15. A good thread from yesterday

Three things to remember:

1. The FSB faked an assassination-attempt on russian media-personality and pro-war propagandist Vladimir Solovyov.

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.
