    the timing is extremely odd

    Right?

    Not by Putin, but the most brutal I know in the history was for the previous Japanese Emperor in 1948. They executed A-class war criminals (his father’s cronies) on his birthday. The most shocking part imo is that he was only becoming 15.

    Killed acquaintances of a kid on his birthday omg…
