      nah, i don’t think so

      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

        Bingo. Putin is great at playing these games. If he had it planned it would be more graceful.

        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.
