How far will Putin go? [View all]

The latest killing related to the Trump-Russia scandal was a US citizen, of either Ukrainian or Russian birth, Alex Oronov, a resident of Hollywood Florida. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8749052 Most of the others were Russian (FSB officials) or Ukranians. We know he's tried to kill Russian emigres living in the US and successfully killed Alexander Litvenchenko (poisoned with Polonium-210) in London.

I wonder how far Putin will go? Would he take out someone like Carter Page or Manafort? Those guys are some of the worst liars I've ever seen, and Page is now spilling the beans. If Putin did order the killing of Oronov, which Gary Kasperov thinks is business as usual for him, where will he stop? Perhaps Trump's inner circle has more to worry about than prosecution?
