If they didn’t do the killing, why would they go through with a disinformation campaign just to disavow any involvement? That makes absolutely no sense. You don’t do a disinformation campaign if you had no involvement in the killing to begin with.
Also, I should remind you that he killed General Walker on their orders, so this would not have been the first time the KGB hired him for a hit. In fact, the KGB has sent out PLENTY of assassins directly tied to their department, even having an entire department dedicated to foreign assassinations, Department 13.
And you’re assuming that neither the Russians nor the Cubans would do such a thing just because they feared a nuclear war. Have you EVER considered the possibility that maybe, JUST maybe, the Soviets were willing to do such an action precisely BECAUSE they knew the American government would be reluctant to pin the blame on the Russians after the fiasco in Cuba? That we too were also afraid of a nuclear war?
Also, Jack Ruby was a Cuban operative who most likely conducted the hit to silence Oswald in case he talked, and there’s evidence that Ruby himself was also taken out via poisoning for similar reasons. I’m pretty sure the Mafia does not have access to devices that can poison a person and make it seem as though they died from cancer, which means it could only be either the Soviets or the Cubans.
No, it makes perfect sense particularly when the theory was Lone Assassin. The KGB was smart enough to see that LHO was being tied to the USSR and Cuba and that could easily have blown up in their faces.
How do you get the idea that KGB disinformation efforts are ongoing and cover many areas? They didn’t start or stop with the JFK killing.
He did not kill Walker. KGB would have NEVER had an assassin use that rifle. And almost all the assassins sent out are completely unknown, not running around acting provocatively and implicating USSR and Cuba.
I am assuming that all states act in their best interest and the USSR has never taken out the leader of a major country just on a whim. But particularly when it is redolent of danger with no advantage.
There was NO advantage to this to the USSR.
Your speculation about Ruby is even less convincing. His relation to Cuba was strictly as a Mafia bagman and gun runner at its behest. He had no relation to Castro and no one with any credibility has claimed otherwise.
