Even living in a bungalow doesn't guarantee anything.

you can't expect Bill Gates to solve all the world's problems.

[Old_Geezer]

Doesn't he encourage a lot of the problems ?
I get the impression he's more of a world control of the hoi polloi type of fellow.

[Old_Geezer]

Wow what a coincidence !

He just happened to fall ill, gasping for breath, with leukaemia, despite never having symptoms previously, while in a Russian gaol. Who'd have thought it ?

Are they sure it wasn't asthma ? Or perhaps he was choking on the prison cuisine.

Putin is basically the head of an organised crime syndicate. Erstwhile associates that are a threat either directly or because of what they know don't last long.

Ultimately the head himself goes when the scared underlings get together and decide they've had enough. Roll on that day.

I still chuckle over:
in putins company - keep away from windows, the opposition has a habit of falling out of them, having stabbed themselves....

sort of Happened Jan Masaryk, first faller Prague 1948

Bang Bang didnt Mme Zenlinska (wife of Ukrainian pres) say what was that? and Her husband answered " they are Russians and they have come to kill you"

“Putin is basically the head of an organised crime syndicate”

Indeed he is. It explains a lot
BRW I see Ukraine’s security service chief Vasyl Malyuk has revealed that the Kerch bridge attack last October was carried out by smuggling 21 tons of hexane onto a random unsuspecting lorry.
Bang!
