... an accident.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Ukraine, someone is thinking "Style be damned, this was a message."

They will continue to disagree about which method is best regardless of specific situation and intended subtlety until one of them is shot or falls out of a window.

I mean…they can’t be any kind of surprise to anyone.

[–] Jeff@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Well …. Bye.
