Do you expect me to believe fake news that comes from Moscow Times, a publication that is officially known to be a 'foreign agent'?

 

Everone in Kremlin knows it must have been the CIA and Ukraine.

My guess is that it probably is ISIS-K, the group that has claimed it. The US and UK intelligence has been warning of it for a couple of weeks but putin has been publicly rejecting and mocking the warnings as 'Western blackmail'.

 

There would be no shortage of home grown ISIS cells in Russia. Unconfirmed reports mentioned the terrorists speaking Russian. They have plenty of scope for it with about 15% of Russians being Muslim. Moscow has the largest Muslim population of any city in Europe. The US intelligence warnings to the Kremlin even specified concert venues. The trick for putler now is to spin it so he doesn't appear to have egg on his face. That shouldn't be too hard as he's a cult just like Trump in the US. All he has to do is point the finger at Ukraine or the US or both and the sheep will believe him.

The Russian national guard special forces arrived at the scene an hour after the shooting started. One thing noticeable about the phone camera footage of the shooters is that they didn't look Middle Eastern or like Afghans or other people from those border countries. They looked like Russians and carried themselves like ex (or current) military. No suicide vests or desire to die fighting apparent. It looked very professional like they wanted to get in, do the job and get out cleanly. It leaves open the possibility of an inside job or false flag despite ISIS claiming the attack. It looked like a cool headed commando operation rather than the usual Islamist style of attack.

But isn't that what you would expect from Russian national guard special forces?

Like the "Promised" 3 days of throwing roses to welcome you that becomes a nuclear war threat to blow UK off the face of the Planet rather than lose face years later. . Don't EVER refer to it as a WAR, though.   Nev

But I am surprised he didn't blame Ukraine.

That job's assigned to Medvedev. They just give him a microphone and another vodka bottle and let him loose on the media. He fulfills the vital role of saying the things putler would like to say publicly. If any shite hits the fan over Medvedev's crazy rants, putin can distance himself from it.

Another two Russian refineries have been hit by drones. This time in the Samara region, so a quite a way east.

Will our US (less) friends be upset about the senseless spilling of black gold (Texas tea)?

How effective is Poo tins Intelligence? The USA warned him of an impending action. His credibility ZERO.  Nev

Credibility is zero to the outside world.  Unfortunately he controls the narrative within Russia.  Didn't take long for him to start blaming Ukraine for this attack (we all expected it) - so watch him now, he'll just ramp it up as more of a reason to keep making war with Ukraine.  

With all dissenting voices silenced the Russian people are only hearing his spin.

Anyone volunteering to change places with  him if it's ALL going so well??    Nev

Anyone who wants to change places with him falls out of a window.

So ... Putin's forces rounded up some anti-Russian protesters, a few petty crims, and nailed them all as the full complement of the terror attack group! - all within about 24 hrs from the attack!! What a brilliant and capable mob!!  Let's see - they'll all be charged and found guilty within another 24 hrs (with hundreds of valuable witnesses providing all the necessary evidence), and they'll all be in a Siberian Gulag within another 24 hrs!! What great place to get problems solved!! No wonder Donald said Putin was a "very clever man!!"

I should have gone to Specsavers. Those skinny little Tajiks they rounded up don't look anything like the shooters in the concert hall.

Some news has surfaced that the Ukrainians destroyed the large landing ships Yamal and Azov last night in Crimea, using Storm Shadow missiles. If confirmed, that would make four out of the six Black Sea Fleet landing ships gone. They also blew up the FSB building in Sevastopol with a triple tap missile strike.
