Police questioned four suspects. One admitted that they were hired by a Russian and that they received instructions via a mobile phone application from ...
This can kill; I know someone who died of carbon monoxide poisoning due to a clogged exhaust. It ventilates away if the vehicle is in motion but they were idling.
Wtf. They managed to mispell Annalena Baerbock four different ways, and they also mangled Kaja Kallas and Roderich Kiesewetter. They had no issue spelling Bundestag or Bundeswehr however. Do they hate all these people or did the writer lose a bet of some sort?
That's actually quite good promotion for me: If russia goes to this lenghts to depress support for the greens, they are doing something right. If Putin doesn't want them to be in power, I very well would like to have them there
Of course, but that's because you know it was the russians. The average voter might think the Greens and/or their voters are dumb/assholes, that "Russia did it" is just an excuse, and therefore shouldn't vote them
The damaged vehicles often had stickers with the image of the Greens' candidate for chancellor, as well as the slogan "Be greener!". That's why investigators initially assumed that climate activists or Greens supporters were behind the foam attacks.
I don't get why they would assume the attackers were Greens supporters when it was cars with stickers supporting the Greens that were being damaged?

It's translated as be greener which can be seen as an endorsement but the way it's written in the original german is rather accusatory. The stickers are also ugly and have a smug image of the green candidate.

You are assuming that Fascists are thinking. Their Alternative Media will do anything to frame the greens as bad.
As I said once already: You dont save a rotten plant by watering it. The same way you don't save a fascist with facts and Logic. They only listen to guillotines, fire throwers and a machine gun beside a wall.
