Putin’s former top space engineer dies after facing corruption charges
Vladimir Putin’s former chief space engineer — and an accused embezzler — has died at age 74, the fourth person in the Russian president’s orbit to pass away within a week. Nesterov’s cause and manner of death have not been disclosed

You're always laughing, you fuckin' clown.
And every single "victory" you've ever posted ends up being a dud.

See if you can follow me here. I creat a thread. I post about what is currently going on in the world that intererts me. Seconds later in many cases jackass posts insultingly stupid shit directed at me.
So, He is a troll. I don' have to show evidence of that. His posts show it. Now, to be a successful troll you at least have to be anoying to the person you are trolling. He is a big time loser at that. I just return to my thread and again, post what interests me. I see he has been here, but I don't follow what he posts.
He cuts a sad figure. It appears as though he see's himself as never fitting in here so he attacks.
Well, so be it. I'll get back to posting what I want, when I want, in my threads.

I dunno man... Sounds awful butthurt for somebody who isn't butthurt.
Would have been more convincing if you didn't post anything at all.
Your collection of posts are bullshit that never goes anywhere. I do appreciate you for giving us a grand archive of bad opinions and colossal failures for us to look back upon and laugh at though, Ted. You've created the Drudge Report, but for Leftoid losers.
By all means, please continue what you're doing.

So, scrolling up thru some of the posts... in SECOND's post detailing deaths, there are a few things missing .
One of them is public criticism of Putin. What does it matter if these people- no matter how wealthy- grumble to themselves about the Kremlin? There doesn't appear to be any public motive for killing these men.
And while SOME influential figures might have had a direct bearing on the war effort- head of an energy company, for example- I can't think of anyone more sideways to that than the head of a ski resort. Or a sausage maker.
So,no motive AFAIK.
Another thing missing is their ages.
Another thing missing is how many men of similar wealth and age die in a normal year?
Now, maybe, as speculated, these men saw themselves cut off from their fortunes and escape hatches by western sanctions, and despaired. Maybe some of them were found embezzling or sending their money overseas, and faced long jail sentences. Or maybe they were watching their fortunes implode and drank themselves silly. Or maybe some just had heart attacks.
I guess without more facts it's impossible to say what's going on. Enquiring minds want to know!

A state of the nation address, originally scheduled for April, was repeatedly delayed and won't happen until next year. Putin's annual "direct line" — a media event in which Putin fields questions from ordinary Russians — was canceled outright.
An annual December "big press conference" – a semi-staged affair that allows the Russian leader to handle fawning questions from mostly pro-Kremlin media – was similarly tabled until 2023.
The Kremlin has given no reason for the delays. Many suspect it might be that, after 10 months of war and no sign of victory in sight, the Russian leader has run out of good news to share.

First of all, altho some might thinks it's clever saying "next year" and "2023", making it sound so far-off, guess what? THAT'S TOMORROW!
Secondly, what are you implying? That Putin is scared of the public? That Putin is sick?
Hate to tell you, but Putin has been extremely busy lately, meeting with his military and security forces, visiting Surovikin in one of the recently annexed oblasts, meeting with Lukashenko to further tie the militaries together, and he has an upcoming meeting with Xi, and one with Erdogan and Assad. (I know there's more in there, I'm just not remembering them all.) It seems to me that he's planning something big. I don't know what, but I think he wants to wrap up Ukraine in 2023.
By all acounts, he's also planning on his succession, and it looks like the front runner is Medvedev, who was just selected as the deputy head of the military production committee (a permanent post, not ending with Ukraine) and who was also sent on a protocol-breaking direct meeting with Xi (head of state, who only meets with other heads of state.) And Medvedev is apparently more hawkish than Putin.
Putin's Presidency IS coming to an end. Some day, so will Putin. As will we all. But the west shouldn't be breathing a sigh of relief bc Russia's policy towards the west will probably change, but for the worse.
Anyway, thanks - in a sideways fashion- for bringing up yet another topic that you know nothing about.

Clearly, Russia is not doing much right when countries with smaller populations are doing as well as Russia, looking only at GDP. Would Russia consider doing differently? Such as not constructing so much of its self-worth on its stockpile of nukes? Or on the size of its Army? Or its victories against weak countries such as Ukraine?
But I expect whoever replaces Putin will talk constantly, just the same as Putin does, about Russia's nukes and the power to destroy the world, the size of the Russian Army, and military victories going all the way back to WWII.
GDP by Country
10 Canada $1,647 trillion
11 Russia $1,578 trillion
12 South Korea $1,531 trillion
