Yep. Governments lie all the time. They will lie even when they don’t have to lie. And their lies will change depending on the situation at the moment.

The suburban Moscow music hall where gunmen opened fire on concertgoers was a blackened, smoldering ruin Saturday as the death toll in the attack surpassed 130 and Russian authorities arrested four suspects. President Vladimir Putin claimed they were captured while fleeing to Ukraine.
Kyiv strongly denied any involvement in Friday's assault on the Crocus City Hall music venue in Krasnogorsk, and the Islamic State group's Afghanistan affiliate claimed responsibility.
Putin did not mention IS in his speech to the nation, and Kyiv accused him and other Russian politicians of falsely linking Ukraine to the assault to stoke fervor for Russia's war in Ukraine, which recently entered its third year.
U.S. intelligence officials confirmed the claim by the IS affiliate.
"ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
The U.S. shared information with Russia in early March about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow and issued a public warning to Americans in Russia, Watson said.
Putin said authorities detained a total of 11 people in the attack, which also wounded more than 100. He called it “a bloody, barbaric terrorist act” and said Russian authorities captured the four suspects as they were trying to escape to Ukraine through a “window” prepared for them on the Ukrainian side of the border.

Now there is a credible reliable source...Good gawd!
...and maybe funded by the sale of American weapons left in Afghanistan.
Officially corrupt liars and assorted criminals.
Of course, they all work for the same guy.
Yep. Governments lie all the time. They will lie even when they don’t have to lie. And their lies will change depending on the situation at the moment.
The superiority of all nations in finding the truth about terrorist incidents as compared to the US should have solved this right away. /S
If they’re all so smart then why the outlandish stories that could have been in Weekly World News?
Bat Boy Warned Putin Before Carnage.
Nebraska Woman Saw Terror Night in a Dream and Phoned Moscow But Was Put On Hold.
ISIS taken video, cutting throats as usual for islam.
Think this was anything but islam, idiots?
Are there any stupider people that go on about ‘false flags’ and this isn’t a Jihad attack?
That’s 60IQ level.
I agree with you and George.
I don’t trust ANY governments. Biden’s, Putin’s, Zenlensky’s, whatever Hindu is in charge of the UK, Xi, the Ayatollahs, Hamas, The Houthi goatherder, Trudeau, etc., etc.
ALL of them work against the people to their own advancement and enrichment.
They’ll kill to keep their place at the trough.
The ISIS Story is starting to unravel. Looks like Ukraine did the deed or was involved. Now it might have been a rogue agent or section, operating without US or Zelensky’s OK, but it looks more and more like an act to sow mistrust of Putin, and weaken his ability to rule and wage war. The ISIS link seems rather weak—even the banner style used to announce their roll in the attack, was done on a format long abandoned by ISIS. The question is—what will Putin Do? The ball is in his court and like Nordstream bomb—the CIA/MI6 will shout to the heaver’s “It wasn’t us!” But who will believe them?
Nope.
This is islamic jihad. Period.
Inside footage released by them of slitting shot up people’s throats.
Do NOT be an idiot.
Link, please.
Won’t be any link to a fantasy. These pro-jihadists on this site have already determined it’s not jihad, and will say so at all costs. These guys were slitting throats in ISIS released selfie cams..
LOL to the MORONS that thought this wasn’t just another islamic jihadi attack.
I’m quite sure the Russians will know exactly who is responsible and they will unleash hell on those responsible.
Putin Is Left With Egg on His Face After ISIS Provides Evidence It Carried Out the Moscow Attack
Yup, if I’m a Muslim shooter without a martyr complex and escape plan is to do the mission get to your safe house and exfil to Kazakhstan or to Chechnya for a way out. Likely they had the go to heaven fatwa to do the attack.
I assume that the Russian attack is payback for Syrian support and direct attack against ISIS.
“They’ll kill to keep their place at the trough”
History repeats itself and many of us never learn.
Read an article recently about thing Nikita Khrushchev said in the 50’s on how to manipulate a society and we are watching it play out today.
