I guess he just got too big for his britches and his Russian overlords decided to make an example of him.....

I remember seeing that guy in the news. Somebody didn't like his management style. With a change of leadership comes a change of plans. I wonder if it'll get better of worse?

Putin expresses condolences. Kremlin thinks Kiev did it. Russian Investigative Committee is initiating a criminal case. How can they investigate when it's not their country? The case was initiated under part 3 of Article 361 CCRF (an act of international terrorism, which caused the death of a person). Russia will give us the answers on who done it. You can count on them.

I tend to believe that.  It's about dividing up the existing "pie".  I doubt it came from Ukraine.

Some say Tashkent was the target, not Zak.

Very good analysis.  Trump knows he is lying yet does it anyway, and hope it sticks.  There is at least one poster here who does the same thing, and gets very angry when called out on it. 

It seems that in 2018 with Trump at the helm, the truth isn't important at all, it is all about giving the base something they can throw out there in defense, regardless of how silly an argument it is.

Fathertime!

Well, now... anything is possible - given the mess

Various factions seeking control and Moscow will hardly be pleased with how there 'wet dream' of 'Novorossiyia', then plan B 'Malorossiya' is working out ... 

Very much a case of 'be careful what you wish for'
