Ukraine assassinates daughter of opposition party spokesman and Putin ally

Last week a car bomb exploded outside Moscow killing Darya Dugin, daughter of a close friend and ally of Putin, Aleksandr Dugin. The US believes Ukraine may have been responsible for the attack. The US also very quickly insisted that it had no part in the planning or execution of what Russia has termed an act of terrorism.

Russia Opens Murder Investigation After Blast Kills Daughter of Putin Ally

While this is a tragic event and this woman did not deserve to die the way she did, the bigger picture here suggests the potential outcome of such an act may be severe. Many wars have been started by political assassinations. This woman, a close friend of Putin, will surely strike a nerve especially considering it happened just outside of Moscow. Someone had the means to carry out this act and seemingly escape unharmed. That brings in to question exactly who might have had such capabilities and the willingness to conduct the assassination.

The closely held assessment of Ukrainian complicity, which has not been previously reported, was shared within the U.S. government last week. Ukraine denied involvement in the killing immediately after the attack, and senior officials repeated those denials when asked about the U.S. intelligence assessment.

It would seem no one is to blame if these claims are to be believed.

A car bomb in a Moscow suburb killed the adult daughter of a Russian ultranationalist who helped lay the ideological foundation for President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, a brazen attack that injected new uncertainty into the nearly six-month war.

However, according to the New York Times,

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the incident, and no evidence the killing was linked to the war in Ukraine.

Uh huh...

This happened over a month ago on August 20th. The obvious target was her father, as it was his car. What are the odds that a car bomb is planted on his car on the one day he decided to loan it to his daughter?

Old news. She wasn’t the target, her father was. Didn’t think it was proven that the Ukraine were behind it.

Does not make it any better.

So you're cool with that because Russia?

Zelenskyy is a 'Good Guy'.
Putin is a 'Bad Guy'.
It's as simple as that.

Obviously, Putin killed his close friend's daughter.

Zelensky agreed to allow the US to fight a proxy war through him, so he's gotta take the blame for anything the US does as part of that effort. Wonder if he knew he'd be blamed for this.

semi-related, take from the comments to a Marcy Wheeler blueAnon thread.

It might not even have been US/Ukraine. There are other people with an axe to grind with the Russian government, it could have been domestic. Or Chechnya related, which is not the most stable place on the planet. Or some crazy opportunist trying to push buttons.

a reply to: MetalChickAmy

this comes from a wikipedia article on her assassination. the idea that there's a completely unknown resistance faction operating with impunity inside of Russia with the goal of removing Putin, that only made their existence public so they could claim responsibility for this assassination stretches credulity with me.

documented source that shows such agreement was made. not hear say, speculation, any lend lease or loans, talking head articles, russian propaganda, or feelz, saying this is proven please. russia gave their reason for going in and they have changed a couple of times but mostly it's nazi's. which is the pot calling the kettle black seeing how he relays on jihadi's and nazi's to do his real nasty work.

i'm talking about printed documents in the form of a treaty, contract, or some other legal document that has language that that can be taken to the Hague, the UN or any kind other court, says something to the effect.

i Volodymyr Zelenskyy on behalf of the country and people of Ukraine do hereby agree to fight a proxy war for the Government of the U.S..

fact is you can't, there is no such document, or any communications of any kind ever been presented for such. just people spouting their opinion, and you know what they say about that.

What ever makes you feel good about yourself. It’s obvious she was deliberately taken out so They can see the pain in her fathers face. It’s a Democrat thing.

lol. ok be right back with that.

Seems careless--or suspicious--of our officials to just come out with a statement accusing Ukraine of terrorism/"political assassination" when they could've just kept it to themselves as they do so much anyway.

So...why? More tension to keep edging everyone into accepting the WWIII scenario that our deep-state national security complex seems to be determined to have one way or another maybe?

You take out people close to Putin. The easiest targets. Fear and paranoia trumps loyalty when your loved ones die.

People start to doubt the leader. And their ability to remain safe associating with him.

They start to talk amongst themselves.

His inner circle weakens.

Et tu, Brutus?

Who is in contact with the West?

One weak link in the chain is all you need.

a reply to: Robbo2006

I agree she was the target in my opinion.

Putin killed his close friend and ally's daughter...just like he sabotaged his own critical, money-making, pipeline.

Why can't everyone see how logical this all really is?

Response to: et al

The articles I read did not mention a specific date. This was new to me. Sorry...not really...

I made no statement regarding who the original target was. I commented only on the result of the attack. I find it hard to believe that anyone would go that far, in Russia, just to get the wrong target. For the purpose of political expedience, either one will suffice. On one hand you have a close friend of Putin. On the other hand an innocent woman, also a close friend of Putin. Neither of them held political office. The end result is the same either way.

A close friend and ally of Putin lost his daughter, who was also a close friend of Putin. I doubt this will go without some form of response. Russia wouldn't declare it an act of terrorism if it didn't mean anything.

The idea that a proxy war is being fought is nothing new by any means. It has been generally accepted as such right from the start. When biden, through the US Consulate in Ukraine, urged Ukraine to shut down the opposition party tv stations this event began. That was Feb of 2021. Ukraine went further and seized the assetts of Viktor Medvedchuk, another close friend and ally of Putin. Within 48 hours Russia started massing troops on the Ukraine border. biden had as much to do with this as anyone. Remember, biden is obama 2.0. And in 2014 it was obama, whose international trifling, initiated the first incursion into Ukraine.

No one issues a letter of intent to fight a proxy war. Requesting such a document is futile and pointless.

So you are absolutely sure it was Ukraine that did it? What if it was Putin attempting to eliminate a general who challenged his rule? Can you rule that out?

No. But it is unlikely for several reasons. One is that this is one of his closest friends and he is unlikely to have gone against him. Also if the idea that Putin was assassinating his own people, especially close friends and allies, became the popular opinion the fallout would be devastating. No way he would willingly participate in something that could bring that about.

At least you got the first part right.
