Putin is terrified of being assassinated and is refusing to travel
abroad after a drone attack near his luxury home: reports

Russian President Vladimir Putin has long sought to project an image
of invincibility through his notorious macho PR stunts and aggressive assertions of Russia's role on the world stage.

But according to a Wednesday report in the Daily Beast that cited the
Russian independent outlet Verstka, the Russian leader increasingly
feared his life.

The report said he was so concerned about being assassinated amid the
fallout from the invasion of Ukraine that he was refusing to travel
from the country.

The source — whom Verstka described as a high-ranking Russian official
— said the feeling "behind the scenes of the Kremlin" was that Putin
was wary of traveling anywhere and that "he has no sense of security."

Some where... some time.... the last thing you will hear is the buzz
of an explosive-laden drone, Vlad. And then....

... nothing.

Perhaps.
Probably at least somewhat true.
Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Gorbachev were allowed to retire,
will Putin be allowed to?
