I don’t have an opinion yet. Too soon...there is sure to be more information and I don’t trust any of the parties releasing “news” about this.

Muslims attack Russia again and somehow it is now Ukraine’s fault.

So terrorism in Moscow on mostly civilians is ‘asymmetric warfare’?

Even if it’s asymmetric, what strategic objective does it accomplish?

ISIS took credit.
The most obvious explanation (occams razor) for saying it was Ukraine is because Russia is fighting Ukraine in a hot war with them.

I’m not saying it wasn’t Ukraine, but it’s not like we haven’t been flooded with propaganda from both sides for the last few years. This not being propaganda would be the exception, not the pattern.

Why head for the Ukrainian border? The entire border is militarized and controlled by Russia.

FYI, Mark Wauck is a douchebag.

[pierrem15]

More completely idiotic Russian propaganda no one believes.

ISIS attacked Russia because of Putin's big claim to be "Christian" (LOL) and because they are vying for attention.

Given the probable history of Russian false flag operations justifying the second Chechen War, there's a distinct possibility this was an FSB operation or that the FSB allowed it to move forward simply because Putin found it politically useful to justify further mobilization.

Cui bono? Certainly not Ukraine.

I used to like Mark Wauck, but lately I have found his very anti-semitic comments regarding the war between Israel and Hamas very disturbing.

and that Putin is “sure to face some nasty surprises.”

********

As much as I detest war pig Nuland & wherever she shows up overseas, bad things tend to happen, if you read her actual speech, 3 words have been left out: “on the battlefield. Left out twice actually from comments I’ve heard, when she refers to asymmetric warfare & nasty surprises.

Those 3 words change the context from general (could apply anywhere, including the Crocus City Hall & a terror attack) to fairly specific (the battlefield).

From speech:

“With this money, Ukraine will be able to fight back in the East and accelerate the asymmetric warfare that has been most effective on the battlefield. And as I said in Kyiv three weeks ago, this supplemental funding will ensure Putin faces some nasty surprises on the battlefield this year.”

I'll go with the opposite of whatever our state department, CIA or whatever the official US reporting is.

That worked for me when the official narrative of our government was that DJT was a Russian operative.
