This isn’t funny.
make sure you check your railings in America before January.
Everyone else is stocking up on food and drugs.
I’m stocking up on steel railings and evacuation air pads.
You’re just blessed enough not to recognize gallows humor. We’re actually jealous of you.
Unfortunately anti-russian racism is acceptable here. When you see a headline like this, just be ready for the comments.
I’d more call it politicism, as it’s more criticizing the political state and not someones origin/heritage.
What exactly was racist?
And who said it’s funny. I’m confused
Do you seriously think Russian is a race?
Gallows humor about the suspicious deaths of people critical of an oligarchy is not racism.
Unless you are a wilfully credulous root vegetable of a person.
It’s not racism to point out that a surprising number of Putin critics have died from falling from tall buildings.

TIL Russian is a race
You need to update your vocabulary comrade. There may be new definitions of the word racism. Remember literally no longer only literally means literally. What a time we live in.
Russia isn’t a race.
It’s a failed state, ruled by a corrupt dictator.
Just like America in a couple months.
I imagine Russia is like the Star Wars setting, lots of crazy steep drops and they never install railings.
The platform where Darth Vader confronts Luke has railings, so they clearly have the parts, tools, and a guy who installs them. Maybe he’s just held up on Level B?
Or maybe they literally one have that one guy/gal installing the railings throughout the entire Republic‽
I hope ey finished the job on the Death Star and didn’t explode with it. Cause then it would be zero people installing railings afterwards
They are a contractor. They were obviously on a different job starting that before they came back to the Death Star.
Stay on the ground floor, Russians.
Heart attacks happens on every floor.
So do poisonings, and shootings but we’re just mitigating circumstances here lol.
There could always be a feral bullet that has ran away from it’s gun!
“Tragically fell from the ground floor balcony and landed on two bullets to the back of the head.”
“haha no problem, this is polonium tea”
I mean ballet dancers are known for being klutzy and prone to tripping over their own feet. Right?
Ballet stars, and their notoriously poor balance.
He seems to have astonishing balance for someone with one leg
That’s the second addition this week: Suspicious deaths of notable Russians
The f’ed up Government of Putin will try the same shit in the USA.
Coming soon to a city near you!
In another article emergency services responded with this gem.
He died a natural death. It’s not a crime.
cause of death: the natural impact of cement on the body experienced after a perfectly natural fall
Gravity, is natural, no?
Lead is too
How long before windows make it to the statistics of average deaths per-year in Russia?
I honestly wonder if the Kremlin figured the ratio of trained military personnel to dissidents needed to keep pushing people out of buildings.
This just piles up on the reasons Russia needs to be denuclearisased, putin getting ousted, democracy installed and so on.
Good news Russias economy is in the toilet and someone has started flushing already, Ukrain will prevail and hopefully we’ll have peace one day.
More realistically, he’ll probably die of old age or be ousted by someone younger and more exciting to the wealthy elite that keep Putin in power. Real change may come after that, but a change in leadership is not going to immediately fix long term issues like corruption, wealth disparity, etc.
True. Another possibility is that the economy (and infrastructure gotten their maintenance money stolen for 20 years and starts to crumble) goes down with a skyrocketing inflation going to the moon killing the ruble, and who knows what happens when you can’t pay your army any more …
Interesting times for russia.
Oh, so China expands to fill that void and hands out a portion to Kim Jong Link before repainting things?
I doubt the USA would let them do that freely, but it’s an interesting take.
Take it with a grain of salt, as I am not an expert, but it looks like China would prefer an ‘independent’ country that is ruled by Chinese government in secret. That way they don’t need to fix and repair all the shit, and can only spend bare minimum of effort needed to keep
slavescitizens alive
I think they will become a Chinese vassal.
I don’t know exactly what that’d look like, but the pure economic/political dynamics make it seem kinda inevitable.
A unified China/Russia alliance sounds like a player in a near future sci-fi, so I’ll take that as a good sign
A unified China/Russia alliance
The Red Alert and Generals cross over we don’t want!
Unless the Russians violently purge there elites, a new dictator will take the seat before the corpse is cold. He may even hold a sham election to “legitimize” himself as the best person to sand next to a window with.
Russia is Game of Thrones in real life. I wouldn’t bet on positive change there.
This just piles up on the reasons Russia needs to be denuclearisased, putin getting ousted, democracy installed and so on.
Indeed and same goes for israel or USA. Every nation involved in shady actions should be denucleariased and its politician held account for their crimes.
Good luck with that.
“in an apparent suicide, putin critic ________ shot himself in the back 20 times. more at 11”
He’s gonna do it again at 11? Damn, that’s super sus.
Gotta give him time to reload.
They really could use some railings over there.
Can’t believe she jumped, never know who’s suicidal…
“He”. No unwanted misgendering please.
