If he liked Putin's russia so much, he should have moved there.

[–] innermachine@lemmy.one 21 points 2 years ago

To be fair, I guess he thought they were gonna move to him!

he probably should have expected that

[–] lntl@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

I'm sure he knew his life was in danger.

As a reminder, betraying your country to an invader is not typically a charge that meets with a jury trial.

[–] abraxas@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

...and ends with a very quick sentence, even in countries where very quick sentences are otherwise frowned upon. Treason just seems to usually be an exception to the rule.

Why are you posting the daily Mail??

[–] masquenox@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Never collaborate with occupiers. Lots of people in Afghanistan learned that the hard way, too.

Id say that's a little different.

[–] Zippy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes you should just have supported the exsisting Taliban.

[–] Fazoo@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

Oh no... Anyway, the new BMW M3...

[–] StaticSyntax@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Oh look. If it isn’t the consequences of your own actions.

he had been awfully sad lately

[–] crow@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Must have been a bear attack. No need to look into it.

[–] KrimsonBun@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Accidentally jumped out of a window

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Usually they get yeeted out of windows, good to see they're changing it up, keeping it fresh

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should check out the podcast "Sad Oligarch" it's about the rash of Russian oligarchs and such throwing themselves out of windows, and killing their families then themselves.

[–] rumbleran@suppo.fi 0 points 2 years ago

I recommend it as well. It's not just people falling out of windows, they use all kinds of methods to get rid of people they don't like.

[–] palordrolap@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

That's the thing, see. A bullet. It is known he was murdered.

Somewhere in the Kremlin someone is thinking that this was entirely without style. So blunt. Barbarous. When a man falls from a window it is ... an accident.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Ukraine, someone is thinking "Style be damned, this was a message."

They will continue to disagree about which method is best regardless of specific situation and intended subtlety until one of them is shot or falls out of a window.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I mean…they can’t be any kind of surprise to anyone.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Those Ukrainian mosquitos are vicious!

[–] Jeff@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Well …. Bye.

[–] d4rknusw1ld@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

*cue Seinfeld … “That’s a shame…” 🍿

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Did he fuck around and find out?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Lots of people celebrating this guys murder. Sometimes I really wish reddit didn't kill their api so you blood thirsty nuts would have stayed there.

[–] nac82@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

Cry tears for a dead nazi lol

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Celebrating?

No.

Unsurprised that his traitorous actions would lead to this?

Also no.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I felt sorry for the French girls who had their hair shaved off for dating Nazi officers. We really don't know why they did it and I doubt it helped the occupiers very much.

Pretty indifferent to this.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Also apparently this happened a year ago I dunno why its being posted now

[–] Durotar@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I agree with your sentiment. People in Ukraine have right to be bloodthirsty, but it's scary when people in Germany and UK in the comfort of their homes behave like that.

[–] Airazz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I live about a hundred km from the nearest russian military base. Can I behave like that?

[–] UlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Traitor sounds too soft compared to the word we got for it in Norway, but "traitors of a country" in war rarely rouse much sympathy.

E.g. the majority of Norwegians are against the death penalty, but you would be hard pressed to find many opposing the decision to execute Quisling after the war.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

Good for him.
