Or ukrainian agents in moscow. its also possible that this hit was carried out by by anti—fascist, anti—war russians. in either case, this has to give putin pause, and its certainly sending shockwaves to the russian elite tonight. this is very embarrassing to putin. its possible that it was carried out by anti—fascist russians who are against this war. its also possible, i think, probably more likely, that it was carried out by agents of ukraine. steve fish on the situation out of moscow o...

So attacking him really is an attack on the whole foundation, the foundational ideas that this war is based on. he apparently was intending to travel in that car and then switched to another car. so it looks like he probably was the intended target. now she would be a logical target as well. she basically carries on his legacy of fascism. she has been calling ukrainians sub—humans, calling for wiping them out like her dad has been for quite some time. so to hit them both at the same time would...
