War is pretty ugly. Have the Russians conducted assassinations like this? They constantly hit Ukraine with cruise missiles but I haven't heard of infiltration activities. Probably a lot harder for them than Ukraine.
There have been arson attacks within Europe and there was an alleged attempt to assassinate the ceo of Rheinmetall, though I'm sure everyone here will say that's a psyop.
Russian tends to save their assassination budget for their own guys, Prigozhin of course, the helicopter pilot who defected, those guys in the UK who they got with novochok, various generals and oligarchs. Even assassination by proxy where they leak positions to Ukrainians so they can be hit with cruise missiles, or just stationing inconvenient people onto the front lines.
In all of European history, there was no arson until RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.
There wasn't even an attempt. There was just a US and German assertion that they foiled one. Well, I foiled an attempt on your life. You're welcome.
I'm not sure why you're repeating every piece of "intelligence" community propaganda. Do you also believe in Russiagate, WMDs in Iraq or that Russia blew up its own pipeline?
Wow, you sure know a lot about Russian perfidy. Where do you get all this secret information?
I don't agree with everything he said, but it does seem like Russia likes killing their own inconvenient people. Fact? No. But very, very strong indications. It's not secret information; they're intentionally not very subtle about it, because that's part of the message. "Shame if something were to happen to you."
The Russian state? Maybe. I don't put it beyond them, like I don't put it past the Europeans and the Americans, but this is normally asserted without any evidence whatsoever - as here. Prigozhin and the Litvinenko case seem the strongest. But every inconvenient murder or death is blamed on Putin, and people in the West of course blindly believe it.
Particularly, I'd like to see where this guy got all this information about "leak positions to Ukrainians so they can be hit with cruise missiles, or just stationing inconvenient people onto the front lines". Where he got it will say a lot about him.
The fact that a Russia Today head said, in the aftermath of Prigozhin, that she was curious as to any explanations other than "the obvious one" speaks volumes. What makes me doubt it, is why Russians would accept killing several completely innocent people, including the pilot and potentially people on the ground, to get at one or two the regime doesn't like. But maybe they do things differently over there.
