Why is something so obvious to me, not obvious to others? This cannot have been carried about by large institutional organizations like Ukraine or the FSB. Why? The statue.
If you want to kill someone you don't think about making some philosophical point to the target. You blow up the bomb when the box is opened. You don't let him take a statue of himself out of the box and look at it. Whoever planned it WANTS him and others to die by their own arrogance (that a present to them from a woman can't possibly hurt them).
This is a carefully organize statement. It's personal. it's not an idea that would survive committee. A small group, independent--passionate. Killing him was not their primary goal. If the statue had blown up and he survived it would have been a success in their eyes. They delivered a message right into the center of the cowardly Zs.
Slava Ukraine indeed!
