Nah, that is an easy spin for them. "Russian agents injected him with clotting agents to make it seem like a natural death".
They are working backwards from the assumption he was murdered (don't ask them why Russia would martyr a prisoner) and so any possible cause of death will be attributed to foul play. A meteor could haven fallen from the sky and it would be attributed to the Russian space program.
I love how a lot of them completely missed who Budanov is. Now having this weird moment where they can't dismiss him as being a Russian shill, and now they don't know what to do. 😂
Thread i linked in my other post here is absolutely hilarious, libs regrouping on the new positions, our hexbear comrades absolutely mercilessly calling them Russian bots and libs swirl with confusion.
