    It’s quite possible that he had taken the opportunity of being in a country with easier access to alcohol and drugs to go on a bender and ended up drowned. Remember Yeltsin standing outside the white house in his underwear pissed out of his gourd trying to hail a taxi to get pizza?

      Pretty sure that was before my time.

      I don’t suppose you have a video? Asking for a friend…

      Though, again, their security detail is total shit if they let a drunken slob get that pissed and drown.

      Delegations going abroad don’t get to go without an escort. especially from countries where the risk of defection is insanely high.

      I remember a few years ago, Russia had an unseasonably warm summer and a rash of drownings because they got drunk and couldn’t swim.
