Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Indeed. It's about dick swinging. A scare tactic, a demonstration of power and two fingers up to the West.
There was an article written by the BBC a while back about his background during the Cold War. It's quite an interesting read...

I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Russian state TV.
As I said already: this is humiliation.
Putin disposes of political opposition with trumped up jail sentances or worse! The electoret are proud of the mother country and thier strong leader. This incident warns political opponents of what he is preparred to do and makes him look strong for Russia at home. It also tells the world Russia is not to be messed with (notice how they have no ISIS terrorist incidents despite backing the Syrian government against them).
It's all rather neat and positive for Putin given that the repercussions will be swept aside and quickly forgotten. All that left wing richousness won't work with this one sadly.
The Russian jet blown up over the Sinai?
The bombings in the Moscow underground?
like when someone accidentally falls down a really big staircase quite a few times
if I were you I'd be very wary of a new fella joining the forum asking a few too many questions about pickups
I wonder what a graph would look like that plots the number of accidents etc that happen to opposition types with time..
and then see if there is a trend where these events start to increase approaching election days
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
To me, that's like blaming Germany if an ISIS terrorist uses a VW camper Van to run down and kill a few people.

Sometimes you can't get certainty about things. If the evidence shows a 95% degree of probability that someone intends to kill you, and you can never have incontrovertible proof, and that he will succeed unless you shoot him first, you have a choice to make. I don't think the West can have the luxury of not reacting to Putin because it can't turn virtual certainty into absolute certainty.
