The death toll from the assault on the Crocus City Hall currently stands at 137, with another two hundred injured. It is the bloodiest terrorist attack in Russia since the Beslan school massacre twenty years ago - and, as with so many events these days, it makes a lot less sense.
As things stand after forty-eight hours, ISIS - remember them? - have claimed credit for the bloodbath. No, not ISIS HQ, but their Khorosan branch, which is a breakaway group from the Taliban and al-Qaeda, not necessarily in that order. Islamic State-Khorosan, you'll recall, slaughtered even more people as the US skedaddled out of Kabul in 2021. ISIS-K or IS-KP is supposedly keen to overthrow the Taliban, yet in January decided for the first time to expand its operations beyond the Af-Pak region. They pulled off two suicide bombings at events in Iran to mark the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, the Iranian terror honcho taken out by Washington.
So, not yet three months after picking a fight with the mullahs, they've now decided they might as well tug on Putin's chain.
Hamas, by contrast, is standing with the Russians:
We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack that targeted civilians in Moscow, killing dozens of people and wounding them.
So ISIS-K-POP is now on the outs with the Taliban, the Pakistanis, the ayatollahs, Putin and Hamas. Go big or go home, as they say in America.

“Hamas, by contrast, is standing with the Russians”
You can always judge people by the company they keep.
But if you judge things by what they claim, or what the media announces, you’re lost.
Occam’s Razor: Muslim terrorists have attacked Russia before. Muslim terrorists will attack Russia again.
The part of the story that makes no sense is the claim that these mutts were headed to Ukraine and that they (a group of Muslims) were going to seek safe haven in a country that is right now busy killing Muslim invaders.
They likely would have been killed trying to cross into Ukraine.
More likely is they were headed back to Tajikistan.
Yep, you can always judge people by the company they keep. Biden and Zelenskyy.
In Zelensky’s place I’d hold my nose and be friends with whoever wanted to help.
Doesn’t work geographically.
It would require numerous border crossings to get to the Russian border, and a visa for each of those countries — specifically Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and then Russia. That’s rather many visas, all while carrying weaponry in whatever vehicle that would escape inspection at those borders?
Nah. Too many borders and risk. Bribery of border guards is no more likely than bribing US border control or any other country’s border control. It can happen, of course. US border people maybe need some extra money. But it’s taking quite a risk to presume you can bribe a Kazahkstan border control point (a rich country now with all that gas and oil) and instead not have them decide to search the vehicle.
We don’t know very much. Makes not much sense for them to have travelled over 100 miles out of Moscow before being picked up.
In general I would think Ukraine is a tame presumption of guilt. Much more likely US or UK actors, rogue or otherwise. They would pay and orchestrate . . . not the event itself, but the handlers of the event (11 guys arrested? that’s a lot) so as to pretend in the mirror they did nothing horrible.
The Russians will eventually know what happened. We won’t, until Trump takes office and exposes it.
The ones holding their noses, are the ones who have to deal with the rapacious Ukie piggy! “More money! More money! More money! We need to buy another mansion, to add to the family collection!”
Of course con artists, like Zelenskyyyyy and PedoJoe Biteme, are attracted to each other.
Putin still hasn’t condemned the Hamas mass-rapes or prisoner-taking yet, has he?
Yet he invites them to Moscow for official talks, correct?
“similar monsters”
Putin decides who gets responsibility for the attack. Right now he is of course putting much of the blame on Ukraine. Doesn’t matter who really did it.
The reason that theory doesn’t work is that Russia’s decisions about Ukraine are already made. There is no need to generate any stories about Ukraine involvement because the decisions are already made and in place and actions are underway and relentless. There would be no value to another story. It would change nothing so there is no reason to manufacture one.
I do question why they had travelled 100 miles+ before being picked up. That is puzzling.
And PedoJoe Biteme’s gunmint just allowed a resolution in the UN to pass 14-0, to call for a UNILATERAL ceasefire by Israel. No call for ham-ass to surrender, no call for the return of hostages, just an attack on Israel! PedoJoe’s USSA could have vetoed the resolution but chose not to. They threw Israel under the bus! The Bible informs me that G_d will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. Most of NATO is now cursed.
The West is supposed to be the ‘good guys’. We were during the cold War. Now, how do you tell the ‘white hats’ from the ‘black hats’? The ‘leaders’ of the West have been overtaken by evil, satanic ideas. They support ‘culling the herd’, cutting food production through reducing nitrogen-based fertilizer use, getting rid of cars essentially, housing the remnants of the ‘herd’ in rabbit warrens, etc. Let’s not forget the attacks on Christian faith on both the USSA and PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh) and, in fact, throughout almost all NATO countries, as well as the push for ‘trans rights’ and the push against ‘parental rights’!
Putin is a dictatorial nationalist doing what one would expect of a dictator, PROTECTING his fellow countrymen who were persecuted by right wing Ukrainians in majority Russian-speaking territories of Ukraine. There was a tentative agreement between Putin and Zelenskyy, to end the war in April 2022. Then, neo-com UK PM Boris Johnson flew into Kyiv and scuppered the deal. Since then, how many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have been killed in the fighting?
The fighting is NOT about ‘defending democracy’, any more than ‘ill douche’ Castreau’s enacting the Emergencies Act, was ‘defending democracy’! Zelenskyy is ALSO a dictator! In November 2023, he cancelled the Ukrainian election. He also outlawed certain churches. He has also done nothing about the ‘press gangs’ that are ‘recruiting’ (aka kidnapping) people into the Ukraine military.
The Western oligarchs who control Western governments, such as Larry (the) Fink of BlackRock, for example, want to break up Russia, so they can get their hands on its massive natural resources for pennies on the dollar. If hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of millions are killed in WW3 or a nuclear war? They don’t care. So many of them have bunkers and escape plans to the Southern hemisphere! Besides, most of them want a much reduced, and CONTROLLED (by them) human population! Theydon’t GaS, if they can get more control and MONEY!
NATO should not have ANYTHING to do with this war between two dictators. The ‘leaders’ of the West have forsaken G_d, for their own lustful desires. There are no more ‘white hats’ in the West!
