Fuck ya.  All my old training was worth it.

Russia is playing some odd game here lately.

The murder of a second Russian dissident on British soil was averted last month when police and intelligence agencies intercepted a suspected killer in London, it was confirmed last night.

In a move likely to damage already strained relations between Britain and Russia, Scotland Yard said that officers arrested a man on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on June 21 and held him for two days. He was later handed over to the immigration service and deported back to Russia.

The man arrived in London in mid-June allegedly with orders to murder the billionaire Russian exile Boris Berezovsky, a staunch opponent of President Putin, who has been granted asylum to live in Britain.

Is anyone surprised?

A pic of Putin with a gun, there's a political opponent off to the left where we can't see him.
But yes there is something fishy about Russia's recent actions.
Putin's been playing too much WiC.

Russia (switch) Soviet Union lol

all i can say is that Putin seems to be trying to push us too much. Cold war back on anyone?

Berezovsky is no saint. He's a powerful figure, with lots of connections. His billions are know to have come from several corruption schemes involving Russian national companies and Russian political figures, including Boris Yeltsin. He knows allot of bad stuff on a some powerful people in Russia, I'm sure there's people who want him dead even more then Putin.

This has much more to do with Russian politics than with cold war.

The fact that is happening inside your borders does not concern you? Murder is still illegal in the UK right?

Yeah, but the amount it has escalated is ridiculous. Expelling of embassy staff and diplomats? I mean jeez...

One word - provocation .
Either opossition or Putin's western enemies .

traditionally some embassy staff can be found to work intelligence.

i think there is more to this than some reporter getting zapped.......there is a little back and forth between the intel guys and its escalating now.
hell, russia could have found a spy and found that his handlers were working in the embassy......its all real shady and no one really knows whats going down.



during the cold war the united states and the soviet union had an agreement about what could happen in capitol cities......england never had this agreement and as a result we see things like the assassination of a defector basically in front of MI5 (bertster, help me out with the name....i remember ricin being the poison and the umbrella begin used to transfer but i forget the name and i know you remember).
it looks like putin is still playing by those rules.

I support Russia but not the assassination attempt
