Summary

A Russian general, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, was killed by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his Moscow apartment, reportedly carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU).

Kirillov, sanctioned for alleged war crimes, was accused of directing the use of banned chemical weapons.

The attack, triggered remotely, also killed his assistant. Russia vowed retribution, calling it terrorism.

This follows a series of high-profile assassinations since the invasion of Ukraine, as tensions escalate amid Russia’s military advances.

      Terrorism is a attack on civilians.

      This was a attack on military personal so not terrorism

        Someone accused of war crimes, so about as far from a civilian as you can get, too

        I’d say it would depend on whether they could confirm the operator of the vehicle. If they could confirm it, not-terrorism like you said, he is military involved with invading another country. If they just rigged a scooter to blow and there was any chance a civilian could have accessed it instead (say his family member), then I’d say it could be considered terrorism, with the same reasoning of the pagers Israel used.

          Sounds like it was an eyes on booby trap, likely a scooter that anyone interacting with would think simply had a dead battery.

          There are pics of another scooter that pretty obviously didn’t have a bomb inside it, so probably just like every urban area now, couple rental scooters outside an apartment. Operator watching from a window or whatever confirms target and triggers it.

    Applying the US media lens for the UHC CEO’s death demonstrates the stupidity of the perspective: “he was a father, a husband, a son…” Propaganda cover. Hooray for this criminal’s death.

        Two stooges died. Both monsters who sent countless people to their deaths. Both of their deaths celebrated, one celebration critiqued by media.

        I’m not a bot and yes I’m connecting two seemingly disparate contemporary news stories. Definitely curse this general and the other guy too.

      this crew of woke niggas

      most russians are white, so i automatically assume you don’t have license to use this word

      their neoliberal drivel

      i’m anarchist, nerd. neoliberalism is fascism lite

      You’ve got your pronouns in your bios like it’s some sort of shield against criticism

      so wrong it can’t even be criticized but i’ll try, anyway. people don’t put their pronouns in their bios to avoid criticism. we do it to normalize the collective treating our trans sisters and brothers the way they deserve to be treated even if they don’t immediately present with identifiable sex characteristics of their experienced gender.

      you’re nothing but a bunch of conformist libtards

      laughable from someone telling us to conform to your ideals. i don’t even give a shit what you or your ilk do. just don’t tell me what to do with my body. it’s not complicated, yet somehow you don’t get it.

      Your blue hair? It’s not a statement; it’s a cry for help from under all that fat

      lol. the blue hair crowd is a bunch of skinny bitches and twinks. way to be unfamiliar with what’s going on in america you fucking dork

      clearly, the only lifting you’ve done is lifting ideas straight from CNN.

      CNN has an overall conservative bias as it is a for profit “news” outlet, jackass

      You’re all about “change,”

      we’re all about dismantling a system that is literally killing us

      the only change you’ve seen is in the size of your waistline

      my BF% is 13%, show me your splits

      you can’t handle the truth about your own health or the inefficacy of your political heroes.

      and who, exactly, do you think those are? because for me they’re gay black women with no political power in our system, Ukrainian women with sniper rifles, and coal miners who refuse to ever cross a picket line. the truth is they are the most loving people i have ever met, but they refuse to be trampled by your dumbass bullshit.

      Keep licking that ass, keep dying your hair

      don’t threaten me with a good time, virgin

      keep pretending you’re on the right side of history

      we are

      you’re just another bunch of low-T, high-woke

      who gives a shit? like. is that your justification for genocide? to prove you have more testosterone than us? sounds pretty fucking insecure to me, but okay

      The only thing you’re “destroying” is any semblance of intellectual integrity.

      no u
