Solving problems by whacking people out seems to be just par for the course in Russia.
I read a biography of Stalin and once you get past the early life and career it's just pages and pages of him ordering executions.

It might be whack a mole if all those disaffected fighters are running around loose after loosing their Talisman leader?
The thing with gangsters is that they all get whacked eventually. That would be the real tipping point here, if Putin goes, who the hell gonna replace him? Because believe or not, I understand Putin's not the worst of them!!
Or, if Putin gets “whacked” , someone will blame the States/West and all hell will break loose - dangerous times
Why do so many people now insert an 'H' sound into words starting with consonants. I hear it a lot lately, words like 'cannot' for instance, pronounced "c/hannot" and 'totally' is now "t/hotally". It's a weird way to speak.
Listen to Beth Rigby (if you must :)) and you'll see what I mean.
Oh Geoff, the quality of pronunciation is now t/hotally down the toilet now.
Drives me nuts, dropped G's, glottal stops instead of T's ffs.
Probably just a phase, similar to the rising inflection of the final word in a spoken sentence.
Another verbal mannerism I find grating is unnecessary insertion of "like": as in "I was like ...". :doh:
Oh, and starting every spoken sentence with "So".
Another Americanism we could do without.Quote:
