    Now they’re getting it - blow up putin - end of war and Ukraine prevails. Also, trump and his entire criminal organization no longer have the backing and deviousness of putin and fail. America wins. The world wins.

    Let’s not miss next time, okay?

      Blowing up Putin would be nice but it’s not a guarantee the war would end. It would lead to a power struggle in the Kremlin, no doubt, but there are loads of hawks in that regime and many are much more extreme than even Putin.

      Of course, a more extreme war hawk might end up benefitting Ukraine by hastening the collapse of Russia. Or it might lead to nuclear war. It’s really hard to predict exactly what will happen.

      Of course, considering he’s a paranoid former KGB agent who won’t even sit at a normal table with his closest advisors, it would not exactly be trivial to drop him.

        I thought the same when the funny hot dog man turned war-criminal marched a surprising distance into Russia.

        Nothing ever happens. :(

    It’s still not on the BBC 12 hours on, and I don’t know the website, so this is fake, unfortunately.

    There’s a high chance that the car is just shit… would be nice if it was an actual assassination attempt but honestly who knows.

      It’s an Aurus, a Russian luxury brand. Knowing Russian automotive engineering, I’m sure the only part that works properly is the engine, which was developed with help from Porsche.

      My first thought. Maybe the Russian equivalent: president’s billionaire buddy has a Russian luxury car factory propped up by government money, riddled with problems.

    Wow its dangerous in Russia. Exploding cars, people keep falling out windows, accidentally shooting themselves in the back of the head repeatedly then falling down elevator shafts. Someone should establish some safety programs.

    First of all, this does not look like an assassination attempt. The engine caught fire. A Russian-made limousine. Might be (politically motivated) vandalism, might be “a Tesla”.


    There’s no freedom of speech or poltical expression in Russia anymore. The state controls the media and the media control the narrative. This is the totalitarian approach. The disadvantage for Putin/Kreml is that they really don’t know anymore how deep the resentment against them goes. And neither do we.

    Of course the explanation will be that Ukrainian sympathisers did it, but I think it’s easy to see that a Russian does not even have to be a Ukrainian sympathiser to want Putin dead.

            If you’re an American born white person, yes.

            If you’re an immigrant, even a legal one, all bets are off. If you’re American born but you look like you maybe could be an immigrant, you’re in danger too.

              I am brown, but american-born.

              I wasn’t safe growing up in the south, I was a Muslim terrorist, and this was before 9/11. They’ve progressed barely at all since the civil war.

              This is just the vile filth of the south spreading outwards to the coasts.

              I thought I’d escaped, but the filth followed me, fortunately I managed to escape again to Europe.

              But I’m sure the vile filth of the south will follow me again.

              So I’ve decided to parabellum.

                Depends entirely on the far right political parties. They’ve surged up towards 20% lately.

                Idk really the appeal, but no clue if it’s a temporary situation.

                Europe is dealing with an aging population, so 2nd generation immigrants are a blessing.

                Like to be honest, even if the parents aren’t that easily integrated into the work force, the real pearls are the children they bring with them.

                It takes time, effort and resources to raise kids and plenty of 2 income couples have stopped having kids. We need people for the future.

        i know that “nsfw” is technically correct here, but i really wish we’d start to designate between graphic depictions of human anatomy. i was kinda hoping to see some upside-down boobs, tbh :P

        that’s the first time i’ve seen this pic of Mussolini. Imagine what it would look like if he wore big suits and bronzer.

        Better edit it to “I wish Putin all my thoughts and prayers. I hope he gets a new better limo as a result. The world is so unfair. Also ceasefire for Ukraine lol.”

        Maybe remove the last part.

          No one has been thrown out a window in Russia, what a baseless accusation about very tragic suicides. Now please, shoot yourself in the back of the head three times and then zip yourself into a duffel bag.

        Only if I’d wish if Musk would be in it right? Since it’s a limo, it would have been great if Putin, Trump, Vance and Musk would be in it.

          Let’s rebuild the Titan sub and restart important exploration trips to the Titanic! That’s a great idea for the uber rich! We all want to know what happened to the Titanic in great details. I have a super Nintendo knockoff controller they can use this time around. Also make it out of aluminum and do high pressure oxygen tests with the crew inside. I hear those are fun events.
