whether people here realise it or not this would be a horrible thing for the world.the establishment would put in someone whose political views are totally different than the previous administrations.after nov 22nd 1963,all of JFK's policys whether people want to accept it here or not,were reversed by LBJ..vietnam,elminating the CIA,the fed,everything.fact.
I just pray to god "not that I believe in one.lol" that Putin is fine and we here news of him soon. the fact he has been in the process of getting Russia off the dollar "which is why i wish he was the president of the united states," I have a bad feeling about this. Just hope we hear that he is fine soon.

Interesting. I'm not sure wether to be happy about this or not. Maybe he's just sick, perhaps?
Some are suggesting that Nemtsov was killed by someone in the Kremlin to send a message to Putin. "If a politician can be killed right outside of the Kremlin, it's not impossible to assassinate the president."
Of course this assumes Putin didn't order it himself. What almost everyone seems to agree on is that there had to be some level of complacency or malice somewhere in the government for it to happen.
Putin will probably turn up in a few days perfectly fine. I'll bet you he was just having a routine surgery on his shoulder or something like that.
I think it's 90% likely that Putin had Nemtsov killed. 5% chance that someone else in the government gave the order but Putin signed off, 4% that someone else in the government did it without Putin's knowledge, and 1% chance of something else entirely.
Some commentators suggest that Putin wouldn't have ordered the killing of Nemtsov because as Nemstov is a former Deputy PM, this would create a precedent whereby former leaders can be assassinated by their rivals, and Putin may still want to ensure that--if he's ever removed from power--he'll be safe as a civilian from score settling.
Personally, I think Putin is operating under the assumption that he'll hold power till his death, so those considerations wouldn't occur to him.
