Kremlin's Hitmen on US Soil? The Rules Have Changed!
A recent US Department of Justice announcement of unsealed indictments against alleged Russian intelligence operatives has shattered the long-held belief that American soil was a safe haven for Russian dissidents. The indictments reveal a plot to assassinate a prominent Russian dissident in Washington D.C., marking a significant departure from an unwritten Cold War-era 'gentleman's agreement' against such actions. Experts and dissidents now warn that nowhere is safe, while US authorities are using public attribution as a new counterintelligence strategy.
