Russian State TV Boss Slams West Over Mass Shooting: 'Direct Participation'
Newsweek ^ | 3/23/24 | Brenden Cole

Posted on 03/23/2024 6:10:17 AM PDT by hardspunned

Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan has accused Western intelligence of "direct participation" in a massacre at a Moscow concert hall that has killed at least 115 people and left hundreds injured.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for Friday night's attack on Crocus City Hall in which armed men entered and opened fire. The U.S., which had warned of an imminent terrorist attack this month, said that theory is credible.

However, in a post on Telegram and X, Simonyan, who is editor-in-chief of the RT channel and an ally of Vladimir Putin wrote: "Western intelligence agencies knew yesterday that the perpetrators were similar to ISIS. That's why they started feeding this version.

I’m watching Steve Bannon’s War Room right now, they just showed a video when Victoria Nuland was leaving the State Department, she was pushing for the 60 billion supplement that is up for debate in Congress, her comments the money would be used to fight an asymmetric war against Putin and Russia and that Putin would experience some really nasty things as a result of this money.

This entire debacle is right on the verge of getting completely out of control.

Foggy Bottom and Langley have been up to no good for decades.
They seem to be stepping up the insanity.

That pic in your post says it all....THAT’s who’s running the country. pedoPIG is just the sock puppet to take all the blame.
Wonder if he took her with him when he went to Britain last week, most likely, to assist in facilitating this BS?

Before the fact, the US Embassy gave warning to citizens in Moscow that an attack was imminent and to stay away from crowded areas, or words to that effect.

Obviously, US intellige2nce knew something was up.

**ISIS - we hated and killed them in Afghanistan, then armed and allied with them in Syria.***

But first we armed them in Afghanistan when the Russians invaded. I still remember advertisements in SOLDIER OF FORTUNE magazine begging for donations for the islamic fighters in Afghanistan.

All terrorist attacks has done in the US is get calls for “More Gun Control!” which gives the democrats the pretense of doing something while doing nothing about the actual cause.

Apparently the muslims have a new MO, Attack a Music festival. It worked very well in Russia, Israel, and Las Vegas.

Now that the warm season is here, all US LE should be on very high vigilance at any large gathering.

ISIS probably has contacts scattered throughout the world, both with and without the knowledge of the countries they are located in.

Ukraine is a chaotic mess ripped up by war, with large sectors of its territory occupied by Russia or separatists. Criminals would logically choose such situations as paths of least resistance to transit.

Where the terrorists travelled or were headed is not per se proof of state support or foreknowledge.

Question Putin should be asking his internal security people: How did these armed terrorists get into Russia and travel within Russia without being noticed?

LOL! When they did the casting call for this theater event, they should’ve insisted on non smokers only.

US & Britain armed and trained Kurdish militias, supported them with airstrikes and special forces, and destroyed all the overt parts of ISIS in the Raqqa campaign (2017) among others. That ended the Syrian phase of that war.

Similarly the US backed up Kurdish and Shiite forces in the extermination of ISIS in the Mosul campaign (2017).

You should have been paying attention.

“Why did the US specifically mention to avoid concerts?”

This sort of warning has usually come from signal intelligence. Often the bad guys opsec is leaky.

I was paying attention, Eurotrash. My buddies and I were running thermites through the same American equipment that was now being turned against us.

True story - now please GTFO and just stay in your Euro $**thole.

Translation: I have no idea what actually happened/happens, so I'll just make up some apologetic bullshit.

None of us here know.

However, given my career, I have been party to various Homeland Security/FBI briefings. Thats what they have said is a typical source of this sort of warning. Since the “chatter” is very rarely specific its rare that they can act on it, but they will release a warning with whatever helpful information they have.

Our particular interest was possible attacks on US infrastructure. This has been an ongoing thing over the last two decades.

You get called names because you can’t be choked or dragged out.

Some of us seriously are starting to hate the Eurotrash, globalists and various mystery turds who float into these threads advocating bankruptcy and tossing our providence and prosperity into yet more war machine failures.

You people need to seriously be smashed at this point... not just called names.

And why do you keep pinging me when I’ve made it clear I cannot stand you... Jesuit flunky?
