Isn’t it nice to live in a country where the party in power kills those in the opposing party? I understand there is at least some suspicion that Putin had the plane shot down with what he felt was his opposition. I don’t know for sure, but I certainly would not put it past him. Putin is a controller who has the desire to control. Anyone that threatens that control is in danger of losing his life, or maybe more.
Of course, we don’t do that sort of thing here, do we. Now given another couple of decades, who knows. Of course we are well on the way to incarcerating the opposition and everyone associated with him. That is not that far away from Putin, is it.
