Blogger goes boom

Well, this could be the start of something… interesting:

Bomb kills Russian war blogger in St Petersburg cafe

It appears that “Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky” was blown up by a bomb, far from the Ukrainian front lines. The guy seems to have been a Kremlin mouthpiece, so the obvious suspect would be Ukrainian forces deep in Russia. the less obvious suspects would be anti-war Russian forces… or the Kremlin itself. I’ve no idea who the guy was or how influential or important… but as false-flagged a martyr, he’ll probably have some propaganda value. Whoever was responsible, things could get interesting, as the Kremlin will doubtless use this to gin up more genocidal hate. As with the Trump indictment, it’ll be a fantastic way to distract the domestic audience away from internal problems.

    Yeah, that did no one any good.

    I can understand why the Mossad
    did what they did—but I am still miffed about Gerald Bull’s exit.

    What did that assassin ever do to better the world besides his job..
