Blame CanadaRussia

[Rolepgeek]

AP has a picture of the guys freaking dead body, not sure how much more credible you get than that.

But yes, given the Kremlins history of assassinating or otherwise removing anybody influential or potentially influential that is critical of Putin and that they can get at, it's pretty much auto-guilty until proven otherwise for Russia.

Eh what
If we assume Russia is auto-guilty based on a history of being guilty, then Russia will always have a history of assassinating people who may have died by coincidence

Just cos it's probably Russia doesn't mean we should swagger about giving auto-verdicts and shit, consensus has consequences. Has the danger of causing a situation similar to the boy who cried wolf

McCarthy: The man who cried Commie?

Apparently some senior Russian citizens are not getting pensions this year , due to not having enough "pension points", the requirement for which seems to be rising extremely rapidly with each passing year.

Looks like the Russian solution to the problem of aging population will be "let them die off in poverty". Brutal.

[Strife26]

Looks like the brutal solution to the problem of again population will be "let them die off in poverty." Russian.

[Sergarr]

"Brutal" and "Russian" are synonyms anyway, who cares if you switch them in place

[WealthyRadish]

Looks like the aging solution to the poverty of Russian population will be "let them die off in brutality". Problem?

[Egan_BW]

Pardon me, but, what the heck are 'pension points'? Unless you meant 'money in the coffers'.

There has been an explosion in the St. Petersburg metro, at least 10 people dead.

It's a question that's pretty hard to answer, because it's a fairly recent "innovation". Basically, it's something you get for either working on a legal job (i.e. with job giver making payments to social security analogue), or by being a businessman. The conversion coefficient, however, is kind of shitty, and a lot of people don't work legal jobs here (for simple economical reasons), so many people are probably going to get fucked.

There have been two explosions in the St. Petersburg metro, at least 10 people dead.

Welp, it seems that ISIS has got one through. Sure took them a while, though.

Too soon to tell if it was ISIS. Putin was apparently in the city earlier that day (via the liveblog on BBC), but was in another city at the time of the blast.

It remains to be seen just where the Kremiin will take accusations of whoever did it.

edit: And apparently it was one explosion, not two.

[Sergarr]

If not ISIS, then who? The only realistic alternative are the unvanquished remnants of Chechen "freedom fighters", but the last one from them was 4 years ago.
