The more dire the Ukrainians‘ situation on the battlefield, the more heinous will be their acts of terrorism. From Gilbert Doctorow at gilbertdoctorow.substack.com:
Bad news travels fast and major international broadcasters are always on the lookout to talking heads for ‘added value’ commentary.
Thus, I was not surprised to receive a phone call from a key Indian television network at 10 pm last night requesting some sage words about the breaking news events in a suburb of Moscow, where a large concert hall had just been attacked by several men in camouflage outfits wielding automatic weapons. At that moment 40 people inside the hall were reported to have been killed on the spot; this morning the number has risen to 60 and it may yet go higher.
Not much more about the tragedy was known then and I declined to comment. Not much more is known now, given that official Russian news releases are very sparing and cautious. We have heard that a ‘criminal investigation’ was opened into the case, but such investigations are opened daily into hundreds of cases relating to the war with Ukraine, mostly in the border territories. Those investigations are purely pro forma and yield no results worthy of discussion.
We are also told that the various Russian law enforcement and intelligence agencies are working on the case. Full stop. So far there is no official Russian speculation on who may have been behind this attack, who perpetrated it. Meanwhile, United States news portals say that American authorities warned the Russians that a terrorist attack was coming in March. No more than that bald assertion is known.
All of it figured it within minutes and passports laying around, now where have I seen that before?
Driving for the UKE border, it really is all scripted from Shakur to DJT.
One page said $5400 was the payout and that has to be a typo.
