Putin Poisoning? Top Russian Rocket Scientist Suspiciously Dies Weeks After Failed Moon Landing (msn.com)
Moscow's scientific community has lost renowned Russian rocket scientist Professor Vitaly Melnikov, who died at the age of 77.
Knrewz.com is reporting that the circumstances surrounding his death have not been confirmed but initial reports claim that he succumbed to "mushroom poisoning" just weeks after Russia's failed moon landing mission.

The source of his poisoning, per a "preliminary" investigation, was credited to inedible mushrooms. Local publication Moskovsky Komsomolets (via The Sun) reports that despite the best efforts of doctors, Professor Melnikov could not be saved and died after battling severe poisoning for over two weeks.
Professor Melnikov was the head of the Department of Rocket and Space Systems at RSC Energia, one of Moscow's leading spacecraft manufacturers.
He had also built an illustrious career, working as a chief researcher at TsNIIMASH, a division of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency.
With 291 scientific articles to his name, he was highly regarded among the international space science community and had throughout his career collaborated with foreign colleagues, including those at NASA.

His death comes in the wake of the failed moon landing mission orchestrated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Moscow's first moon mission in 50 years, termed Luna-25, ended in disaster when the probe crashed into the lunar surface.
The failed landing was a devastating blow for Melnikov, who had considered it his magnum opus. He described it as his "last hope to see the revival of our lunar program."
It is important to note that Russia has witnessed a series of mysterious and suspicious deaths over the past two years, coinciding with Putin's war in Ukraine.

Western press organs and experts feel that Putin presides over a "mafia" state, utilizing murder as a tool to eliminate enemies and maintain his grip on power.
Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is the latest of the Russian autocrat’s high-profile associates to meet an untimely demise, adding to a staggering body count of at least 40 deaths linked to the reportedly ruthless ruler.
Another mysterious death to occur was that of General Gennady Lopyrev, a former top general who had been close to President Putin, per the Mirror.
General Lopyrev had been imprisoned on charges of bribery and illegal possession of ammunition - charges he had always denied.
The 69-year-old general was due to be released from prison after serving time since 2017 but suddenly fell ill. In way of an explanation for his sudden and unexplained death, it was reported that he had undiagnosed leukemia.

Prior to this, a prominent Russian opposition politician Elvira Vikhareva was also poisoned. She was a known vocal critic of the Kremlin and true to form she challenged the invasion of Ukraine.
Vikhareva, 32, shared tests with Russia's Sota news channel, illustrating that she had indeed been poisoned and started feeling unwell since November of the previous year. Her condition rapidly deteriorated and she died in February 2023.

Putin is in need of Pepto-Bismol
He's worried about his supposed friend Erdogan, he has invited him for talks at his personal playground in Sochi...Erdogan better not drink the tea. Turkey hasn't gained much of anything from cooperation with Russia and is seeking closer ties with the EU. Putin was fine Turkey making a stand alone bid for 2028 Euro, he's not happy with Turkey aligning with Italy for the 2032 Euro bid. What is being dubbed "The Roman Empire Euro". Not sure what Greece makes of this accord either.

Another former Russian general close to Putin died suddenly in prison (msn.com)
Gennady Lopyrev, a general once very close to Vladimir Putin, perhaps a little too close, seems to have paid a great price for this privileged relationship. Experts believe that he had a lot of information on Putin's secret projects, including his infamous billion dollars palace. He died suddenly suffocating in prison. He had been relieved of his duties and imprisoned in 2017 in a corruption case, charges he had always denied. Russia claims that Gennady Lopyrev was actually suffering from a previously undiagnosed illness. He was 69.

"Return of US nuclear weapons to UK would be an escalation, says Russia"
www.theguardian.com
"Don't give weapons to Ukraine!"
"Ok fine, but then don't give them drones!"
"Ok, I'm serious now, don't give them HIMARS!"
"Ok, what the hell? Last warning, don't give them DPICM!"
"Ok jokes over, don't give them main battle tanks!"
"Ok get real. Seriously. Enough. Don't give them fighter jets!"
"FUCK! Ok but no depleted uranium shells"
"GODAMMIT! Ok but bombers in the UK and I'm serious now!"
Putin is starting to remind me of that one Key and Peele sketch. Threat after threat after threat. As if he can control what sovereign nations who are factors of magnitude more powerful than Russia do.
Not to mention Russia has been using depleted uranium since the start of the war, and the UK already has nuclear capable bombers and nuclear weapons. It's very much old man yells at clouds at this point. And he just keeps looking weaker and weaker and weaker.
