What a disappointing guy. The least he could have done was take out Putin before he died.

If Putin dies you're not getting someone nicer, you're getting someone significantly worse. Of the United Russia party he's pretty much a moderate force within the party compared to the alternatives. And there isn't any other party that would magically assume power if he died.

I'm fully expecting Russian media to explain how those evil Ukranians sneaked a missile battery or a fighter jet into Moscow airspace and shot down a plane that just happened to contained Putin's mortal enemies.

Never discount that a deal was reached and this was their way or his way of going in retirement with a new identity - faked death.

When it’s hard to toss a man out of a window. Or shoot or poison him. Just down his plane. Easy.

Sometimes in life, you just gotta go wherever your heart takes you, no matter how many people try to tell you it's a bad idea, and even if it doesn't make sense - especially when it doesn't make sense!

This was not one of those times.
