russians were warned about possible terrorist incidents some two weeks ago, but dismissed it entirely. on public side you could see us embassy warning saying to avoid concerts and other crowded places. on tuesday putin straight up said that these warning are western lies and attempt at intimidation. it would make every bit of sense if this isis cell also heard of this warning and just waited for another concert
if it was a false flag, they’ll have more coherent pre-cooked narrative ready
Ze flag, she is false.
Who would benefit from a false flag operation in Russia? They’re already at war with Ukraine.
Russia would. They’re claiming it’s Ukrainian driven, giving them an excuse to intensify their attack.
25 years ago Putin bombed apartment buildings in Chechnya to give cover for the following actions.
Wasn’t in Chechnya but Buynaksk (in Dagestan), Moscow, and Volgodonsk (in Rostov oblast)
But Isis claimed responsibility, is russia still saying that it was Ukraine?
Yes they are saying that, but Russia uses the propaganda technique ‘firehose of falsehoods’

right, but back then appearing stronk and going to war were popular moves, not how it would work now. also elections already happened
unless you mean this false flag as a pretext for withdrawing from ukraine and going all in in afghanistan (again)
They’re using it as an excuse to amp up action in Ukraine, it’s going to be retaliation for the attacks on the gas infrastructure.
they could use, you know, attacks against refineries as pretext
nah, i don’t think so

Important detail: they weren’t just warned by the Americans, but by multiple countries.
Coherent pre-cooked narrative? You must be talking about some different Russia.
Bingo. Putin is great at playing these games. If he had it planned it would be more graceful.
This time it was just out of left field. Sometimes weird shit happens.
