It's both boldness and incompetence - and both are specific to GRU, which is a military service driven by "achieve objective at any cost" principle. Their operations are sloppy because they are sloppy, and are allowed to be sloppy because Kremlin is ready to take much larger reputational risks than any other Western country. At the same time Western public is kind of ready to accept completely different standards from Russia because it's "wild" 🤷

Guardian talking about... Bayes theorem 🤦‍♂️

Clear message in Czech newspapers today - "Russian terror", "who were the Russian killer agents" etc. The GRU sabotage was to prevent delivery of some weapons Ukraine purchased in Czechia - and it kind of worked, that batch was blown up. Was it worth it? Rosatom is now being kicked out from the Dukovany nuclear power plant tender and Kremlin seems to have very seriously antagonized yet another country in EU.

That would also require liberalisation of GMO regulations as most of high-THC strains were created with mutation breeding and similar techniques 😁

Wow - Mishkin and Chepiga, the two GRU officers of Salisbury fame, are now linked to 2014 ammunition depot explosion that in Czechia that killed two people

Of course, the first thing I did was to send this photo to my friends & relatives in Poland as they are experiencing the last days of snow, thaw and cold 😂

There's plenty of Russians, Belarussians and Ukrainians in EU, including Poland, so it can't be that bad. Much less I meet in the UK, so it seems the rules are actually stricter and process - more expensive.

@dump_stack Yes, some kind of it, certainly. Russian sociologist Peter Turchin discusses the role of altruism in early and advanced civilisations in great detail, looking at it from the point of view of game theory. Very interesting analysis, but at the same time very clear and consistent.

EU had a clear immigration system for years, the question is why UK didn't implement it before
