Interesting question: Would the current administration want to escalate the war with Russia?
I don't think they want to escalate two unpopular wars heading into midterms or look as stupid as it would look if that's what really happened.
Whacky theory: He died in the blow-up, but the admin wants to cover it up in order not to have interventionist forces to take over.
RIP
I only 50% believe he died in a blow-up, but there is a logic to what you say. Russia becomes aware of what happened and desperately contacts US via diplomatic channels explaining they had no idea he was in building.
US can't really fault Russia for blowing up a clear military target that was launching attacks against Russian homeland, thus "brief and sudden illness" (ie. a fast moving chunk of shrapnel thru the head) story is launched.
In a sense having Russia killing a US senator who was hanging out in a drone factory does both sides harm with no real upside to either.
Admin now sees an opening of how it can use this development to pressure Russia to end conflict.
Time will tell...if we suddenly see Russia acting very conciliatory to US demands there may be some truth to it.
I'm agnostic about how he died, but since they seem pretty desperate to have people think Russia didn't blow him up, I'm going to stick with "Russia blew him up".
Somehow they know it was a "sudden illness". Maybe they'll just dump his body in the ocean for no apparent reason.
So you're saying Russia got him with one of those heart attack guns?
Trump claiming to have spoken to him minutes before the sudden illness suddenly killed him sounds so absurd.
He definitely didn't get blown up in that drone factory he was at that also go blown up. Stop thinking that everyone.
