I think this the the most upset I've ever been about anything comparable internationally. I just can't believe it. Even though there's really nothing to be surprised about, since Putin has been wanting him dead for years.

In case anyone is interested, there's the documentary:

I'm also worried Zelenskyy will be next. Putin would obviously poison him if he could get access, has probably tried and failed to assassinate him and seems emboldened by his recent "successes". Zelensky travels everywhere and can't be kept safe 100%.

Congress needs to sort itself out and get that funding to Ukraine.

Yes I agree. I very much hope support will now galvanise around the figurehead of his widow and the growing number of widows Putin is creating.

The British scientist murdered to hide the lie of weapons of mass destruction....

Except the inquiry determined that he wasn't murdered.

However I'm pretty certain that Russia has done this latest act in such a way so as to explicitly reference it.

I followed him for the last two years. It's so sad but I knew when they shipped him to that Siberian camp he was fucked. What a brave man.

This is what happens when the west tries to influence Russian politics. We want democracy for ourselves and that's fine but don't expect everyone to be so keen to adopt it.

I'm a vocal critic of Putin and historically he has silenced his critics and enemies violently but that is the reality in Russia. Saudi Arabia did it and they are supposedly allies. They tortured and murdered a foreign journalist in another country.... tantamount to war....but we did nothing.

The British scientist murdered to hide the lie of weapons of mass destruction....

Double standards of the west. This is common place everywhere
