A week from now, he’ll blame Ukraine again. Two weeks from now, he’ll say it was Biden’s fault the Russians invaded Ukraine. Three weeks from now, he’ll say it’s Obama’s fault Ukraine invaded Russia. In a month, he’ll say Ukraine belongs to Russia. In six weeks, he’ll say he solved the war between Ukraine and Russia and deserves a Nobel Prize.

Am I wrong to think this might actually be suicide? He’d just been fired; his life was just going to get worse and he knew the government would put him in prison and then quietly kill him eventually, so he took his own life. Putin favors defenestration, anyway.
