Military culture and fetishism, not even once.
Am I being unreasonable if I think these outlets should make it crystal clear in the title whether it was an assassination or not?
Right now, I’m picturing a Joker situation where the kid get the grenade from a comically huge yellow and purple giftbox
Yes. It should be completely unambiguous, something like “Russia suspected in tragic birthday death of Ukrainian official.”
That way, no one gets confused and their audience won’t get the wrong idea and start thinking for themselves or reading beyond the headline.
It was Russian special agent Vile E. Koyotyom
Best idea for a birthday present
This is a really odd story. Does someone that high in the military not know how the safety features of a grenade work? Aside from “don’t let a kid handle a grenade” this seems avoidable on multiple levels

I’m struggling to understand what possessed him to pull the pin. Was he that certain it was a fake?
It happened AGAIN? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64010682
Gennadiy got grennadiyt
Dang, that’s a weird headline.
I thought he was assassinated.
