That's a good point. He could have been fragged or set up for a own goal. It probably wouldn't be difficult. Tell him it's safe and send him out after a bender?
You forgot the third, less plausible explanation: General was talking shit about Putin, did not realize that Vladimir Vladimirovich is always listening.
1847: Mexican–American War: On two occasions, Lieutenant Colonel Braxton Bragg (later a Confederate general) survived an attempt on his life when an artillery shell exploded under his bed.
He tried to commit suicide after the war and ended up just blinding himself. His wife left him, his kids stopped contacting him. He lived in a run down facility for years before his death of malnutrition blind, alone, unloved.
If Russia stops fighting, the war is over and everyone can go on with their lives.
If Ukraine stops fighting, Russia will kill more and destroy what is Ukrainian.
This is worth fighting for. This is worth flushing money to.
It absolutely is our war; do you think Russia will stop with Ukraine? Do you think it sets a good precedent to once again allow states to annex territories that aren't legally theirs with impunity?
It is a moral imperative to ensure that Russia can no longer engage an offensive war within our lifetimes.

could be also a translation issue as "mine" and "mortar bomb" are the same word in russian
Really or truthy/funny?
real, context would clarify it
Sposiba!
Twice?
i guess that deserves a promotion
That is a concerning amount of flag officers killed.
I'm not really concerned.
This is something like 6th ru general killed
7th with him being the 12th ru senior officer.
does this include the ones that have fallen out of windows and down stairs
they have an incredible amount of land. Maybe instead of building vertically, they should focus on single floor buildings.
Probably not.
I'm glad there are actual consequences for the people at the top. I hope the rest of them realize that too, or are dealt with in the same manner.
Only if Russia wants to win their war.
What if he was a bad general on purpose so that his troops could blow him up to boost morale?
That is a 4D chess move.
Friendly fire? When safety pin is out, Mr TM-62M is not your friend

THEY WERE ON A BREAAAAAK!
I will never forgive that casting error. He's not even a half decent actor. Barely quarter decent, even.

Damn, I hated the man but that's sad.
Unbelievable like El Macho riding the rocket shark into a volcano.
In soviet russia, army tops you. Ouch my butthole.
I just want everyone's bungholes to be safe and have plenty of teepee. It is the only thing that should ever touch your bunghole.
Putin is really working on his Evil Mastermind rep.
Well he has the "evil" part down pat.
