obvious russian sabotage

View on HN

Actually, the police is looking for known suspect (German) that is believed to be a "climate extremist".

> (German) that is believed to be a "climate extremist"

Gonna be tough to narrow that down

If Russians pay a German to do sabotage, is it Russian sabotage, German sabotage, or both?

It seems you know more than the police does. I suggest you provide your highly valuable information to the investigators.

I did! They said thank you but they already were aware.

A useful idiot, what they call them in Russia. Obviusly, not implying any links to this terrorsist attack.

Trying to get more AfD votes? Because most Germans are fed up with this bullshit.

This is a guy who tried to get a wire across high voltage lines with a self-made rocket to short the wires. Obviously Russia again is too incompetent to achieve such a simple goal.

An increasing pattern is Russia paying local thugs / simpletons small money to do this kind of stuff. Not necessarily introducing themselves as Russians. There’s well documented cases in the UK and Poland.

In this case it looks like money wouldn’t even be necessary, egging on would perhaps be sufficient.

If Russia financed a German who's fed up with his government, is it Russian sabotage?

Seems there's plenty of those around, on the left and on the right.. (there was a left-anarchist sabotage of power distribution in Berlin in winter)

Yes it is.

>there was a left-anarchist sabotage of power distribution in Berlin in winter

Anyone go to jail for that one?

Standard practice to recruit and sponsor dissidents to destabilise targets from within and it's still foreign interference
