They did try to make a bee-line to Ukraine right after the attack.

So you posted nothing?

About time the Muscovites got a taste of their own medicine.

“Ukrainian involvement in Russia concert massacre?”

Such as ? The Ukes would benefit nothing.

Due to the corrupt press we will never really know what happened. We’ll hear all kinds of stories but never have real confidence in what is true and what is propaganda.

Why? What would Ukraine stand to gain from that attack?

If it was something they intended to pull off in secret and blame someone else (like ISIS-K), what’s the benefit to them? It doesn’t affect Russia’s war effort against them, and only solidifies Russian support behind Putin.

And if it’s something they were to do openly or take credit for, the above applies, plus it provides justification for Russia to take harsher measures and /or be more reluctant to a negotiated end to hostilities.

Ukraine having a hand in this simply makes no sense to Ukraine itself. It’s all downside and no benefit. And carrying out such a thing without clear attribution simply allows Russia to control the narrative, which is still detrimental to Ukraine.

I rather suspect it really was ISIS-K, and Russia is spinning it to find an angle that applies to the current conflict. Russia (and previously the Soviet Union) have always been masters of realpolitik.

(Necessary FR discalimer- I say all the above as someone who despises both the Russian and Ukrainian governments as corrupt and not representative of their peoples. Not a fanboy of either Zelesnkyy or Putin. And no, I don’t think it a Russian false flag- it makes the Russian government look to fallible for that.)

Why don’t they try looking into the US CIA? Where do you think those billions and billions of dollars have gone to. They are trying to initiate a war before the 2024 election and this is perfect timing to start World War III. What the hell was Obama doing in the UK this past week? Nothing is by coincidence everything has a purpose.

[StAnDeliver]

Really? You're actually instigating a thread that will disintegrate into utter uselessness in less than 50 posts?

While trying to wrap up a Freepathon?

What the hell is wrong with you?

October 1 2017, Mandalay Bay and a concert in the US.
CIA fingers in the pie, coverups, the whole 9.

Hmmm.

Not only Ukrainian involvement, ...

Yes.

As NATO’s cat’s paw, as the US’s cat’s paw, as the UK’s cat’s paw.

The FSB bombed apartments in Moscow in 1999 to trigger the Second Chechen War. Nothing is of limits to Putin when it comes to staying at the top of Russian political power.

Good one, SM. This thread is like a bug zapper for zeepers. They just can’t stay away.
