Did they have a sale on tinfoil at Aldi?
You are making so many logical fallacies, I don't know where to begin.
You are starting from a desire to make the perpetrator not:
- A practicing Muslim
- A migrant posing as a refugee
- A migrant posing as a minor
- Motivated by anti-Western or anti-European sentiment
Then you are leaping to conclusions based upon, "if this man isn't a Muslim supremacist terrorist who could he be?".
- Are their Russian intelligence officers all over Germany? Yes.
- Are they trying to reactivate Cold War networks? Yes.
- Does Russia want the EU sanctions lifted? Yes.
- Is Germany key to keeping the sanctions in place? Yes.
But answer these questions:
- Is Germany the only country that matters as far as sanctions go? No.
- Does Russia have support in Germany and other EU members for sanctions relief? Yes.
- Is sanctions relief worth staging an Article V-triggering terrorist attack? No.
- Do Merkel's opponents need help from Putin to oust her? Not really.
- Is German law enforcement stretched by the migrant crisis? Yes.
- Are there much easier ways for Russia to get what it wants? Yes.
