drol 12,122 Posted June 16, 2017 Al Baghdadi has been killed at least 15 times. No one has confirmed it this time, so it's simply a hoax as usual. Real death of Baghdadi will be announced by the US in 30 seconds and make the front story of BBC, CNN and every other news source in the world. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,263 Posted June 16, 2017 Just now, drol said: Al Baghdadi has been killed at least 15 times. No one has confirmed it this time, so it's simply a hoax as usual. Real death of Baghdadi will be announced by the US in 30 seconds and make the front story of BBC, CNN and every other news source in the world. Right now, Russia is trying to confirm. Once they know for sure, they'll announce it. The US doesn't always win by the way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JTrost1234 21 Posted June 17, 2017 I always mix up Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Kohl. That is why I also thought he was in his 90's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted June 17, 2017 1 hour ago, JTrost1234 said: I always mix up Helmut Schmidt and Helmut Kohl. That is why I also thought he was in his 90's. They used to be on the deathist together in 2015, and while only Schmidt died, Kohl also had some "close calls" that year. (And at 87, he was almost a noneganerian, frail and wheelchair-bound – and seemed like one step from the grave, like George Bush Sr. now.) Kohl's death leaves Schröder as the only living ex-chancellor (Budeskanzler) – vs. 12 living ex-Prime ministers in Italy. Tells a lot about differences in political stability in the two countries. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBigBB 34 Posted June 17, 2017 I was really surprised when I came here today and found that he was actually NOT on this year's list. Oh well. I suppose if all 50 of the selections die this year then there will be nothing to regret. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
