Polish President and Army Chief of Staff dead

[Helen Reyes]

In theory, what would Russia's motive be if they were, again, responsible?

Again, IF it was not an accident, could this be a factor?

"Kaczynski, 60, pursued a strongly pro-U.S. line in foreign relations, in accordance with a cross-party consensus that has grown in Poland since the fall of communism. He was an enthusiastic backer of plans to site a U.S. missile defence facility in the country, the largest of the European Union's new eastern members."

Remember, there are 2 Kaczynskis, the Evil Twins, one of whom was president and the other prime minister at the same time (or something like that). The PM would have policy-making power while the president would be more symbolic in role.

What was it the PM Kaczynski told the homeless guy who ran up to him in public and enthusiastically said how he had voted for his party? "Get lost you old fuck" is a loose translation. So much for the Third Republic's "intellectual elite." Sikorski survived, at least.

They're not related to this guy (I suspect):

As for motives in 3 possibly related Russian/Kyrgyz events, there's one country whose secretary of state is doing a crackerjack job of offending even old allies right now, in the sole interest of sowing malaise and discord worldwide, as far as I can tell. Not that the US could hope to pull off a people-power color revolution in Kyrgyzistan right now, but we might not be dealing with rational actors at this point.
