- rm_-rf_slash 10y agoDead link?
- alanh 10y agoWho are Prevendra? Are they reputable?
- trhway 10y agoCan't connect to Prevendra now. Anyway, the news sounds close to the recent couple days events in Russian news - high level arrests in FSB cyber and connected Kasperky's employee(s).
- empath75 10y agoI've seen this in a few places, and my suspicion is that someone on the trump team that got access to classified briefings on the election hacking leaked info back to their Russian handlers, which is probably going to cause these people to die. If that's true, we're well past impeachment and in to treason territory.
- logicallee 10y ago>which is probably going to cause these people to die. source? My understanding is that spy stuff is a giant circle jerk where high-IQ bored people sit around taking tax-payer dollars.[1] Why would they kill each other? That just ends the game. what makes you think anyone kills spies anymore? [1] you'll literally hear them make statements like "Hey, I thought this was going to be interesting! I'm just sitting around listening to other people's boring conversations all day." Well yeah that's what you signed up for.
- travmatt 10y ago>what makes you think anyone kills spies anymore? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko In your opinion, what do you think his profession was?
- zde 10y agoThat's not how state actors kill people.
- alanh 10y agoRadiation poisoning? Seems to be a Russian favorite means of asssassination in the last decade or so, in fact Edit actually I didn’t realize Litvinenko was the same famous case I considered part of a bigger trend and I don’t see other cases after a quick Google. Disregard my comment, with my apologies. I thought I remembered a larger pattern. That said, more generic poisoning does seem to be a pattern: https://www.google.com/amp/s/timeline.com/amp/p/4256eafcd76c https://www.google.com/amp/s/timeline.com/amp/p/4256eafcd76c
- zde 10y agoCould you elaborate? The Wiki page does not seem to mention any other case of radiation poisoning.
- deleted 10y ago[deleted]
- drvdevd 10y agoThe radiation poisoning was certainly strange though. Any idea why this was done?
- pulisse 10y agoBecause it sends a very clear signal that the assassination was done by a state actor (radioactive polonium requires a nuclear reactor).

- sremani 10y agoThanks for the link. This seems to be more like Intra-Russia thing to me, FSB - Kremlin dynamics playing out.

- AvidCadaver 10y agoLooks like Donald and Co. are giving up our intelligence assets now.
- AvidCadaver 10y agoLooks like they only give up the very best assets. Lots of intel. Gave them up bigly.
- squozzer 10y agoMaybe Putin is covering his tracks.
