You can use that against the offending regime, but you cant off a head of state for that. Not the way the game is played."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Weve pretty much spent our rule changing capital on preemptive strikes against WMD and the untouchability of supporters of terrorism. With at best mixed success. We aint in position to establish that "killing an exiled dissident is a Casus Belli" or something like that. Not now, anyway.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

Who said casus belli? I'm suggesting if this continues we ought to consider some retaliation in the same vein.Comment

er, killing American dissidents living in Moscow? That presents other problems, Id say.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

Assasinating a head of state would be pretty damned close to an act of war. Not equivalent to knocking off a dissident.
The logical response is funding dissidents, knocking off FSB agents, stirring up stuff in places where Russia is trying to extend its influence, etc. Routine cold war stuff. And if we get solid confirmation on the Litvinenko killing you might see that.
Dont get this confused with, say, the Haririr killing. Haririe was Lebanese, NOT Syrian, and his killing was a much bigger deal than if the Syrians had just knocked off an exiled Syrian in Beirut. In fact there probably arent any exiled Syrians in Beirut, for just that reason."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

That's what I was talking about. Notice I mentioned the head of the FSB. Actually knocking off Putin is for later

Terrrorists are handled differently. If the Russkies want to kill leaders of the Chechen "resistance" in exile, thats not the same thing as the shootings we are talking about."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

even knocking off the head of the FSB would be going pretty far. For what theyve done so far.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
