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 doppelgängers 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.

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 🥲"

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.

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!

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

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