Better luck next time.

Putin is now faced with immediate terror. This is good. He'll become more erratic.

He's already paranoid, and probably will only become more so after this. And as you say, he'll become more erratic -- and make more strategic blunders as a result. These actions will only further damage the image of his power and authority.

Hitler also had numerous attempts on his own vile dictator body

Godspeed to them!

Another excuse to tighten his grip?

Remember the apartment bombings, right at the beginning of Putin's reign? He may have done that himself. I don't doubt that he is a terrorist.

they will succeed next time. (like the judges and others trying to stop TSF here do)

If one of my cars blew up I'd be a bit "paranoid" too.

The Russian people deserve democracy. There are many good people in Russia that are opposed to Putin and want to be free. We failed to help Russia become a lawful and proper democracy after the Soviet Union fell. That was a mistake. Anyway, I wish that Navalny were still alive to see this. I stand in solidarity with any Russians that want democracy and an end to the Putin regime.

S'matter, Pootie-Poot? Your own people getting tired of the meat grinder?

They aren't all assassinated or stumble out a 20-story window, but it is remarkable how few of them pass gently.

I hope to still be walking this planet when it is time for Putin, Trump, and Musk to go.

Always make your wishes specific when invoking The Universe! 👍🙂

In the list you linked, most of the dictators lived into their 70s and 80s - well beyond average life expectancy in their countries at their times.

Hitler and Mussolini were unusual because they started a world war and then lost. It's more strategic not to do that. Mao, Franco, Idi Amin, Castro, many others just settled into their own countries, ruled with cruelty and fear and lived in wealth until they died.

Putin might be leaning into starting a world war, though. Wars create instability. He should have taken the Franco route.

Well played!

It packs a lithium-ion battery which can drive the car if the main engine's not available for some reason, and includes a battery heater for cold weather: https://www.aluminas.ru/en/media/news/the_senate_and_king_cold_northern_test_car_aurus/

I wonder if he is going to make someone test the food...............

All I can say is "good."

Boom.

...asking for a weary world..

the Ukrainian Intelligence Services, I want them on my side. This is what big balls really looks like Musk, not taking away grandma's social security check.
