A hideous approach spiegel.de Moscow - The Justice Ministry in Moscow classifies a group called "Soldiers' Mothers of St. Petersburg" as "foreign agents" one. The mothers had been requested by the Kremlin information about the whereabouts of their sons. welt.de "Why are our children in the Ukraine?"

Well, of course assassination is an option. Drones are probably not going to work as they won't make it all the way to Moscow. But while drawing up plans for assassination, keep in mind that in good tit for tat enactment, a chess playing nation would already have made comparable plans in revenge. Or not comparable plans but noocular retaliatory. One wouldn't want to successfully assassinate Putin and maybe a handful of generals, or a whole town hall full of people during a Putin presentation for hours that he does from time to time, only to have the response make a very large mess. Assuredly there would be a response. Remember that the best laid plans of mice and men don't outlast first contact with the enemy. What you think will happen with your undoubtedly excellent plan might have nothing to do with reality at all, no matter how much careful thought goes into it. That's because countervailing thoughts are not limited by any plan you might make. As examples you can consider the outcomes so far in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were simple little states without the wherewithal of Russia, and their ally China. Afghanistan was one step up from stone age. Of course the eastern Ukrainians depend on support from somebody and Russia is very interested in providing sufficient support to prevent NATO aka USA installing rockets even closer to Moscow. Putin made reference to the siege of Leningrad for a reason. Of course Putin deploys propaganda and lies as he considers them useful, as does the USA. The verbal behaviour is irrelevant other than for propaganda which the USA uses to suck in the suckers. Mqurice
