Was MI6 Involved in Darya Dugina’s Murder?

Aug. 26 (EIRNS)—The following exchange with former IAEA weapons inspector in Iraq and whistleblower Scott Ritter occurred on Judge Andrew Napolitano’s interview program, “Judging Freedom” on Aug. 24:
Judge Napolitano: Well, why would the Ukrainians ratchet up the war by killing somebody whose father was in Putin’s Circle? What do the Ukrainians gain by this?

Scott Ritter: Well, I believe that the target was Alexander Dugin, that the daughter was a tragic accident. The car that was targeted, he was supposed to drive. And, at the last second, he opted to drive another car, so his daughter went behind this wheel. He was driving right behind her when the explosion took place. He saw his daughter die! And, why hit Dugin? Look...
Napolitano: He’s a philosopher. He’s not a military guy.

Ritter: Right: well, I’m an American historian. And I’m on the same blacklist—now, death list—that he is. I mean, we need to understand that. The blacklist that we’ve been mocking, and I’ve belittled it a little bit, it’s a death list. And I warned people about this.
It takes the Ukrainians just one second to shift over to kill people. When they call you an “information terrorist,” when they say that because you speak your mind, you deserve to be arrested, prosecuted as a war criminal, it’s a death sentence.
Napolitano: But Ukraine is in a war it is destined to lose, it is losing. Why would it animate Putin to do the same, killing civilians in Ukraine?
Ritter: Well, I mean, here’s the thing. The reason that I think MI6 was involved, is because MI6, British Secret Intelligence Service, does do this kind of black information operation.

I think there’s universal recognition that Ukraine right now, if something doesn’t change, Ukraine is going to lose this war, and lose it badly. What they need to do, is change the algorithm.
Get the Russians to do something they otherwise wouldn’t do. And you do that by provoking Russia. You do that, for instance, by attacking Crimean airbases. You do that by attacking Russian cities. You do that by assassinating ‘Putin’s brain.’ Because the goal is to get the Russians to deviate from the plan of action that they currently are implementing, and do something that changes the dynamic. And you’re hoping that that dynamic is changed in a way that is detrimental to Russia, and efficient.

It is my opinion that the UK propaganda machine has always assumed that Dugin has influence with Putin, but there is no evidence to suggest that this is true. They have never met in public, there are no photos of them together and Putin is not the only person making decisions and strategies about Russian politics.

Thank you Frances. Just found this and one other article (from you) in my span folder. Is that anything like knowing you're over the target when you're getting flak?
