    When has it ever happened in history for a dictator to stage an assassnation or coup attempt on himself? They always sell the image that they are forever beloved and wanted to be in power by everyone.

    why would he tell people that the people around him and closest to him dislike him and want him dead? This is the complete opposite of what every dictator fears to unveal. His gaurds are already under heavy paranioa. Now he openly tells everyone it’s your chance to take me out because no one likes me?

    If he wanted to blame ukraine ,it’d have been a lot cheaper and more believable if he just let a drone hit his palace.

    A malfunction of a $300,000 car engine overheating in cold weather is more believable , but realistically no. He’s is too old and has dragged his country’s economy and people lives to ruins. He is nothing but an ego at this point and does not take many decisions. This is why I’m %100 positive that not much will change in Russia after his death.

      Hitler used the burning of the Reichstag as an excuse to clamp down on political dissidence and consolidate his power. It’s still not clear whether it was intentionally caused by the Nazis or just a convenient opportunity for them.

      Pretty sure Trump staged the first assassination attempt at himself

        With evidence, please. “I reckon” is not good enough. There is no evidence that anyone coordinated this at all.

        Like fuck Trump, but if they staged it why would the shooter be a disaffected conservative and not some antifa supersoldier or whatever? Like they’re playing out their fantasies and apparently they can construct whatever reality they feel like, why muddy the waters in any way?

        I’m sorry, the reality in which the dude just sucked, the secret service kind of suck at their job, and the bullet grazed Trump’s ear rather than going into his brain from sheer dumb luck is a messy, shitty, scary place where nobody really calls the shots, but it turns out that’s probably the one we live in.

          The shooter was easily manipulated by and he was disposable.

          How do you explain the ear injury, or rather lack of?

                It bled, there are photos of it bleeding. We have all seen it.

                A wound like that doesn’t need to leave a big scar. Sure, some doctor might have been lying about the “2cm wide wound” but that’s not surprising at all. We know they’re liars and there will be misinformation around the event, but that doesn’t mean the wound didn’t exist. Head wounds bleed a lot even if they’re very small.

                You don’t have anything except a tendency to confirm your pre-existing beliefs.

          Thankfully I am not a seated judge so I do not have to base my opinions only on concrete evidence

          Everything about the 1st attempt screams false flag

            Cool story but nobody has to listen to you if you can’t be bothered to substantiate anything.

            Conspiratorial thinking is evidence of and leads to very disordered thinking. You can carry on with it if you want, I’m not your cult leader and I don’t have any say in how deranged you get.

        No. Don’t stretch the truth to fit any other narrative… as much as I hate him. It was real and two people died that day on video
