Edit: The admins have told me if I don’t say this was an accident then they will remove the post.

It’s is verifiably an accident. It is also extremely convenient for the people she threatened.

    If you think GRU doesn’t have activated operatives operating on US soil, you’re dream’in.

    Seizures aka “you know we did it but you can’t prove it” is Vladdy’s trademark.

    The US fingerprint is more like the 2 Boing whistleblowers.

      To be fair - most assassinations by Putin have a much more obvious tie.

      She didn’t fall out of a window, she didn’t get exposed to Novichok, and it doesn’t sound like polonium.

      That being said, still could have been assassination but by other Russian mobsters.

        Sadly, it could have been the stress of losing her career and possible threats in her future that exacerbated her condition.

        Or really it could have just been shitty luck too.

        Let’s stay focused on the real conspiracies with Trump, musk, vote manipulation (look at mail in ballot rejections), and Putin’s digital army garbage.

      Hes usually much less subtle than than a seizure, particularly for a victim with a documented history of seizures.

        Smart assassin’s get as much info as they can on their victim and use methods to make it look like natural death

        Assassin find out they have seizures, they make it look like death by seizures

        An assassination doesn’t have to be by a gun or poisoning, it can be done by stealing and/or replacing her seizure medication.

          Either one of those should leave evidence in an autopsy and in a bottle at the scene. Putin doesnt normally kill people like that though, at least when its a revenge killing. He wants everyone to know that he did it, that there is nothing anyone can do about it, and that anyone could be next if they cross him.

        They use those things when they want the world to know it was them. The number of countries with access to Polonium or Novichok is extremely limited, and both are very easy and obvious to detect in an autopsy.

        When they don’t want the world to know, they make it look like a suicide or accident, e.g. falling out of windows.

          I don’t know what percentage of a population of oligarchs fall out of windows each year unaided, but when it’s the fifteenth or sixteenth it does start to get somewhat obvious that something untoward is happening.
