before the current GQPee psychopath. Chimpy is envious that Krasnov is now getting to enact the agenda that all previous recent puke presidents yearned for.

Hey, U.S.: stop enabling GQPee psychopaths to get into the presidency.

He cannot secure his own safety.
His personal cars get blown up.

So I don't think he did it on purpose.

It was either an attempted hit or a message to Putin.

He is a different personalty, a different kind of psychopath.
He is quite smart, focused, keeps his eye on the ball.
Would not do a foolish stunt like this.

Especially one that makes him look weak.
And he could not care less about sympathy from the Russian people.

He is angry that Putin will not negotiate the end of the Ukraine war?
Or Putin has double crossed Trump?

It is also possible that Ukraine did the car bombing.
Perhaps the Russian oligarchs did it.
The Russian economy is in the toilet thanks to Putin.

It is embarrassing for Putin to have an attempt on his life.
He wants to be the ultimate strong man.
People blowing up his personal limo makes him look weak.

Besides there are too many people now who want him dead.
The Russian oligarchs have been hit hard by the crashing Russian economy.
All of Ukraine wants him dead.
And Trump may also want Putin dead.
The Russian people are not happy with Putin.
The Russian military is not happy with Putin.

Ha, even China is probably fed up with Putin at this point.

It is well known he loves the Russian female gymnasts.
And has insisted coaches give them drugs to keep them pre-pubescent.
Not showing adult sexual characteristics. He even has one of the gymnasts stashed away somewhere.
With children.

I also saw a film clip of Putin in public greeting the public.
I was shocked by what I saw.
Putin sees this young boy, goes up to the young boy and seems fixated on the kid.
Starts caressing the boy's chest and staring at him in a sexual way.

Yes we also know Putin is involved in sex and drug trafficking rings.
This is one way he has the cash to bribe so many American officials.

Yes Putin is really screwed up.
