Russia - threadbanned users in OP

An awful pity Dugin wasn't taken out. No pity for his daughter either she was a nasty piece of work.

How dare Dugin react to his daughter's death, what about all the Ukrainian daughters?

Hypocrisy begins at home.

Looks like an assination?

I thought Russia opened that can of worms themselves killing and raping children not to mention poisoning of ex spy's children and people with no connections whatsoever. In fact it was pure luck they didn't kill half of Shrewsbury. But of course this incident is the one that opens a can of worms.

You cannot make any assumptions regarding this assignation. You would have to question any evidence presenting this as an attack by Ukraine. Look even at the first disinformation that came out claiming she was driving her father's car.

There will definitely be an attempt to blame Ukraine. There will be an attempt to try to link it to there government or military.

But this attack is as if not more likely to be an internal Russian matter. Look at the internal attacks in the last three months at military targets in Russia. There must be question being asked about the level of corruption that has left the Russian army and it military hardware the way it is. The millions siphoned off to military contractor and the like of the Wagner group to whom she was close.

It's hard to believe that the CCTV was switched off there for two weeks without it being an internal Russian matter

Shrewsbury? Shurely shome mishtake, as the Eye would say? Salisbury, anyone?

She was in the same business as her father, not an innocent victim like those daughters.

The possibilities.

1. Ukrainian spooks/military did it.
2. An angry individual Ukrainian did it.
3. Russian opposition group did it.
4. US spooks did it.
5. Russian opposition group did it with assistance of US spooks.
6. An Anti-Putin group within the Kremlin did it and invented a opposition group called the NRA as a cover.
7. Russian intelligence did it in order to point the finger at Ukraine.

I think 6 and 3 are most likely.

Russia must also pay huge reparations as part of any settlement. They have brought or caused great destruction to Ukrainian infrastructure cities, towns & villages in the east. And murdered many ordinary citizens as well as combatants.

Hopefully this is the start of a fightback by the opposition.

The higher-ups will have security details, security sweeps etc. They will be harder to get to.

Someone like this has been vocal, has been on the media and people would recognise her.

Her elimination (even if a partial failure if her father was the intended target) sends a message that even if we cannot take you out, we can take out those close to you.

It also galvanises others into believing that they can be a part of making a difference.

Hopefully this is the start of a meaningful insurgency from within just like with South Africa for example.

Could take a while though and depends on their expertise and funding.

And what is the cost or repairing / replacing the target they hit? Good value for money, I'd say. I doubt that you would buy a used 2nd hand tank for that, never mind a weapons depot.

Ah but Ukrainians are sub human to be killed at will.

step closer to full mobilisation

Or most likely, will give Putin the excuse and justification he needs to double down on perceived traitors and terrorists operating on the territory of Russia. What ever way it pans out, its an interesting development. In other parts of Russia, ( Curtesy of the BBC) in the town of Volosovo near St. Petersburg ( and that's hitting close to home, or the protected species of Russian ) like many other similar towns scattered across Russia, there are loudspeakers mounted on large poles. Normally they are used to broadcast patriotic music during festivals etc. But now they are broadcasting military enlistment ad's. like " Two volunteer artillery battalions are being formed. We invite men between the ages of 18 to 60 old to join" These ads promise the sun, moon and stars to volunteers who join up. But uptake is decidedly slow, news from the battlefront is bad, and recruits who have signed up in the past lured by the attractive rates of pay, who have survived, have come home with horror stories of what is happening, and to make matters worse, they never got the promised money either. So not looking good for Putins re enlistment plans.
