May I ask if you live in the U.S.? I have the impression that a lot of people there think that other nations revolve around destroying the U.S.
Edit: this is just because someone asked what a hypothetical motive could be
If you see this headline, and story, and immediately think of Putin, that is an unhealthy level of conspiratorial thinking. There is literally no evidence to support this line.
Getting involved at this low level is absurd.
It’s like finding a Turd on you lawn, and claiming it’s part of a Russian Plot.
Seriously though, I've watched way too many movies where there is a staged suicide to not be biased against a story like this.
There is no way we'll ever know what happened unless there is a trial with a lot of non circumstantial evidence presented.
This just a wildly fanciful excuse, it has never happened in American soil.
oh wait, you mean the CIA?
