Doctor suspects that Vlad Vexler has been poisoned by the Kremlin

[Basman]

Vlad Vexler is one of my favorite philosophers on YT. His understanding of Russian politics and the Russian worldview is illuminating and one of the best resources on Russian politics on the internet. It doesn't paint a pretty picture, as you can imagine.

Context: he is chronically ill with ME but this situation has been more serious than normal.

If it actually is the Russian government responsible They will probably use a poison that’s undetectable by standard toxicology reports. Unless they specifically want to make a statement and insight fear

Highly doubt Kremlin would care about some obscure YTuber when they got much bigger fish to fry.

You would think, but they can be quite petty like this. They have targeted journalists before. I’m not saying it’s certain or anything. But it’s entirely believable.

Huge part of Kremlin's opposition hangs around in YT.

Could be an upsell tactic.

Russians have killed plenty of people before with the same tactics, nothing new here. Surprised anyone is even doubting things like this anymore.

Just a Tuesday for the Kremlin.

It's not that they can't or wouldn't. It's that Vlad is too insignificant for them to take that risk.

Remember, there's diplomatic risk with such actions. Is it really worth the risk?
