Ah yes killing your own people surely benefits you politically. What a dumbass.

One minor detail, his legitimacy was not waivering at all. Its as stupid as claiming that bush did 9/11.
9/11 did give Bush a pretext for the Patriot Act though, and his own presidency was not in question at the time.
To be clear I don't think that Bush did 9/11 and don't know who did this shooting. Just pointing out that Putin absolutely can benefit from it politically.
