#4 This is the first time I've ever felt bad for Putin's Rasputin. Somebody is sending a message. But who - and too whom?

#7 Interesting messaging dilemma for the Russians. If they say the Ukrainians did it, they're conceding that the Ukrainians can conduct targeted assassinations in the middle of Moscow. If they say Russian dissidents did it, they conceding that active and effective dissent exists. English-language Tass says nothing about it, so I assume they're still working on the narrative. Maybe she was smoking while the gas cap was open?

#9 Russian or Ukrainian organized crime gets my vote, except it wasn't a small arms attack.

#10 And of course: Name one Russian who we know is responsible for political assassinations. Starts with a "V".

#11 It will be interesting to see how this gross error is reciprocated. That’ll provide insight on which entity selected the target. Not a good time to be on Hunter Bidens security detail - sympathy for the poor guys that drew that assignment under any circumstances
