Interesting take. I would have gone for "A known enemy of Putin suddenly dies in a plane crash over Russian airspace."

"plane crash"

At least it isn’t another freak autodefenestration. Those were starting to get boring.

Not like it's unprecedented for them to blow up a plane, but yeah, they were definitely getting stuck in a defenestration rut these last few years interspersed with people "getting sick".

If you think about it, blowing up a plane in flight is just the highest possible form of defenestration.

Being over Russian airspace was the stupid move here.

Definitely. Expecting to live after calling off the coup was the stupid move here. He crossed the Rubicon when he seized Rostov. After that, it was win or die and he ruled out winning. It wasn't hard to figure out what would happen next.

You are correct. Doesn't make it an unstupid death though.

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the consequences of my actions!
