Why bother denying it? Everyone in the world knows that everyone that dies as a result of disagreeing with Putin is killed by Putin. It’s not even a little secret.
Honestly I would think less shit of them at this point if they just admitted to their garbage doings. Denying it just makes them seem like spineless pussies in addition to the horrid monsters they already are.
Doing this from Russia, taking a death that is, is much harder. For one he would have needed to take down his plane and those in it. Lots of people would have looked at it in that time. Then he would need to escape from Russia.
If he were to fake his death, this does not seem an easy way to do it.
The angle I’m considering is that Russia wants to convince the world he is dead. However that doesn’t make much sense either because he could reveal himself at any moment and hasn’t done that.
So perhaps he wanted Putin to think he got him so that he can shake him off his back for good? It’s possible but it seems really unlikely.
I’m not really sure what to think. From the half hearted coup to now, the series of events that played out didn’t add up well for me. Perhaps he really is dead and things are just as weird as they seem for no particular reason at all.
Nope, and even if there was it would be from Russian sources so you couldn't really trust it anyway. Kremlin says they had nothing to do with the plane crash either, but, you know.
I wonder who they'll blame. My money's on the CIA. Even if it's obviously a lie, suggesting Ukrainians were able to breach security at Moscow airport might be too embarassing.
