  1. I have nothing but respect for the courage it takes to pull something like that off behind enemy lines.

  2. After waiting several months for him to go to the first floor, they had to finally pull the trigger.

  3. After reading the headline I just like to imagine he got shot throughout his day running errands because everyone hates him

  4. Wow what an unlucky day! He first learned his wife and kids died in a car crash, in his grief he tripped out of a 15th storey window, and then startled a nearby criminal who shot him repeatedly in his panic.

    It’s crazy how this could be Putin or Ukraine and it’s not likely to be more chances of one of the other.

    Could have been by Ukrainian operators, could also have been part of the GRU-FSB ongoing power struggle. Great news anyway that he’s been taken out.

  7. Great news.

    But lol @ the amount of redditors thinking they’re funny by writing the exact same joke about windows.

    There’s not a lot of information yet but it sounds like he’s still alive. Russia also has somewhere between 1000 – 1700 generals, but a shooting in Moscow is still a significant statement if Ukraine is responsible.

    Actually it was a homeopathic remedy against artillery. Completely effective. Hopefully more it’ll become more common in the future.

  10. The snows must have fallen so hard and piled up so high it wasn’t “safe” to throw people off the balcony anymore in Putin-land

  11. Fake news. He fell down the stairs next to an open window and fell onto some bullets that happened to be there. Total accident.

  12. This is the fuck suspected of being behind the Salisbury nerve agent attack.

    If there were any justice everyone involved in that attack would get to experience all the misery such weapons have to offer.

  13. When your apartment is on the ground floor, you don’t smoke and don’t drink tea in Russia.

  14. Breaking News: Ukraine security services found to be 2nd leading cause of death for Russian Generals behind Russia security services.

    Is this the country which is crushing Europe in Ukraine?

    Ah i See. It is always a Sign of winning when high decorated militaries are Shot in Public. 🙂

  16. First thought was “I bet he did something genuinely evil”. And ofc…

    >nerve agent attack in Salisbury in the UK.

    Wonder if it was the ukrainians or the brits. Probably ukrainians…they seem big on going after the people behind warcrimes grade stuff
