    Hell yes, more of this to people who deserve it, especially Russian military officers who continue following Putins orders.

    “Blamed Ukraine.” Ok so now we know it was a political assassination by the Kremlin.

    With that out of the way, I get this feeling that typically it’s a bad idea to kill your military leaders. I don’t know how the military works in Russia, but given that an oligarch was able to march his PMC to Moscow with no opposition makes me wonder if the Kremlin has any capacity for reasoning over reaction.

      They’re kinda locked in on the “reign of terror” tech tree

      The state holds the keys to power that grant it the monopoly on violence. In a democracy, those keys are pretty spread out, in an oligarchy, they’re less so.

      Any one of the oligarchs could take over at basically any moment, and with shit hitting the fan the way it is, Putin can’t show weakness or own failure at all

    Do the generals live in those style of apartments we see in the picture? I would think not.

      Yeah, exactly my thought when I read what car he had! Strange.

      Upd: I checked address (Moscow, Yasnevaya str, 12k5) and this is new building that isn’t very cheap. But definitely not to luxury.
