Delphinho123 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Looks like a mad old thing in Moscow. Some of the videos are disturbing. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Feels like the FSB playbook. Putin famously rumoured to have orchestrated the same sort of attack around his first election. Might also just be very angry people from Dagestan, Inghushetia or Chechnya, who have carried the brunt of this war with their kids coming home in body bags and the government refusing to admit they’re even dead. It isn’t many weeks since the last shoot out in Dagestan between police and ex soldiers. Edited March 22 by magnkarl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Honestly would not be surprised if this was a false flag like those apartment bombings 20 years ago. Blame it on Ukrainians to drum up support for the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a few of those lads that did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame it on Ukrainians to drum up support for the war. Putin is a dictator. He doesn't need to worry about what the average Joe thinks about him or the war. There's no chance this is a false flag operation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Another embarrassment for Putin that a massacre happens in his own backyard. Does he have the resources for another fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of Russia’s help given to Assad in Syria killed a lot of them and went a long way to destroying their caliphate.They have also been attacking Iran recently, a close Russian ally. The same branch of IS bombed St Petersburg a few years ago and Russia said they foiled an attack from them on a Moscow mosque a couple of weeks ago.

If anything was the false flag it was this. IIRC a number of foreign governments issued warnings from their embassies telling their citizens to avoid public places in Russia as an attack from an Islamic terror group was highly likely.That Russia managed to foil this attack within hours always seemed a little convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Russia does have a lot of Islamic republics within it, they’ve been treated awfully since forever. It does seem weird that they could just walk into one or Moscow’s most famous concert halls. If anything, with the Russian groups fighting for Ukraine showing how weak Russias internal defences are, as well as this attack not being stopped, it shows that Vlad has little control internally.

Genie Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I’m shocked that the 4 suspected gunmen have been arrested. Why weren’t they shot or shot themselves? If they are indeed still alive then they are going to wish they were dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I do have doubts they have the 4 gunmen. I would have thought it would be in everyone’s interest for them to be dead but maybe the Russian authorities want to play it a different way.

sidcow Posted March 23 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23 Russia stated they were picking up heading towards Ukraine. Yeah, I believe that. They're obviously going to pin it on Ukraine regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin it on Ukraine all they want, the only people who will believe that narrative are the brain washed idiots who also think the invasion of Ukraine is justified.
