      Entirely up to you, I suppose. We’re all just scrambling for explanations to make it make sense, but I expect if this is BS we’ll at least see a story exposing it as BS.

      Fair enough to wait for a better source, but I’m seeing this in other places too, citing “UK intelligence sources”.

      But, and this is confirmation bias speaking, this was exactly my guess when I first heard he’d turned around: “guess some family member that he cares about didn’t make themselves quite scarce enough and Putins guys have them.”
