…what caused his heart to be attacked?
Whew! That’s a relief. I was afraid Bannon might have ordered him hit.
What did he know…who did he know?
The Polonium Flu.
A number of Russian diplomats and spymasters have died fairly recently: Ambassador to Turkey: Andrei Karlov, Peter Polshikov at the Foreign Ministry; Ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin; Russia’s Ambassador to India, Alexander Kadakin; Russian Consul in Athens, Greece, Andrei Malanin; Ex-KGB chief Oleg Erovinkin, etc.
The right-wing nutisphere is offering conspiracy theories and while most are suitably garish it is worth noting that most seem to put Russia in a better light than the US; e.g., a clandestine war is going on between the “deep state” and Russia (pretty clear we’ll be hearing a lot more theories involving the putative “deep state” going forward).
But there is an alternative theory that frankly seems more plausible: Putin is cleaning house of suspected US information sources or double agents; some possibly exposed when #45’s transition team didn’t hold their tongues after attending top-security briefings, others who might have been sources for the infamous “Trump Dossier.”
Accidents and heart attacks do happen but assassinations are a common MO in Putin’s Russia even if still frowned upon in these parts; i.e., purging will be the more typical administration response here (e.g., http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/sessions-seels-resignation-46-attorneys )
Thanks OBAMA!
Democracy is dying of a lack of heart.
Heart attack merely means the heart stopped. What caused it to stop? Inquiring minds what to know.
