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

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.

The very first such briefing I had btw was by the FBI in a tech conference, It concerned the Unabomber attacks, in 1988.

My first thoughts would be an inside false flag job.

On second thought, maybe Russia is not as secure as one is led to believe.

I’m still trying to get my head around how the Israelis did not see an attack coming from the North.

Sadly our shell of sovereign republic no longer has borders.

I thought Israel and Russia did.

Russia’s warning about the Boston Marathon attack was specific, and named the perpetrators.

The USA “warning” in Moscow was no more specific than “stay away from theatres”.

Well, if we were to meet, and if you were so upset as to choke me, it would be very unfortunate, but not very useful. I would sue you for one thing, if you have any assets.

You probably need to find more productive things to do than obsess over policy disagreements. Also, if argumentative opposition makes you THIS angry, I suggest counseling. This is not good for you.

As for why I answer you, it is because you post assertions. That, in an argumentative venue, is like swishing your sword about and yelling “en garde!”. Which indicates a desire to cross swords, to engage. Asserting X, and then not (properly) defending it, is simply not done. Way too common here unfortunately, but still not right.

I did my postgrad (MBA) in Jesuit institutions, but all the rest of my education was Christian Brothers (La Sallians, FSC).

Russia has been suffering a two year spate of sabotage attacks from Ukraine. That indicates a rather poor state of internal security.

“And calling me names is not an argument.”

For some reason the pro-Russian folks prefer schoolyard epithets as opposed to fact based discussions.

Odds are one of them will read this very post and validate it by insulting me.
