Now I wouldn’t call myself a student of European terrorism per-se, but haven’t virtually all of the countries listed had some form of domestic terror groups in the post WW2 era? Why am I not to believe this is domestic?
You can't self-fund more than very small terror groups. "Domestic" groups aren't. Note how all the Marxist groups withered away after the fall of the Soviet Union.
I mean, Italy had a big problem with this... in the 1980s. Occam's razor indicates that this is probably just Russia, and not some geriatric extremists abruptly coming out of retirement.
Disrupting arms shipments is a realistic motive. You didn't really state one, just implied the person you're responsing to is a propagandist. I'd be interested to hear your reasoning, but respectfully, in the meantime I am glad that the HN crowd tends to downvote low effort comments. My own stupid comment in this thread being one example. We both felt our reasoning was self-evident but that's not enough on this topic.

Edit: I guess all the downvotes are from totally "domestic" groups and not Russian bots, right? Get fucked Ruskies.
