    No, he is not!! Then he would get dirty hands!
    But sadly for the rich russians, they need better window security, it so easy to fall out of a window in Russia these days.

    Strength of war lies on the powers that pays for war. Why would you kill the people that pays for your war. It's most probably US' fault trying to blame it on Putin. Killing two birds with one stone.

    I bought a Russian advent calendar. Every time you open a window an oligarch falls out.

    If I lived in Russia while Putin was in power and I was an Oligarch, I would get the fuck out of Russia on something super fast.

    Putin's regime is poor without murdering the oligarchy off. Putin's regime is single-minded about stealing Ukraine from the world. Russia's people continues to battle between themselves and the good Russians are fighting the awful Russians as a civil war continue to grow where the possibilities of freedom from Putin's Regime is becoming increasingly important and possible. The old guard is may still have a fear-hold on Russians but the more fear the Regime fills Russians with the more the Russian People rebels. It is the nature of oppression. This Russian People will keep blowing up Russian military bases and destroying weapons depots. They will stop all suppliers from China, North Korea, India, Iran, and Germany.

    Putin has no choice but murder the oligarchs and their family's because he has lost much of his power and simply cannot take any chances. I'm sure his victims understand it is not personal; only that it is necessary.

    It would be interesting to look video that specifies all of the dead oligarchs on our side (I'm sure we have some), Did Biden, Sholz or Macron do it? Innuendo – key to tell "story" where is none – people die regardless of how wealthy they are (I will even if I'm not that reach :D). THIS THEME IS CENTRAL TO MAKING YOU BELIEVE PUTIN IS THE WEALTHIEST PERSON WALKING THE PLANET EARTH WITHOUT ACTUAL EVIDENCE…

  20. @javauser

    March 6, 2024 at 4:08 pm

    Let's put it this way, they've fallen out of use. But I guess it works this way, first you fall out of grace with putin and then you accidentally find yourself falling out of the window.

  21. @Roxor128

    March 6, 2024 at 4:08 pm

    I hate to give Putin credit, but he is at least doing the right thing, if for the wrong reasons. Oligarchs are a bad thing, and we should be getting rid of them wherever they exist. Getting on Putin's bad side is a bad reason, but at least they're gone. Now do the rest, Vlad.

    The Russian apartment bombings were a series of explosions that hit four apartment blocks in the Russian cities of Buynaksk, Moscow and Volgodonsk in September 1999, killing more than 300, injuring more than 1,000, and spreading a wave of fear across the country. The bombings, together with the Invasion of Dagestan, triggered the Second Chechen War.[1][2] The handling of the crisis by Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time, boosted his popularity greatly and helped him attain the presidency within a few months.

  24. @felipellorad9876

    March 6, 2024 at 4:08 pm

    Who else would kill those oligarchs who are anti-putin? V. Zelensky? 😜🤫

  25. @Shawnx-jb7sv

    March 6, 2024 at 4:08 pm

    Had to give you a "thumbs down" because, though we are very patriotic, you insinuate that we don't have the same level of corruption in our country! That is so wrong! We hope you are not trying to lie to our faces and that you are just ignorant! We hope that Donald Trump regains power in the United States, although we also acknowledge that that is not 100% for the people and by the people, but it is the best damn thing that we've had in a century!
