Putin 'survives assassination attempt when he was targeted in his limo'

[Igel]

42. A couple of points.

1. Casus belli. Any attempt on the vozhd''s life is grounds for oppression of anybody the vozhd' doesn't like.

2. Same day, Zelens'skyi had an accident. This as the Khar'kiv front of the Russia invasion was collapsing.

First thought, "Gee, maybe it was a homocide attempt." Uncharitable, to be sure--accidents happen. Hence the term "accident."

But given my first thought, perhaps others thought, "Gee, claim *our* guy-in-charge was first in line for the homicide attempt."

As for the narrative ... It's ridiculous.
