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?

The “domestic terrorist” groups immediately proclaim they did the act for propaganda purpose while an adversary like Russia prefer to do it quietly.

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.

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

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.
