Full title: A secret Russian assassination squad has proven 'they can get to anyone' in Europe but there's just one problem — they're really sloppy about it
Revelations of an alleged Russian intelligence operation to murder opponents and spread chaos across the European Union were met with a mix of wonder and derision in the intelligence community. Russia's decision to return to formalized violent operations in the West has "proven they can get to anyone," a source told Insider. But in many cases, the Russians' sloppy tradecraft has meant their "secret" operations are almost immediately noticed.

The Hildabeat, not as a target, but as a person interested in hiring out services.
It’s a very fine line between sloppiness and sending a message
Wouldn’t be hard here either. Just cross the border.. blend in with every illegal and get your free stuff.
No taxes, free healthcare... I assume it is the same in Europe.

More than one nation can play that game Vlad.
I can attest to that.
Remind me who that is, and how his story plays in.
I’m not getting the connection. I’m sure it will make sense when I do.
