“Stop sending people to kill me. We’ve already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle… If you don’t stop sending killers, I’ll send one to Moscow, and I won’t have to send another.”

-Letter from Tito to Stalin

At this point Ukrainians will say pretty much anything that will keep their moral going and give them hope.

There is no way the Ukrainians would throw sympathetic FSB agents under the bus, they said they were tipped off to cause turmoil in the Russian security services.

Could be, I pretty much assume every story has a greater than 50/50 chance of being Fake News.

That’s a two way street. But as the underdog *and* the victim of an invasion, Ukraine will tend to draw more sympathy. India is backing Russia to the hilt - yet another reason to be wary of New Delhi.

As Stalin was absolutely terrified of assassination attempts I think that was probably very effective.

Fortunately, the United States doesn't have to worry about similar attacks. Our enemies know that it hurts America far more, keeping "Clueless Joe" right where he is...

Haven’t been following India’s position but India’s part of the Economic cabal over there with Russia China and Asian groups....so I’m not surprised really. Putin must have given them some sort of assurances prior.

I heard the “babushka brigade” did it.

Grandma had an AK-47 in one hand & a Molotov Cocktail in the other, while hauling a javelin missile to a Ukrainian “kill zone.”

The Russians are “Kaput” with this kind of resistance.

I wonder if Zelensky is even in Kiev, the rumor is he’s actually in Lvov near the Polish border. They are trying to pump up this guy as some kind of hero. The guy who shunned serious negotiation and intentionally leading them into a war they have no hope of winning, and which will leave their country in shambles.

These assassins were Chechen, with deep personal loyalty to Putin.

If you are a Russian general who thinks you can do a better job that Vlad, getting his personal bodyguard eliminated would be a good first move.

I didn’t know that. But it doesn’t surprise me. India is very wary of China, and Russia makes a good ally in that regard. On the other hand, Ukraine can do nothing for India one way or the other.

So I suppose India is just putting India first. Can’t really fault them too much for that.

What assassins? It’s propaganda.

Jimmy Kimmel won’t be the leader of Ukraine much longer.

Just watch, as Ukrainian “freedom fighters” start to jump ship.

Zelensky will be one of the first rats to bail.

If China is the No.1 geo political risk to the U.S, than India has to be courted more by the U.S, not sent packing diplomatically in some tantrum over Ukraine. India is far more important to America’s future than Ukraine.

One school of thought says Stalin was poisoned by Beria. But some people thinks it was Tito, and not Beria, who did the deed. So maybe Stalin didn’t take that letter as seriously as he should.
