There is only a very small group of people with the skills, resources and motivations to do something like this and I am positive none of them happen to be random freelancing criminals.
- dxdm 6y agoYeah, they're not criminals, they were framed! They're definitely not random, and while they're technically freelancing, they don't take any money in the end. You're also talking about the A-Team, right? :) Jokes aside, what do you know about the circumstances of this theft to make such a judgement? For all we know, security might have been quite lacking for reasons to do with incompetence and/or corruption.
- xtiansimon 6y agoWell. At least Ivan hasn’t lost _another_ submarine!
- mhoad 6y agoThe strategic importance of what was specifically stolen and where it came from paint the most textbook picture of an intelligence operation that you are likely to see in a news headline. This isn’t at all like the collapse of the Soviet Union when shit of this scale would just randomly go missing. I assure you that Russia would have a lot invested in preventing this from happening and the level of planning and inside knowledge is going to instantly rule out anyone except a very small group of actors.
