Russia’s top security agency, the Federal Security Service, says there are dead and wounded in a Moscow concert hall that is ablaze amid a shooting by several gunmen.
He’s been in power for a long time but he’s run an authoritarian regime. He relies on the suppression of a depoliticized majority of the population. The idea here is that he wants to make a move towards totalitarianism: mobilize more of the population towards the war effort. Squeeze those depoliticized folks to force them to declare their loyalty to the regime.
Yes - but why did he let it happen? I’m thinking more that Putin willfully neglected any action against it because (reason). Maybe he wants to mobilise more and wants people to feel like they’re under attack?
I don’t know, why did Bush let 9/11 happen? This is wild speculation one day after the attack with practically no reliable information to work with. The English speaking world has decided that Putin is a cartoon villian or the new Hitler, so sinister conspiracy theories abound.
The best way to tell if it’s a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.
They’ve lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.
So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it’s a false flag.
If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it’s probably real.
Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?

People getting mowed down in a concert hall isn’t anything close to a revolution

Why doesn’t it seem like a false-flag? Who could benefit from this, politically, more than Putin? Remember the Reichstag fire.
Wut. He’s already in power and just won another six year term.

Putin is a real villain, and it’s not far fetched. I don’t know what 9/11 has to do with this though
The analogy isn’t hard to follow: If Bush had some intelligence before the 9/11 attacks, then why did he let it happen? Was he willfully negligent as well? After all, was he not a real villain? Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests
Ah yes killing your own people surely benefits you politically. What a dumbass.
ah yes, gay = bad, how progressive of you
edit: would you call Putin Ukrainian as means of insulting him?
Doesnt matter if its false flag or not. Pooptin is gonna use it as ammo against Ukraine.
