North Korean envoy 'drowned' in Moscow pond: Reports

That sounds awkward.
Did they run out of windows? Or did the window overlook the pond?
- The funny thing is that this probably was actually an accident, but is Kim Jong Un going to believe that?
  
  I don't know that I buy 'just an accident'.
  I'm not stupid enough to think that it was necessarily Russia, though. But seriously, how many people die randomly swimming. Particularly when they probably have some security standing on their every move?
  
  Probably wanted that guy gone anyway. Why waste space on a plane for someone who can eat all your delicious ~~dirt~~ definitely edible food.
- When you think about it, isn't a pool just a very large window?
- Sounds like the sanctions are working.

He didn't fall out of a window? That's a change.
- Maybe the pond was below his window.
- Must have been the new hire who did it, they forgot to read the instructions.
- The window guy had a packed schedule.
- Didn't like the taste of the polonium tea so they had to improvise.

Drowned out of his 11th story window.
- I spit on my phone when abruptly laughed at this.

Not the first time a politician was found in a pond in Moscow. ofc yeltsin was just drunk and fell into a lake, again. Not that he didn't hold it against the soviet for pointing this out.

And these are the people republicans think are “not so bad”
Remember that when it’s your family randomly dying by “some freak accident “
- Putin stated he preferred Biden.
  Netanyahu stated he prefers Trump.
  Flip it around and find the truth.
  
  Remind me which country was it that was running election interference for trump?
  
  Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
  Every statement made by a conservative should be disregarded as a statement made in bad faith.

  Putin stated he preferred Biden.

  US intelligence assessments found Russia tried to influence campaigns to help Trump win in 2016, and again in failed 2020 race against Joe Biden.
  you better believe we have plenty of proof it's also happening right fucking now, oh but that doesn't matter cuz pOoTiN sAiD hE wAnTeD bIdEn!!!! Yes he prefers the man that wants nothing to do with him instead of the man that wants everything to do with him to the point of destroying NATO and handing over ukraine. He's been spending resources on helping Trump for years now but definitely wants Biden to win, yep.
  Fucking unbelievable how foolish people are. It's a wonder you manage to even draw breath.

Putin is double crossing the North Koreans? lmfao with friends like that who needs enemies?

Drowned in bath tub while he was kneeled washing his face.
- He was also trying the "high velocity lead shampoo".

Reminds me of that scene in Barry where the Chechens bring in this super assasin. They pine over him and his prowess then he just shoots himself. They bring in a Norrh Korean Military expert to deepen ties and he accidently drowns...

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Guess he didn’t swallow!

- Once the Russians started using the ammunition sent by North Korea, they encountered unforeseen problems.
  Oh no I'm fatally sure that pretty much everyone foresaw these problems.

WW3 between... Russia and North Korea, with... uhh... allies? It's weird because both China and USA would want to get involved, but neither would know on which side. Imagine USA allying with China to help North Korea fight Russia by mistake. That would be embarrassing.

So is the honeymoon over?

The envoy had probably never seen clean water before and wanted a closer look.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The head of an elite North Korean military delegation that was deployed to Russia last week has been found dead in Moscow, according to local reports.
Newsweek couldn't independently verify the reports and has contacted Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment by email.
Kim and his delegation departed from Pyongyang on July 8, the news agency Yonhap said, on the first public visit by North Korean officials to Russia since Pyongyang and Moscow signed a new strategic partnership agreement in June.
According to SHOT, as a heat wave swept Russia, Kim, 64, went to the Bolshoy Gorodskoy Pond in Moscow for a swim to cool off, and "disappeared."
North Korea and Russia have deepened their ties since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of neighboring Ukraine in February 2022.
Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said in June that Article 4 of the new agreement reached between Russia and North Korea during Putin's historic visit requires either party to deploy "all means at its disposal without delay" to provide "military and other assistance" should one nation be attacked.
The original article contains 427 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

if he was hot he should have just opened a window...oh...oh wait...
