NATO: There was officially a Russian plot to kill European weapons chief

In case you wanna know whom they were trying to kill; it was Armin Papperger, the head of German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall.
- Weirdly enough Im kinda alright with weapon merchants or anyone similar involved in profiteering from war taking a personal toll in it themselves.
  Didnt Ukraine assasinate some russian missile specialist a while back with the west applauding it after finding out? Dont play games you dont want to have a part in seems highly fitting here. There are plenty of other ways to make a decent living.
  
  Idk if you're just trolling, but I'm a prototype engineer and I can't, and would refuse if asked, to work on a weapons system. It's even extremely difficult to decide to accept a defensive only tech, unless it's apparent it could never be used for offensive purposes(I'd build a technological marvel of a wall, but nothing that moves), and that frankly hurts financially, Dar's money in dem dar weapons manufacturing... But I will not have MY technology used to kill innocents.
  
  I think it’s sick that people downvote this in the name of civility. I understand people not wanting to make a super solid link between wealthy magic bean salesmen and societal issues and seeing it as a slippery slope, but the weapons industry? Fucking come on.
  If you profit from the most literal form of human suffering, you are a statistical outlier even among outliers. I can’t think of many less ethical things to enrich yourself from than making the world a deadlier place.

TBH I kind of wish they uncovered the crime in progress than the plot, an excuse to bring NATO in and end the brutal Russian oligarchy would be a boon to this world.
- I am not so excited for the nukes.
  My house is inside the blast radius of a hydrogen bomb dropped on the middle of the nearest city. So if that happens, I’ll just turn to dust and that would be nice.
  Unfortunately my job is far enough away that I would get to be one of the people whose eyes boil and skin turns black before they die from the burns.
  Can we schedule WW3 for when I’m at home. Would rather just be vaporized.
  
  They Sabre Rattled yesterday and they will Sabre Rattle tomorrow, but we cannot just start giving land and human sacrifices to thugs or the thugs will become our kings.

Europe needs to start fighting Russians.
- We are literally in the perfect scenario, where we don't even need to fight the Russians, as long as we WOULD GET OUR ASSES UP AND PROPERLY ARM UKRAINE!!!!
  this is so beyond me There are literally people in Ukraine that WANT to go to the trenches, and all we would need to do is give them superior firepower...

Weird Commentsection here. Lots of removed Comments, many banned accounts and accounts only a few hours old.
- Mentions of NATO and Russia draw out the bots and shills. And I'm sure some are even tankies in earnest.
- Those accounts are all one person, their original account was called Antiyanks. Not sure if it's mental illness or an obsession (or both), but they keep making accounts over and over and over, all of which get banned quickly because they're hostile to everyone. I could never imagine spending literal months of my time making hundreds of accounts just to yell at people, yet this guy does exactly that.
  
  Oh, that guy.

going after billionaires and weapons chiefs... the west will never sing that!
- Won't someone think of the merchants of death!?!

From the linked article:
there had been no concrete attempt to murder Papperger but rather a "plot."
Meh. Every country draws up plans like these all the time. It's not really news unless they move to act on it.
- Typical exaggeration by the media then.
  The US too drafted a plan to invade the Netherlands "just in case" the International Court decided that the US should follow international law.
  I'm guessing a slow news day at Politico
  
  You mean, another day in Europe when we are both continuously threatened by our so-called ally and sabotaged by Russian/Chinese plots . Sure/s.
  
  Comparing strategic war plans to state sponsored assainations of private citizens..
  Gold medal in mental gymnastics
  
  The US too drafted a plan to invade the Netherlands
  No. The US, at one point, stated that it would use any and all means necessary to prevent ICC prosecution of US servicemembers.
