Crossing the Line
It looks like Putin’s thuggery is crossing our shores. Unbelievable.
Federal and local law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting in Prince George’s County that critically injured a prominent intelligence expert who specializes in the former Soviet Union.
Paul Joyal, 53, was shot Thursday, four days after he alleged in a television broadcast that the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin was involved in the fatal poisoning of a former KGB agent in London.
Law enforcement sources and sources close to Joyal, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, said the motive for the shooting was unclear. But several sources confirmed that FBI investigators are looking into the incident because of Joyal’s background as an intelligence expert and his comments about the Alexander Litvinenko case.
Murdering his critics in foreign countries, and even shooting them on US shores is really pushing the envelope. I wonder if we’re going to end up in another cold war with Russia. They seem to be asking for it.
I’m surprised that some people didn’t see this coming…
Putin’s ex-KGB and by all signs from reports seriously paranoid and out-of-touch with reality. Add that to what seems to be personal ambition to rebuild the Soviet Union (which ain’t gonna happen) and a thirst for personal power.
The biggest dangers to Russia are NOT imaginary foes like the U.S. but internal problems like secesssionists (Chechnyan radical Moslem terrorists) and allies like China which are taking advantage of Putin’s basic character flaws to further their own political ambitions.
