Exactly, they depend on big brother USA.

The chairman of Russia’s second-largest oil company, Lukoil, died Thursday after reportedly falling from the window of a Moscow hospital where he was being treated after suffering a heart attack. Ravil Maganov, 67, fell from a sixth-floor window at the Central Clinical Hospital around 7 a.m. local time, the state-run Tass news agency reported. It was not clear whether Maganov’s death was an accident, a suicide or something more sinister.

Maganov’s unexplained fall is at least the sixth fatal incident this year involving high-profile Russian oil and gas executives whose lives ended in gory or murky circumstances.

In April, the body of a former top manager of gas giant Novatek, Sergey Protosenya, was found at a Spanish villa alongside those of his wife and their 18-year-old daughter. Spanish news outlet Telecinco reported that police found the mother and the daughter in separate rooms with stab wounds. Protosenya was found in the yard, where he reportedly hanged himself.

A former vice president of Gazprombank, Vladislav Avayev, was similarly found dead in April alongside his wife and daughter in their Moscow apartment.

A month later, former Lukoil tycoon Alexander Subbotin died of heart failure in the Moscow region after reportedly receiving homeopathic treatment from a shaman, who offered his clients injections of toad poison.

Didnt some of the windows in the old Charity ORs open?

Wouldn't an occupying force holding a certain position also have their equipment with them at the time?

All I can say is - the way Biden has handled Russia in 2022 (specifically with Sec Blinken spelling out Russia’s plans at the UN ahead of time) was the right move.

It alerted the rest of the world that Russia was preparing to invade despite what they said publicly and at the UN.

Russia now has no diplomatic credibility and their military appears weaker than was expected.
