🇷🇺 Putin began his address by calling the incident in "Crocus" bloody and barbaric, expressing gratitude to the ambulance crews, firefighters, and rescuers for their efforts to save lives, and offering condolences to those who lost their loved ones. He also declared March 24 as a day of national mourning.
It was Ukraine (likely with foreknowledge from Western intelligence), but having a third party claim credit allows the Ukrainians to take the heat off themselves by reducing or eliminating the risk of a retaliatory response from Russia. If they can convince Putin it was a separate group there’s a chance he would be incentivized to deescalate the conflict in Ukraine due to domestic pressure and a feeling that now too many fronts are opening up. By having the group be “Isis” this further helps Israel and the U.S., who both have close military and mercenary ties to Ukraine. Since both of these benefactors, Israel and the U.S., have a Gaza problem (namely world opinion) the intention of blaming Isis is to rally the people of the world against “Islamic terrorism” by trying to link Palestinian liberation with Isis just to muddy the waters in the minds of westerners who are generally spoon-fed a propagandized version of the Middle East in the corporate media. I don’t think it will work. Putin is not that stupid and neither are most people. A few weeks ago John Kirby stood at a podium and told Americans to avoid large crowds in Moscow. Unusually prescient. Since U.S. intelligence is notoriously poor (WMD’s…Al Shifa command center, Oct. 7,) this was either a premonition, the result of rare successful investigative work or indicative of some degree of foreknowledge. Take your pick.
@johnkoah @DD_Geopolitics This is the most plausible scenario > ISIS always owns up to deflect attention from the puppeteers....but they played that hand too much ....it was only a matter of time..
