re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

That's how I see it. No matter who they believe did it, it's in their interests to blame the Ukrainians and false accusations of foreign nationals is right out of Putin's playbook.

Too bad that Russia does not have a free press that could ask a couple of direct questions.

Which countries media, is controlled by their state government? Here’s a hint, it’s not the country you live in.

getting deplatformed and getting defenestrated aren't the same, baw.

You can't be serious right now. Our government gives out talking points and headlines to all major media outlets. Wake up

That’s why there are hundreds of different opinions out there, on how to deal with a certain situation. If the government were controlling what the media says, then there’d be only one talking point available for us, which is not the case.

How many compilations of the mass headlines and news stories do you need to see? The republican vs democrat fight IS the single talking point.

There are some serious believers in the media and our government ITT

Ukrainian soccer moms planting highly sophisticated car bombs in Moscow and then popping up in Estonia, all under the noses of the FSB, is a bit much. Even for the Russians.

But these are the same folks that previously gave us all the laughable evidence of Uko-Nazi cells. “ When the FSB discover the safe house of those who blew up Dugina it will likely contain explosives, a 1975 map of Moscow, the Kobzar, a framed Zelinski portrait, a Saint Javelin patch, six copies of the video game "the Sims", a green wig, a NATO laptop, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, Dmytro Yarosh’s business cards and an ‘Economists for Ukraine’ T-shirt. All guarded by a fearsome shiba inu.” We laugh but you know it’s coming…

So let’s do something different and use a bit of logic to try to fill in the blanks. First, the origin of the weapon. The bomb itself is plainly FSB or GRU. This was no mafia-style C4 wired to the ignition. From what happened and what we read about it, the maker had to have a high degree of both training and experience to manufacture this device. And ready access to the equipment used. This device provided two things – both a very high degree of reliability and a safe egress zone for the initiator. If I didn’t know better I would suspect the Israelis. It was certainly their style.

Secondly, and more importantly, why? This was too much overkill for such a laughable target. What in the world was the motive to call in such expertise to take out a flannel-mouthed drunk? Let us count the ways:

1. Money. No – Dugin and his daughter were not oligarchs and had nothing worth stealing;

2. Revenge. No – These two had no real enemies on a personal basis. They were not known to personally attack Russian government officials or any dangerous security types in Moscow. Putin was their rabbi, so no need to rock any boats;

3. Possession of dangerous information. Ok, bingo. Now this makes sense. The existence of a group of FSB / GRU members that are making plans to remove Putin may have been discussed with Dugin over the obligatory twelve vodkas. Once this mistake was realized, the pros were called in.

I’ve been wrong before, but going on what we know now, this fits.
