Unofficial reports are saying they are 5 gunmen from an area south of Russia called Chechnya, an area known for separatism and Islamic extremism. Apprently the US government issued an advisory to Moscow of an imminent terrorist attack on March 8. This seems to be the one.
In response to the US intelligence reports of an imminent attack, FSB claimed to have foiled an imminent attack by an ISIS linked group from Afghanistan that planned to attack a synagogue.
Medvedev is all but coming out and saying it was Ukraine, which would be in lock step with the false flag theory.
Chechens do have one of the biggest axes to grind with Moscow as the two Chechen wars saw Russia bomb literally everything in Grozny and kill multitudes of civilians.
But the central government in Russia has a lot of enemies. Eastern Russia is generally white and Christian and is the best developed and economically well off (comparably) part of Russia. But as you head east of the Volga river, you run into a very multi-ethnic part of Russia that is held together by a combination of financial benefits from the central government's oil revenues and the FSB. Relations have become very strained over the Ukraine war as Putin has pulled heavily from predominantly Muslim regions for cannon fodder infantry.
On top of all that, ISIS is definitely in the market for a terrorist attack on Russia in retaliation for Russia's support for Assad in Syria and the Russian armed forces intervention against ISIS and the jihadists who coopted the Arab spring protests in Syria and started a bloody civil war.
You are equating communism with dictatorship. Communism has went hand in hand with authoritarianism but the current government of Russia is not communist , it is a capitalist oligarchy system ruled by authoritarianism. Not sure why Americans, especially white Americans can’t understand that. Is Eritrea also communist? It’s ruled by a violent dictator like Putin. New Guinea is also ruled by a dictator , they are not communist.
You're wasting your time. Democrat/Republican, left/right, liberal/conservative, etc. It's all a smoke screen. The only political spectrum that matters is Complete Authoritarian State-Control over everything you do on one side and Individual Freedoms on the other. And Russia, like China, is well into the State-Control side of that spectrum.
But you won't hear about this spectrum on CNN because it puts them on the same team as Hitler (rightly so). The Nazi's were Socialists, remember.
How is it "terrorism" to attack people you're at war with?
I’m gonna entertain you just one time. Apart from common sense and before all of these Geneva conventions and rules, mass murdering of civilians is a war crime. It’s also written clearly in Article 3 - Conflicts not of an international character: provisions: (1) Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed ' hors de combat ' by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria. a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture; Protocol 1 prohibits all intentional attacks on "the civilian population and civilian objects." It also prohibits and defines "indiscriminate attacks" as "incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated."
Didn't Russia attack people who were taking no part in hostilities when they invaded Ukraine?
Didn’t America attack Iraq unprovoked and with false pretenses? What if some Iraqis snuck into America and started shooting people up for retaliation? Don’t you people have a word for that ?
True enough as far as it goes. But let's be clear that Russia has committed 100x more terrorist attacks in Ukraine than Ukraine has committed in Russia.
So, if we are going to start calling out terrorist attacks, better start with the Russians.
Really? How about the uncounted tens of thousands of people killed by Israel in Gaza? The destruction of most of the homes in Gaza? The imposed starvation?
So, you think that Russia is responsible for that? I don't think so.
Or perhaps you are saying that you are incapable of comprehending the focus of this thread. Seems pretty likely.
At least 40 people were killed and more than 100 were injured after armed attackers stormed a popular concert venue complex near Moscow and opened fire, according to preliminary information from the Federal Security Service i...
Might be a bit insensitive to use this horrific tragedy to make a point about running, but watching some of the awful.clips of the concert goers running for their lives does prove that 'the average person' probably couldn't sprint a 30 second 100m if their lives literally depended on it, let alone a 70 second 400m or a.6 minute mile as is commonly claimed here.
He IS a POS. He always was a POS. He always will be a POS.
POS is at the very core of his nature.
Make no mistake about it, the perpetrators of this slaughter and the people behind it are guilty of terrorism and barbaric acts of the most heinous kind.
I take offense at the accusation that either the US or Israel would be behind this.
Now, news emerges that it was Islamic State that is responsible.
And he lurks off into silence.
This is a tragedy and I feel desperately for the lives lost and for their families.
It is either one of these 3 things : Chechnyan separatists, Islamic extremists from Central Asia, Ukrainian rebel fighters turned into terrorists. Hundreds of people have been indiscriminately shot.
Ukrainians or mercs working for USA/Israel.
You are the king of bad takes on this website. Everything you claim turns out to be the opposite of what you say.
True enough as far as it goes. But let's be clear that Russia has committed 100x more terrorist attacks in Ukraine than Ukraine has committed in Russia.

How about Muslims quit starting wars they can't win. They suck at war so they hide behind their own civilians and look for opportunities to murder unarmed innocents. If the cowards would step out and face their enemies on the battlefield, there would be no more civilian deaths but you know they won't do that. Their puppet masters will keep pulling the strings from million dollar penthouses in Dubai.
