We may have a little "conundrum" here, eh? I hope I'm wrong. Too many angles. Not good.
I hope the "official" story is that it's just some deranged crackpot tossing a training grenade - or better yet for the "official" story - a rock or a beer bottle.
The individual was acting alone, was not part of a Chechen team, those allegations are groundless, Georgia and Russia stick by the official story, etc etc. The situation was over-hyped, the President is safe, Georgia can relax, and Russia can STAND DOWN. There may be a strong case for creative propaganda/PSYOP to bury this one. But the situation would have to be controlled quickly, as in NOW, not another 10 hours.
I’m watching Russia right now to see how they react. If you see any news or comments pertaining to this subject from the Russian perspective in the coming hours, days or weeks, please ping me. Same drill with any allegations of Russian airborne units or other military units (avaiation assets) alleged to be deploying to the gorge.
Tks
The latest:
Not confirmed by our SS yet - but the Georgian intel said somebody threw a grenade - which was meant to go on the stage - but it hit a person and fell to the ground. A policeman picked it up and stopped it from going off. They never told our SS until the plane was in the air on the way home.
But .. I've just realized that just about the time this grenade thing was going on - I was brushing my teeth and I stopped all of a sudden because I felt impressed to pray Isaiah 54:17 - "No weapon formed against you shall proper". I said it over several time over the President. I just thought it was because he was going to be flying a long distance today to get home.
I'm sure there were a whole bunch of us who were impressed to do the same thing.
