Episode notes
Kirillov Assassination: No Military Gain
- The assassination of General Kirillov offered no military advantage to Ukraine.
- It likely further angered Russia and points to involvement from Ukrainian, British, and potentially US intelligence.
Intelligence Agency Involvement
- The involvement of MI6 in the assassination is highly probable, given their praise of the act.
- The CIA's involvement is less certain, but their close relationship with MI6 raises questions.
Support for Terrorist Groups
- MI6 and CIA almost certainly armed and equipped HTS and Al Jolani in Syria.
- This is despite the US government's $10 million bounty on Jolani's head and HTS's terrorist designation.
