There's lots of people working for NATO and federal agencies in Europe that have been assassinated by the luckystrike branch of the FSB. The name comes from the Telegram account with underscores in between, and they're essentially recruiting kids or former inmates for GTA style missions.
Starts with simple stuff like package rerouting, then goes on to gathering intel about places, people, putting in USB flash drives to their laptops, theft, death threats, arsony, and actual murder. Each step of the way the kids get deeper into trouble because they have to prove that they have done it for the payout, making photos of themselves... which gives the other end increasingly more doxxing material on them.
It's a real problem, and they use the luckystrike branch also to go after witnesses in big lawsuit cases, which then fall off due to all witnesses accidentally dying under seemingly random causes.
- Loquebantur 1mo agoWhat gets overlooked here is the US IC itself being a probable cause: the habit of "housecleaning" by killing individuals suspected to be possible (even only prospective) leaks of information is very real. The recent cluster of weird deaths and disappearances of scientists linked to secret military research has a similar pattern to it: a statistically highly unlikely density of "suicides, accidents & mishaps".
- XorNot 1mo agoYou have absolutely no information on whether this is probable or likely, and the recent news on scientists was a conspiracy theory powered as usual by a cherry picking facts and exaggerating biographies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_...

- quickthrowman 1mo ago> The recent cluster of weird deaths and disappearances of scientists linked to secret military research has a similar pattern to it The pattern being that the deaths and disappearances among people with top secret clearances is lower than the national average would suggest. > According to science writer Mick West, more than 700,000 people work in top-secret-cleared positions in the U.S. aerospace and nuclear sectors. When viewed against existing mortality rates and causes, this would suggest around 250 persons in the industry would normally succumb to homicides and suicides over the time-period during which the 10 or 11 alleged "missing scientists" had died or disappeared, with thousands more dying of natural causes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_scientists_conspiracy_...
- neuroticnews25 1mo agoJust think how many ordinary people they have to randomly kill to keep it that way.
- wbl 1mo agoThe US doesn't even kill foreign leaders. Our intelligence service doesn't have the skills or appetite, let alone citizens. The resulting scandal would make the Church commission look like nothing, not to mention the impact on recruitment.
- pvaldes 1mo ago> The US doesn't even kill foreign leaders. Our intelligence service doesn't have the skills or appetite Did Pinochet knew that? Some people really have the memory of a goldfish. Between 1982 and 2019, US has been involved in 350 coup attempts, of which 150 were successful. Some foreign leaders where killed by US proxies later. And the cherry on top is the "petrol company" (of course, linked with Trump) that started to accumulate people and logistics to operate without license in Greenland, just yesterday. Attempting the "Little Green Men take Crimea" trick twice. And this is how NATO is backstabbed and killed, in the most 'Game of Thrones' style possible. Putin has educated Trump really well. US does not seem to understand still how in danger is their former hegemonic position by the acts of this government. And those acts look more and more deliberated (even carefully designed) to hit USA in every possible vital organ.

- a2800276 1mo agoYes, they only kill random fishermen in the Caribbean, foreign leaders get kidnapped and tried in kangaroo courts. Except Iranian leaders, those do get killed. But that's just the last 6 months.
- strictnein 1mo ago> "is very real" Except it's not.
- polotics 1mo agocan you prove it? and if you can, you being still alive kinda contradicts...

Do you have any references about it?

- golem14 1mo agoThis is essentially one article about criminals recruiting young people. Is Russia FSB (or even Russia)even mentioned? I also believe the premise is true (why would it not, it's the logical thing for every nation state to do), but your research could be a bit deeper.

That's a better source I found, does not call the phenomenon lucky strike though
- cookiengineer 1mo ago> This is essentially one article about criminals recruiting young people. Is Russia FSB (or even Russia) even mentioned? Generally if an article is about FSB, it implies Russia. Otherwise, you would have to admit that Russia is a failed state if the FSB acts without Putin's knowledge or control. For example, google the luckystrike account with underscores ("l_u_c_k_y_s_t_r_i_k_e"). Example results: - https://news.sky.com/story/british-citizens-are-volunteering-to-commit-crimes-for-russian-state-for-money-and-glamour-says-counter-terror-chief-13456527 https://news.sky.com/story/british-citizens-are-volunteering... - https://unn.ua/en/news/czech-police-detained-a-teenager-for-planning-an-attack-on-lgbt-pride-he-was-radicalized-on-telegram https://unn.ua/en/news/czech-police-detained-a-teenager-for-... - https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/feb/28/russia-linked-telegram-channels-offering-to-pay-for-attacks-on-mosques https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/feb/28/russia-linked-t... ^ News outlets confirmed by MI5 statements about the luckystrike account, its FSB ties, its activities, and recruitement of teenagers for terrorism. The luckystrike account literally owns Telegram channels like "Anti-NATO/Anti-USA/Anti-Nazi" and others: - https[:]//tgstat[.]com/channel/@anti_nato_anti_usa/stat - Description of this channel is "This channel was created to fight with USA and NATO on the territory of Ukraine and Europe. We call on all residents of Europe to fight by any means." - https[:]//en[.]tgramsearch[.]com/join/4307894160 - Description of this Guerilla themed channel is "Central Guerilla Movement organise fight against Nazi, NATO and USA. We call on all residents of Ukraine and Europe to fight against USA and NATO by any means. Send us your photo, video of your actions or get a guerrilla task: @L_u_c_k_y_S_t_r_i_k_e" ... and there's a bunch of other channels in those results, with a similar theme, and similar promises.

- iso1631 1mo agoNeither Norway nor the UK are in the EU. And Russia is constantly attacking europe (EU and non-EU), in addition to its invasion of a European country. Of the three adversaries you mention, and the additional one being the US technocratic administration, China is the least threatening to Europe.
- fryanyway_swe 1mo agoOkay, Europe is under attack by Iran. And Russia. China has sinister intentions. AND actively helps Russia. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/russia-approved-secret-china-military-training-top-level-sources-say-2026-07-01/ https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/russia-ap... I understand that you are a commie, but do not apologize for China.
- impossiblefork 1mo agoI have heard of zero murders of NATO and EU agency people, and I think you're quite wrong. There are of course people like this, recruited on the internet in the many criminal networks that exist, but I don't think they've had any notable successes.

- mannanj 1mo agoThe open AI engineer who was ready to testify in a copyright case against them, also died in weird circumstances. His mom is out on an anti-Altman campaign. Man this stuff sucks to be so out in the public and out of darkness. I mean we knew these things were happening but they’ve accelerated so much now and what are we going to do about it?
