There is no such thing as life in the #mafia, only death

"Deposed Syrian #Dictator Poisoned Under #Putin’s Nose: Watchdog"

We are not required to care

But we should take note

Observe what alignment with #Russia leads to

You too, Putin bootlickers

From corrupt politicians to little trolls online:

This is the fate you aspire too. This is what Russia offers you. Whether as cannon fodder in a stupid war, or as a symbol of failure that needs to be erased

@benroyce was it PLUTONIUM?

No it wouldn't have been Plutonium.

You are thinking of Polonium210 which is Putin's favourite radio-isotope of death.

Being poisoned with Plutonium (of any isotope) will make you sick and eventually kill you but Polonium210 will take you out really fast.

captagon would have been a meaningful choice for the poisoner

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenethylline

"Smuggling of Captagon became Syria's principal export, exceeding the total of all other exports under the Assad regime, from 2011 to 2024 of the Syrian civil war in which it ruled Syria.[5] It was the world's largest producer of the drug, accounting for about 80% of the global supply.[6][7]"
