I still have no idea what actually happened in that. I was convinced he was acting the whole thing out at Putin's request, but then he was killed a week later. IMO, that was the weirdest news story ever.
Same thought crossed my mind but what bothers me the most was that Zuniga's neck gaiter makes it look like he has no neck, from that angle. It makes him look like his face is retracting, like a turtle. Why would he lose his job and look like a limp turtle's noodle, just to help out President Arce?
