They are not exactly dumb, but they didn't need to be smart given how apathetic European security agencies have been for decades. Of course, Bellingcat barely scratched the surface and mainly exposed glorified hitmen rather than actual

How about actually vetting them, even if post factum? Bellingcat, The Insider et al uncovered fake identities and actual biographies of agents with a tiny fraction of resources Western security agencies have. It's actually why these ag

The reasons to have a separate range don't seem to be compelling. I'd hazard a guess no other secret service ever did that kind of blunder.

I guess major equipment items weighing many tons could be used as ore deposits, but most iron is not that. Your nails/screws/whatever are pretty much unrecoverable once corroded. In other words, humans are not an exception to the

"The early Mediterranean iron smelting started around 12th or 11th century BC. It is assumed the pioneering metallurgists sourced their coal off eBay."
