Related: About this forumRussia pins murder of Darya Dugina on ukrainian woman who has conveniently already left the country.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/22/russian-security-service-fsb-claim-to-have-identified-killer-of-darya-dugina-lacks-credibilityAccording to the FSB, the assassin managed to enter Russia with her 12-year-old daughter in tow, move around undetected while frequently changing the plates on her Mini Cooper, plant and detonate a professional explosive device, and leave the country.
Supposedly, she managed to do all this without being spotted by Russias security services until after she had fled, presumably by posing as one of the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who have either sought refuge in Russia or been forcibly deported from occupied areas of Ukraine.

So, to recap:
A mystery-woman somehow drove from Ukraine to Russia despite the entire border being a warzone.
Then she drove 300 miles to Moscow.
There, instead of settling down for espionage, she tried to kill a propagandist whose death changes nothing about the war.
Then she drove 300 miles back to the border.
Then she somehow made it across the border back into Ukraine despite the whole area still being an active warzone.
I bet that Russia is really mad that there will never be a trial, meaning that they can never show off their rock-solid evidence that this ukrainian woman actually did it...

of a possible nuclear fall out which Ukraine will trigger and for them to prepare to meet their creator whom will bless them forever because they are patriotic Russians.
Further, of course those terrorist known as the Azovstal mercenaries have killed a true patriotic and therefore Russians must retaliate forthwith.

(16,670 posts)6. Yeah, let's not mince words. They are terrorists.
Blowing up civilians for regime-change? That makes you a terrorist, not a partisan. Partisans attack soldiers.
