Attack in Moscow
“There is no indication at this time that Ukraine, or Ukrainians, were involved in the shooting,” Kirby told reporters. “I would disabuse you at this early hour of any connection to Ukraine.”
This from Rospartizan is a reminder of how Vladimir Putin came to power and how today’s events benefit him. It is so familiar that many of us on Twitter share this for what it is. So here is the full statement:
About the massacre at Crocus City Hall
The first and most important thing to remember is that Russia is led by a deeply sick and at the same time cynically ruthless person.
It is known to everyone that Putin is capable of the most monstrous and sophisticated crimes for the sake of major political gain. Only his servants or spherical idiots can deny this.
The massacre in the Moscow region benefits Putin and only Putin.
She helps him completely reset the political reality of Russia and not only Russia.
Putin wants:
- The West has forgotten the villainous murder of Navalny
- The West has forgotten the shameful “elections” under police escort and Putin’s actual illegitimacy
- The West forgot about the repressions in the Russian Federation or, at least, considered them justified
- The West is distracted from the war crimes of Putin’s troops in Ukraine
Putin really wants him to turn from a terrorist into a “fighter against terrorism” in the eyes of the West.
Putin also needs:
- To compromise the armed resistance to his regime, to equate Russian volunteer units and Russian partisans with maniac butchers
- Achieve the unity of the enslaved and intimidated people around his boot
- Justify any new waves of mobilization
- Justify any, the most barbaric methods of war against Ukraine, up to the use of tactical nuclear weapons
We are confident that the massacre either took place with the permission of Putin’s intelligence services (they are in operational control of Islamist groups) or was organized by these intelligence services.
Finding himself isolated from the civilized world, faced with growing armed resistance from the Russian people, Putin decided to once again put on the boots of 1999, which smelled of hexogen. Decided to shed the blood of Russian civilians.
We urge Western leaders not to believe the liar and war criminal who occupied the Kremlin and occupied our country.
We address the citizens of Russia. You see what’s happening. To strengthen his power, this ghoul is ready to do anything. It must be destroyed. There is no other way.
Now let’s go for some of the know. Details. Remember, it’s early, so a lot of this will change. Whether it’s because we are learning facts or the facts Russia wants us to know:
First, we know four men were involved in the attack. It’s a mass casualty event, with the presence of special forces already in place. So first, what we know about casualties and four shooters with AKs will cause mass casualties:
40 people died in a shooting at a shopping center in Moscow
The building of the Crocus City Hall shopping center, where the terrorist attack took place, is on fire; the roof is collapsing.
It is too early to draw conclusions about who shot and on whose order: there are many versions, but not enough information. One thing can be said: the Russian criminal government is capable of waging a war on foreign territory for more than two years and spending incredible resources to ensure that innocent people are imprisoned for words. Russian special services cannot prevent a terrorist attack. They also cannot stop the five armed terrorists who freely walked inside without hiding their weapons.
According to preliminary data, 40 Moscow civilians became victims of either a terrorist attack that could not be prevented, or the new Ryazan sugar. Once again, Russians are paying an unimaginable price for the incompetence of criminals in power: how much more will they have to pay?
We express our condolences to the victims and the families and friends of the victims.
The part that got me going, hmm…AK rounds are not that flammable. However, one of the emerging facts is that an explosive was used. Remember, two weeks ago, multiple governments, including the United States and the British government, warned of possible terrorist attacks in the Moscow region.
