I would expect any Russian ex-pat is nervous.
And the sex worker who peeād on the Donald in Moscow, now sleeps with the carp at the bottom of the Moscow River
We had our offices swept for bugs every week. Fun times.
@ncsteveās answer is the best ā¦ but perhaps Putin also is testing the Western alliance. The candy-assed sanctions the Administration got dragged kicking and screaming into adopting this week clearly arenāt enough.

Is this that second event - or yet a third incident?
[/quote]Get yer scorecards here! Canāt tell your dead Russians without a scorecard!
The article says more than a dozen Russians have turned up dead recently in Britain. I guess Putin carries a grudge. Could it be that two scoops ran so he could have Secret Service protection?
Yeah by my account weāre up to 16.
The London police force said āat this stage there is nothing to suggest any link to the attempted murders in Salisbury,ā and they said there was no evidence that Glushkov has been poisoned.
Understand why this is the official line, but thatās not really accurate is it.
It must have been the Mayans or the Aztecs that did it. Or maybe the Ottomans. Nothing to see here.
Putin cleaning houseā¦
And/or sending messagesā¦
This was much earlier but revisited given the new case.
The second event.
Hey, you shouldnāt insult Fredo like that.
must be one of those MS-13 gang guys who did the deedā¦
For all intents and purposes, T rump is just wants to be a mob boss, and he happens to run a country with a massive nuclear arsenal. Itās as though Charlie Luciano is now in charge of a country with the most powerful military on earth, only T rump is subservient to Putin, who is in charge here.
The body count is getting pretty high, no? Several publications were keeping a running tab on diplomats and former Putin critics dying under what one could only describe as . . . suspicious circumstances during and following the 2016 election cycle.
Last August, Axios ran this article:
listing ten such deaths. Seems to me I recall the number in the teens by the end of 2017.
Gary Kasparov had a chilling quote he said was commonly repeated (probably in whispers) inside Russia:
All countries have their own version of the Mob. Russia is the only country where the Mob has its own country.
I suspect the Trumpster is envious.
I guess being a Russian diplomat is like being a drummer for Spinal Tap.
Strangled to death? Is that like drowned to death, or killed to death?
A message to Donnie?
Iām sure there was nothing nefarious involved.
He probably just fell backwards out the 5 story window onto sharp, exploding, poisoned, bullets by accident.
