Nearly as unsurprising as the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

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

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, I find
Putin's motive puzzling. But, based upon news tidbits, he seems to be
living in a sea of paranoia.

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?

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

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