    Nearly as unsurprising as the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

    I suppose the only surprise is that it took this long!

    Mike Pence
    There is no room in the Republican Party for apologists for Putin.

    He seemed stupid, probably more useful to CIA and friends as a martyr than anything.

    I believe he could have staid in Germany, but unknown if he had the
    financial ability to do so.

    I assume he came to an unnatural death, but being locked up,

    You'd think with no balcony's or car breaks to go wrong a prison
    cell would be safe enough... maybe one of the prison guards brought
    an umbrella in to work with him that day?

    I find Putin's motive puzzling.

    Ego. If you cross Putin... you're a dead man walking. The message
    has to get 'out there'. Potential rivals will think again.

    living in a sea of paranoia.

    Trump thinks the same way, btw, but he uses other means.
