Well, the guy most likely to do it that way recently got blown up in his own plane, so maybe not.

Maybe he did have heart attack or something to start these rumors but it doesn't take much these days to start a false death rumor and it's way more difficult to keep a big secret.
Remember the old days when was it Andropov was dead for couple of weeks before anyone knew. I don't think they could do more than a day or so nowadays.Comment

Yeah, if I remember correctly they said old Yuri just had a bad cold and he would be fine in a couple of days. Not so much, apparently. And then there was a couple other short term old guys that came after him and died off just as fast, before they finally brought Gorby in.
Back then, we thought that was crazy, putting all those old farts in charge... even though Reagan was only a couple years younger than them. Now we have a possible matchup between 82 year old Biden & 79 year old Cheeto (their ages at the time of the 2024 election) and the 82 year old is probably the healthier of the two... at least for now.
Crazy shit then... and now. And considering that was pretty much the end of the USSR, what the fuck does that say about the condition of the US??Eat Us And Smile

I don't think Putty cunt is dead, but I do think he might be terminal. If he died, I think we'd see more of a scramble for power and more rumors coming out from more reliable sources...Comment

US Marine veteran Ethan Hertweck was killed in fighting in Ukraine.
He died helping a comrade after taking out 12 Russians in his final stand, his family said.
Hertweck is one of around 46 Americans to have died in Ukraine since the war began.
A US Marine veteran died in Ukraine trying to help a comrade after taking out 12 Russians in his final stand, his family said.
Ethan Hertweck was killed in Ukraine on December 8, just 11 days before he was scheduled to return home to the United States, Task & Purpose reported.
"He had thought of coming home before this last mission, but we know he didn't want to leave his two 'brothers' that transferred with him to the new unit," his mother, Leslie Hertweck, told Task & Purpose. "He would have been home, here in Springfield, Missouri. today!"
Hertweck and one of his comrades were protecting two bunkers when Russians attacked them.
"They both single-handedly left their post, taking out about 12 enemy soldiers and halting their advance," his mother said.
"They saved two bunkers full of their unit. Ethan made it to the bunker but had to go back for his mate, and that is when he was hit in his left upper chest above his plate, but he still tried to render aid before he passed."
The 21-year-old Hertweck died fighting in Avdiivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region, a fellow soldier said, according to Newsweek.
"He gave his life for a country and people he had fallen in love with," said his mother, per Task & Purpose.
Avdiivka has been the fulcrum of fierce fighting in recent weeks, as Russia continues its brutal assault to try and capture the city while making little progress.
Russia started its major assault on Avdiivka in October. It has seen huge losses since, in both personnel and vehicles, according to Ukraine, Western intelligence, and analysts.
Hertweck served in the Marine Corps from November 2019 to June 2020 and left as a private first class, according to his service record seen by Task & Purpose.
He received an honorable discharge for a rare blood disorder, according to his mother and documents viewed by the outlet.
He made several trips to Ukraine after the war began, first to help women and children on the border with Poland, then later returning to get his combat medical license.
He eventually signed a contract with the Ukrainian military and joined the 131st Special Reconnaissance Battalion as a medic for team Vidmak.
He then moved to a different unit, with one of his comrades, with whom he carried out his final mission.
At least 46 Americans have died in Ukraine since February 2022, many of them military veterans, Task & Purpose said.
Hertweck is one of 11 Marine veterans reportedly killed in Ukraine, per a list compiled by Task & Purpose.Comment

Russians less arrogant in Kherson Oblast after 3 of their Su-34 bombers were destroyed

Following the downing of three Su-34 fighter-bombers by the Ukrainian Defence Forces, Russian troops have reduced their air activity in Kherson Oblast and are spreading rumours of a "wandering Patriot air defence system" [some Russian news outlets said that there is a Patriot air defence system that is travelling across Ukraine to shoot down targets – ed.].
Source: Yurii Ihnat, spokesman for Ukraine’s Air Force, on the air during the national joint 24/7 newscast, on the morning of 25 December
Quote: "We never disclose how, where, and in what place we destroy air targets, except for the time. If the enemy is guessing, writing about a 'wandering Patriot' or some other air defence system, let them keep guessing. Let them understand that Patriot and perhaps another long-range system can be on one front today, on another one tomorrow, and then on another one after that.
The enemy needs to be kept on the edge of their seats. This means they will perform their tasks less arrogantly, with fewer assets and personnel. That's what happened after the destruction of three Su-34s: the enemy was no longer actively fighting in Kherson Oblast, realising that there could be a trap for them.
That's why they sent a dozen drones there and are looking for something that destroyed their jets."
Details: Ihnat confirmed that the Russians are trying to find out what shot down their Su-34 bombers. Russian drones have a reconnaissance function, so even reconnaissance UAVs must be destroyed, he said.
Background: On 24 December, Ukraine's air defence destroyed two Russian military aircraft – a Su-34 on the Mariupol front and a Su-30 over the Black Sea. In addition, three Su-34 fighter-bombers were destroyed on 22 December.
