I am open to the likelihood that the Russian power structure engages in evil. They are a large institution. I have no loyalty to them any more than any other large institution.

But perhaps especially if what you and jet199 are focusing on is true, my original post comes even more into focus. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that the Russian government does do these things, why not call them out on things that can be solidly proven? Why choose to focus on events with so many inescapable logical contradictions at the foundation of the story?

When someone critical of the Russian government is disappeared or something happens to them, the chief suspect is naturally who stands to benefit from it. I don't think that some of the assassinations being botched makes it illogical that Russia was behind it. Not all of the US assassinations have gone swimmingly.
