General Discussion

Over the last 2 decades, the only circumstances I recall getting to use the word "defenestration" are in tales related to the demise of Putin's antagonists, with a surprising frequency that denies happenstance.

I think President Obama might refer to such incidents as "teachable moments."

Of course, the oligarch-friendly western press would be loathe to call out the death of an enemy of the owning class as a possible murder. Russian windows just have conveniently poor safety standards, doncha know. Nothing to see here, just another random act of Russian OSHA failure, move along.
