And the proof for this theory is? I'm not buying anything main stream media or our elites are telling us.
They can't present proof for their far reaching accusations? Then it must be propaganda designed to steer us into hating some government they don't like for various reasons.
If they don't like this government and believe that they can convince us by presenting facts then I'd be fine with it. But they don't do this.
> It is also interesting that as soon as War On Terror started Putin has quickly jumped on-board and also started to claim what they were doing was "War On Terror" as well.
Russia had internal civil wars in recent memory where they fought radical Islamist groups trying to establish an Islamic Emirate in Russian regions like Chechnya, Dagestan and others. And they had lots of terror attacks before this even became a thing in the West.
Islamist terror organisations were actually so strong back then in the region, that Russia _lost_ a war against them in the first Chechen war. Imagine the US loosing a hypothetical war against self proclaimed leaders of a Texan Emirate/Caliphate and ceding territory to them. You would go nuts.
These are some pretty strong reasons why any Russian leader would support a war on terrorism as I doubt you'll find a Russian politician (even within the opposition) that is in favour of establishing a Caliphate on Russian territory.

I don't know how many things can be known with certainty, but Po-210 is not exactly easy to get your hands on. As for how many people wanted him, specifically, dead, well, you tell me who had resources like that and who benefited from his death.
- DominikR 10y agoIt is reasonable to assume a government actor. Russia has a motive for punishing a traitor just as Western elites have a motive to further their Cold War 2.0 agenda. The problem is that we cannot tell who did it as our government will not give us proof.
