I wonder what a realistic domestic intelligence response can be to all of this? Counter assassination of known Russian intelligence assets?

There has to be something that be done at least domestically to the rampant assassinations that happen in Western soil by Russian spies. Although I don't think potential Russian turncoat spies will be too cooperative with Western intelligence agencies as of late given how many of their comrades of died as of late. If Russia has broken the rules and started assassinations now, should the West not respond in kind just so Putin knows there are real consequences for this?

Though I guess there are huge problems in that kind of response, especially since there will likely be no US backing under Trump.
