After the Nazi SS murdered the leadership of the Brown Shirts over 150 SS men were assassinated in the next 12 months. Heinrich had to flee Berlin back to Munich as the Gestapo were hunting him. But the Nazi Regime held together against the Allies. So even if this is internal rivalry, so what?

Hard to be other than happy at this news.

That would be too easy!

Must not have been near a window….

You have got to applaud the bravery of the SBU

Is this Ukraine’s response to the IRBM strike on Dnipro?

militaryanalyst.bsky.social•108 days ago

The day before he’d been declared a war criminal by the Ukrainian courts, just in time!

Justice is occasionally very prompt and particularly direct.

When this kind of event occurs, I like to see if I can identify the actual location on Google Maps using names on buildings or references to locations in newscasts. In this case, I found it impossible to locate the supposed apartment block, beyond an apparently unrelated road closure. Strange...

There was a longer shot on a video I saw earlier, came in from the end of the street some distance back, as if off a roundabout and park

vectorcontrol.bsky.social•108 days ago

I saw that. Looks like a downtown view. There's a giant M on the building in the foreground. Yet the street on which the bomb exploded looks residential. And Ryazanskiy Prospekt is a highway before it nears the Moscow ring road (of which there are THREE!) and changes its name.

I am reminded of an incident when I graduated from high school. One of the students in the graduating class was playing Russian Roulette and killed himself. The accounts in the three Philadelphia newspapers of the time were highly inconsistent about the details. Makes one wonder how accurate this is

militaryanalyst.bsky.social•108 days ago

Some of the reporting suggests he was leaving an office.
Either way he’s very dead. Never a bad thing.

and chemical weapons forces. Amongst his portfolio the strategic targeting of Ukrainian infrastructure.

Ukrainians did this, good for them!

Putin will be furious. He had an 11th floor hotel window lined up for Kirilliov and will have to claim back the deposit on his AmEx

If this is an unnamed country, apparently they have some insiders.

broadcastersgear.bsky.social•108 days ago

Outsiders don't understand there are still probably millions of Ukrainians living and working in Russia!

🥱

It might be boring to you but it matters to many of us.

noriks.bsky.social•108 days ago

The yawn was meant to express the uncaring boredom of the death of this miserable man- not the announcement
Sorry if it wasn’t a clear enough gesture
It’s significant that the bastard is gone!

militaryanalyst.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes to that!

noriks.bsky.social•108 days ago

👍
I like your posts. Been going over them
Very informative-thanks!

Given the front line troops are now seen using scooters, and being killed on them, the method is poetic
