The thing is its not just Russia that does acts like these. Im pretty sure the USA has done lots of them too, they just arrange for accidents / stuff that can be explained away. Is it the fact that they did it in such a obvious manner? is it better if its not done in a obvious manner? |
It's all speculation if we are talking about clandestine murders, but I think it's completely unwarranted to presume that other countries do it to people who have been "out of the game" for years and years. What's the point of going after someone who was a spy 10 years ago and is just a random citizen now? There's no point except to send a message. What's the point of doing it in secret, so that no one gets the message? No point at all.
Russia acts like a thug. And a lot of their defenders, when faced with the indefensible, say, "So what?—everyone does it." No. Not everyone does it. Russia does it.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
