In reply to the discussion: RUSSIAN GROUP CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR DARYA DUGIN'S KILLING [View all]Tetrachloride
(9,756 posts)15. A good thread from yesterday
https://www.democraticunderground.com/113333827
Three things to remember:
1. The FSB faked an assassination-attempt on russian media-personality and pro-war propagandist Vladimir Solovyov.
https://tass.com/society/1442735
https://www.thedailybeast.com/russian-fsb-spies-hilariously-screw-up-vladimir-putins-assassination-plot-claim
The FSB supposedly busted a group of six ukrainian spies in a Moscow flat, who had planned to kill Solovyov via car-bomb. According to the FSB's initial reports, which were later redacted, these ukrainians spies had drugs, swastika-T-shirts, a photo of Adolph Hitler and 3 SIMS-video-games in their room.
It has been speculated that an FSB-agent was supposed to plant 3 Sim-Cards as evidence, but fucked up the assignment.
2. The russian government went to the trouble of trying to assassinate a humble anti-corruption activist, Alexei Navalny, and they went to the trouble of covering up the murder of Sergej Magnitsky who had accidently stumbled upon a cabal of corrupt russian judges and government-agents.
3. A dead Aleksandr Dugin is more valuable to Russia than to Ukraine.
To Ukraine, Dugin is just one dozens of russian propagandists. Killing him would change nothing.
To Russia, he is a martyr.
Without more info, the tweet is clickbait at best.

Putin's Rasputin must be shitting his bricks, because Russians eventually got the real Rasputin.

If I were a Ukranian waging asymmetrical war on Putin, blaming Russians is what I would do.

President Zelenskyy denies Ukraine involvement, but the news source is Kyiv-based.
