[lbo-talk] Germany lectures Russia on Human Rights

[Chris Doss]

Keeping in mind that these statements are made for
public consumption, the following paragraph kind of
sums up the sillyness of a lot of this:

'The head of Germany's parliamentary human rights
committee, Herta Däubler-Gmelin, said Putin had to
provide answers about the killing in the next two
months or face "the consequences."'

So let me get this straight. Putin (personally, not
the law enforcement agencies) is obligated to provide
answers. This despite the fact that contract murders
are almost never solved. If a contract killer thinks
he/she stands a change of getting caught, he/she will
not take the hit.

I am more and more leaning to think this was a
provocation. If you wanted to politically damage
Putin, this would be a way to do it.
