Leukemia is a new one. They don't even bother making up plausible lies. It's all about sending a message.
Always has been.
The "ham-fisted" assassinations have always been about just the tiniest sliver of deniability while definitely sending the message "we can reach you" and not making a secret about who "we" is.
Yes, unfortunately he tripped while jumping out a window and sadly passed away shortly after due to unrelated heart failure.
I wouldn't be surprised whatever perverts Putin had conjured up to make him new poisons managed to make one that manifests similar symptoms to leukemia. It's not beyond him to try new ones out on his subjects who have fallen out of favor.
Polonium 210
Well, suicide is overused, that trope died with Jeffery Epstein.
Gennady Lopyrev, 69, had been due for parole but was reportedly diagnosed with leukaemia on August 14 and died two days later.
Polonium-210 poisoning manifests as rapid onset leukemia...what a coincidence!
What kind of secrets do you guys think are in there?
What does a corrupt mob boss with near limitless power over a nation get up to in his leisure time? I would imagine atrocious shit has gone down in that palace.
Secret passage ways and BDSM dungeons, or a full on cloning facility? :P
This whole time Putin was actually a bear that drives a little car in his spare time like this.
They just shave the bear before taking the photos, here's one where they forgot

You gotta love a headline that presumes to know the motive for a murder
When you find a body without a head, you don't spend much time wondering what the cause of death was.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
