I guess when all opposition is eliminated you will see the rebirth of the iron curtain in a couple of years.....

Investigators will conclude that this is a suicide by spontaneous non Kremlin linked bullets.

And this surprises you how? stalin murdered 10 million of his own people. China's Mao Zedong murdered 20-45 million of his own people. Putin kills one guy and you're upset? ;)

It's called communism and it's more corrupt than capitalism, but we're catching up.

One thing is for certain...he had a backbone and was willing to walk the talk.

As to the investigation...well, that one may go unsolved or some poor unsuspecting miserable soul will be exiled to Siberia to pay for his crimes...guilty or not. :rolleyes:

An unidentified attacker in a car shot Mr Nemtsov four times in the back as he crossed a bridge in view of the Kremlin, police say.

Assuming that this report is true and his body wasn't just dumped on the bridge, why, fearing for his life, would he expose himself in a place (a bridge) with no possible cover or escape other than jumping from it?

Besides a body drop, the only other thing I can think of is offering himself up as a martyr or arranging it.

You know, Robert McDonald used to be a KGB agent, I wonder what his take was on this.

The former British MP or the soon-to-be former VA head?

Actually yes I am a bit upset about him dying, and that does not somehow devalue the deaths of people under Stalin's regime. It's just sad that almost all of the opposition leaders are pretty much gone so that reduces the hope that Vladimir will be ever leave his "throne". Maybe we will see him as a mummy one day. I still have friends in Russia who do not like what is happening there and the only thing I can tell them is to get the fuck out before the next iron curtain is established.

It's called communism which translates to, the government is in complete control of the people.

Liberal/Progressive/Socialism/Communism is the path to total government control.

If you think you're free in a communist country just call it's leaders bad names and see what happens.......

islamic countries are just as bad, or worse. islam is the communism of the middle east.

Putin I do believe is intent on rebuilding a Russian Empire.

Close. His empire is what he's building.

He has never lost sight of what he wants as his empire. He is now simply putting it together "one puzzle piece" at a time.
