This is virtually guaranteed to be a deliberate disiformation piece written by an actual FSB officer for that purpose. Maybe it's only intended for splitting the Western alliance, but it could also be used for a false flag attack to further justify Russia's aggression. Or, slightly less nefarious, it could be intended to "explain" if something went wrong with the occupation of a nuclear power plant. In a war like that, people should not trust anything coming directly from an intelligence agency, whether published deliberately or allegedly leaked by a "whistleblower", unless it contains actionable and independently verifiable information. (Even if the latter is the case, by the way, it's the bread and butter of misinformation to mix less valuable real information with misinformation.) I've also flagged this thread because it's clearly political and pointless discussing this on HN.

HN is indeed a place for curiously engaging in surveillance capitalism while ignoring or minimizing "skeptically" the most important issues confronting the world. HN was great in 2008 to remind us that developments in software development meant that starting a web app was now cheap enough to actually disrupt old businesses. but that was a long time ago.

> I've also flagged this thread because it's clearly political and pointless discussing this on HN. This is political like the choice of technology is political. I.e. everything is political. This is meat hook reality blasting apart comrades of ours on both sides. This is not a debate about whether Putin should be impeached for hanging out with Aslan Usoyan.
