When assassinations are done using methods which only a state could implement (i.e. polonium-210; VX ), the states behind them really are showing they’re behind them, right?…‘cos why then would one use these methods. There’s no ‘plausible deniability’. It scares the hell out of their dissidents. It’s a message.
Or spies have become really tacky and stupid. Where’s the pride in one’s work gone, eh? sigh
