Medvedev, Dugin, Malofeev, and Hinkle are all using the assassination of Charlie Kirk as a means to rile up animosity toward Ukraine and endear Russia to the American right wing, with some even going so far as to suggest Ukraine may have organized the hit -- a flagrantly ridiculous assertion given the sky high risk to reward ratio. This is a huge red flag. Kirk was historically critical of Zelenskyy and government spending on the Ukrainian war yet he was recently outspoken about the subway murder of Ukrainian national Iryna Zarutska. Kirk was likewise historically critical of anti-Zionism and pro-white advocacy, but had recently come around to entertaining the former and outright endorsing the latter. The murder of Iryna Zarutska has made a lot of people reevaluate their apathy toward Putin's ongoing white genocide in Ukraine. Given enough time, that may have ended up being the case for Charlie as well. As a moderate conservative, he was always a couple years behind the Overton window, but he had a tendency to eventually catch up with it. Given Charlie's outsized influence on right-wing discourse, it would have been a huge liability for Russia if this had ended up being the case. It may have also threatened the artificially crafted, superficial "pro-Ukraine" position that Democrats pretend to hold for the sake of political opportunism. As of now, Ztards are oscillating back and forth between blaming Ukraine and Israel, but the most likely scenario is that the assassin was a deranged troon who hated Charlie for his rejection of gay race communism. This may have been motive enough for him on its own, but it should give us pause that the Russian government and its paid shills are aggressively attempting to insert themselves into our national dialogue. If Ukraine was going to do something like this, it would have made more sense to do it when Kirk was actively criticizing Zelenskyy than to do it when he started speaking out against the murder of Ukrainian nationals. If Israel was going to do something like this for the handful of comments Charlie made about Israel and secular Jews, it would have made sense to do it more discreetly rather than risk public discovery that would compromise their standing with the West. Israel may have also had difficulty finding a tranny to act on their behalf given that the entirety of the left has taken a pro-Palestine posture. We currently don't know anything about the shooter other than that his spare cartridges were engraved with messages inspired by Antifa/troon ideology, but the last mass shooter who fit this profile ended up being a troon who: - Had profiles on Skibidi Farms and VK loaded with Rusich and 09A iconography - Had an FSB patch on his gear - Wrote a diary in faux Cryllic script Given that the FBI is currently working with foreign intelligence services to identify Kirk's assassin, we probably shouldn't rule out the possibility that he was groomed to do this by elements of the Russian intelligence apparatus -- especially given the swift opportunistic agitprop / hybrid warfare tactics being deployed by Russian government officials, oligarchs, and paid influencers.
