British media gloating betrays masterminds behind Kirillovs killing by Finian Cunningham!

The reveling by the British news media over the assassination of a top Russian general in Moscow is revealing in several ways.

First of all, it is a sickening display of wretched so-called journalism. The celebratory tone in British media outlets at the sight of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillovs bloodied corpse lying in the snow speaks volumes of a despicable lack of respect. It says something about the depraved depth of British culture.

By comparison, the reporting of the assassination by American media outlets was relatively mundane and matter-of-fact.

Not so in Britain. The British media were almost euphoric in their reaction.

The Pentagons response was significant. Spokesman Patrick Ryder denied any United States involvement in the killing. He said the Americans were not forewarned about the assassination and he added that the United States did not support such action.

Of course, such denials should always be treated with skepticism.

However, while the United States of Americans had the decency to remain reserved, the British were giddy in their ghoulishness.

The London Times editorial board declared that Lt Gen. Kirillov was a "legitimate target" for assassination.

The Daily Telegraph ran an oped piece by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon with the headline: "Putins chemical weapons henchman Kirillov was a truly evil man. He deserved to die."

Meanwhile, the BBC blithely used the Foreign Offices description of Kirillov as a "notorious mouthpiece for Kremlin disinformation" to convey an implicit justification for murder.

Over at the Guardian, their Russophobic reporter, Luke Harding, abandoned all pretense of journalistic standards by glorifying Ukraines military intelligence service (SBU) for its "success," adding: "The agency has cemented its reputation as an outfit that administers its own form of brutal extrajudicial justice. It is an abrupt and swift form of vengeance, delivered as if from the heavens."

The Ukrainian secret services were no doubt involved. The SBU is claiming responsibility and distributing a video to Western outlets of the bombing outside the Moscow apartment block, which killed Kirillov and his assistant as they walked out of the building on Tuesday morning.

Russian security services (FSB) have reportedly arrested a 29-year-old Uzbek national who says Ukrainian agents recruited him to plant the explosive-laden scooter at the street-side doorway of Kirillovs apartment block. The suspect says he was promised payment of $100,000 and a European passport.

That all points to the higher involvement of NATO military intelligence services in the assassination. The American Central Intelligence Agency and Britains MI6 are the two principal players behind Ukraines military intelligence.

But the circumstances indicate that the British are the primary culprits.

In October, Britain put sanctions on Kirillov after London accused him of overseeing the use of chemical weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine, a charge that Moscow vehemently denied. The British provided no credible evidence - only hackneyed claims - and, besides, the allegation does not make sense, given that Russia is decisively winning the conflict. Why would it need to resort to using chemical weapons?

Lt Gen. Kirillov was chief of the Russian armys Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces. His investigators had uncovered what they claimed to be a secret and illegal network of Pentagon-run biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. The investigations provided substantive evidence that the bioweapons labs were authorized at United States presidential level and involved major American pharmaceutical companies. Typically, the West rubbished the claims as "Kremlin disinformation" without considering the information.

In other words, Kirillovs work was mainly focused on interdicting NATO-run weapons of mass destruction, not on overseeing their use, as the British claimed.

Kirillov was the most senior Russian military commander to have been killed since the conflict in Ukraine erupted three years ago.

The British objective was to demonize Kirillov as a "chemical weapons henchman" and "an evil man." That move was then followed by the Ukrainian secret services accusing the Russian general of being a "war criminal". This week, on the day before his assassination, the Ukrainian published a death notice.

One could argue that the Americans had more motive to eliminate Kirillov than the British, given his potentially incriminating investigations into the bioweapons and the way it implicated President Biden.

But, arguably, that was not the motive behind his assassination. He was merely a high-profile target for a psychological operation.

Ukrainian opposition political figure Viktor Medvedchuk makes the important observation that Britain has taken over from the United States as the main intelligence player behind the Kiev regime. He says that the British are using the Ukrainian puppet president Vladimir Zelensky and his cronies to launder much of the United States and European money sent to Ukraine to end up in Londons banks.

With the incoming United States President Donald Trump expressing concern about winding down the Ukraine conflict and cutting off the financing of the Kiev junta, Britain wants to sabotage any such initiative. It wants to prolong the conflict and the money racket.

Assassinating a senior Russian commander in Moscow is aimed at humiliating the Kremlin and provoking an escalation of the conflict in a way that scuppers any possible peace negotiations with Donald Trump, who takes up office in four weeks.

The British medias gloating about the murder of Igor Kirillov and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov reveals Britains nefarious hand.

Not only was the victim vilified and condemned, the killing was glorified. The BBC, in particular, showed a keen interest in reporting on the "deep shock" felt by Muscovites in the immediate aftermath of the deadly explosion.

The state-owned outlet opined: "People living in the area told the BBC of their deep sense of shock. Even after nearly three years since Russias full-scale invasion of Ukraine, for many Muscovites, the war is something that is happening a long way away - something they only see on TV or on their phones. The killing of a Russian general in Moscow is a sign that this war is very real and very close to home."

Russia has vowed to retaliate for the murder of Igor Kirillov. Zelensky and his cronies in Kiev are no doubt bracing themselves. The British werewolves of London might want to re-check their security arrangements, too.

Questions have to be asked about how Russian security services. How could they be so easily penetrated only a few kilometers from the Kremlin - and not for the first time? Only last week, a senior missile scientist, Mikhail Shatsky, was shot dead in Moscow in an attack ascribed to Ukrainian secret services.

But also it should be questioned if Russia is being too soft in exacting revenge. Should the masterminds of terrorist operations beyond the puppets in Kiev not also be "legitimate targets," as the British are so fond of saying?
