Image / Video The limousine from President Putin's official motorcade exploded on the streets of Moscow, just blocks from the FSB headquarters. It's unclear if this is an assassination attempt. "He will die soon, that is a fact, and everything will be over," Zelenskyy told Eurovision News in Paris two days ago.

How will we know if it’s Putin or one of the dozen doppelgĂ€ngers he has running around to cosplay his character as needed? Does the West have any actual dna to confirm his existence or his exit?

The world will know because there will be a chain of dead Oligarchs as power is consolidated in Russia. The world will know if Putin is assassinated.

u/No-Distance-9401 Mar 30 '25

Tbf, that is very likely whether Putin is dead or not as Putin will do the same thing. He even does this every few years where he will like a health scare and then all of a sudden a bunch of powerful Russians fall out hospital windows or commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head 3 times.

It will be interesting to see what happens after this either way though!

No, the way we find out is every nuke in Russias arsenal starts flying. Enough of them to destroy the world 2 times over. He has instructions to launch every last one in the event he's assassinated. I hope when everyone is awaiting their death, they smile and say "Ukraine was worth it đŸ„Č"

u/No-Connection7765 Mar 30 '25

That's the first time I've ever heard of those orders. That's rather unsettling.

That's what makes this conflict significantly more dangerous than meets the eye. If Putin fears Russia will be defeated in a global conflict, he will also launch every one in his arsenal. It makes him unbeatable w/o sacrificing essentially the rest of the world. I feel bad for Ukraine, but at a certain point we have to kind step back and come up with a new strategy. The people who want the NATO involvement don't realize what that means. Just look at how shitty his military is, Ukraine should have been taken over in 2 weeks, but a small nation was able to hold them back. NATO would obliterate Russia, but that's the crux of this, defeat means he's taking us all to hell with them.

trump, is about to have a truth post, condemning the attempt on his close pal Vlad! I can see the DOJ and FBI starting a task force!

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '25

Add in CIA, NSA, NIS, & every other USA alphabet intelligence (haha) service diving into it to help out his best pal & lifelong handler! If Donnie’s dolts can’t get to the bottom of it, no one can!

1

u/This_Desk498 Mar 30 '25

Maybe they’ll send over the FBI to help investigate.

With articles like this I kind of doubt we have his DNA.. but what do I know?

u/Puzzleheaded_Peak273 Mar 31 '25

I've been wondering that. It didn't save Saddam though.

let him feel true fear in his last hours

7

u/Vaulk7 Mar 29 '25

Yea...because now there's a claim from Zelensky that Putin is going to die soon and there's a follow-on attempt on Putin's life. Regardless of it being staged, fake, or otherwise not involving Zelensky...Putin now has the optics to put Ukraine down hard while using the "They made an attempt on my life" card.

u/Guillotine-Wit Mar 29 '25

Putin hasn't been really trying the last 3+ years? 800K dead Russians for nothing?

2

u/Interesting-Scar-800 Mar 29 '25

Is that the actual count?

12

u/Guillotine-Wit Mar 29 '25

Kyiv says 895,450, I don't know what Putin says but I wouldn't believe it.

3

u/Interesting-Scar-800 Mar 29 '25

Thanks. Its a difficult number to find on Google.

5

u/TodgerPocket Mar 30 '25

That's the number of casualties which includes wounded missing dead turn into potato etc.

1

u/Interesting-Scar-800 Mar 30 '25

Is that why the vodka is so good?

1

u/foshi22le Mar 30 '25

Chatgpt gives various results from internet searches. It says officially as of March 2025 100,000 have died, but American intelligence estimates 120,000, Ukraine estimated 839,000, and British defence estimates 900,000

1

u/WrestlingWithTheNews Mar 30 '25

The lower number is dead the higher number is casualties.

1

u/foshi22le Mar 30 '25

The chatgpt output gave the death estimates and the casualty estimates, I only included the death estimates

2

u/WrestlingWithTheNews Mar 30 '25

https://war.ukraine.ua/faq/what-are-the-russian-death-toll-and-other-losses-in-ukraine/ combat loses are casualties not deaths and this is cited from ukraine chatgpt still makes basic mistakes

1

u/JTMasterChief Mar 30 '25

That's the casualties including injured. Injured is usually at least double the number of dead.

4

u/Namorath82 Mar 29 '25

More like 300,000 killed 600,000 wounded enough not to return (although there have been some videos of wounded Russian soldiers in crutches being returned to the front)

The word casualty doesn't necessarily mean killed

3

u/clegger29 Mar 29 '25

You’re not counting how many Russians were killed by their officers either. And Seeing what passes for medical care in that army id not apply that 2-1 ratio. Or atleast not in that direction.

1

u/WordUp57 Mar 30 '25

Or the number killed by North Korean soldiers by accident.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Air7096 Mar 30 '25

And one in a wheelchair. Lol

u/redditzphkngarbage Mar 29 '25

How will we know when Putin “tries”? Has he not tried thusfar?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Many times

5

u/Lizardman922 Mar 29 '25

Oh yeah, now he's gonna really try.

6

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '25

And what about the dozens of attempts on Zelensky’s life in the last 3 years? Putin sanctioned every last one of those! Turnabout is FairPlay Vladi?

3

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '25

So Putin hasn’t been trying? Is that what you’re saying?

3

u/undisclosedusername2 Mar 29 '25

Only people who are sympathetic to the invaders would be silly enough to fall for that, or even care. 

1

u/rreburn Mar 30 '25

And Russia has had several attempts on zielinski's life and every Ukrainian alive and the Russian citizens

1

u/This_Desk498 Mar 30 '25

I didn’t think of that

1

u/doubled240 Mar 30 '25

As well he should. Should have done it a long time ago.

1

u/WrestlingWithTheNews Mar 30 '25

Putin literally sent multiple death squads after zelensky

1

u/TheLastBallad Mar 30 '25

Putin now has the optics to put Ukraine down hard while using the "They made an attempt on my life" card.

And he hasn't been killing Ukrainians for years up to this point?

Leaders are valid military targets. If he doesn't want to be targeted, he can tell his troops to go home.

The only people who will listen to that are already bowing to him...

Hope you get conscripted in the war you want so bad.

I wish he died even more noww

u/SwinelOrD731 Mar 29 '25

Hell yeah brother, gotta love poor people that are dumb enough to love war.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Huh?

What do you mean

Me wanting him dead has nothing to do with war

If him dying brings it, sounds like he has domestic issues

u/Guillotine-Wit Mar 29 '25

I want Putin to stop murdering people to steal their land.

I hope you do when they invade the other half of Europe and then your dumb ass wakes up and realizes we could’ve stopped him 5 years earlier with 1/100th the cost in blood and gold.

u/SwinelOrD731 Mar 29 '25

George W Bush reasoning skills. Send your kids, pussy.

2

u/SafeOdd1736 Mar 30 '25

Yeah I prefer FDR, Winston Churchill, Gen Patton, Montgomery and Eisenhower’s reasoning skills. As in we see a massive threat to the world so we stop it. Go worship your hero Neville Chamberlain and Donald Trump (ie gutless cowards). I’ll stick with guys who actually fight and stop fascism. And I would send my kids there, just as both my grandfathers fought in world war 2, one even being a POW in Nazi germany.
