Who organized the terrorist attack in Moscow and why?
Before answering these questions, let’s look at some facts:
1) Three days ago, right after the so-called “election” in russia, russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the creation of 2 new ground armies, with 16 new brigades and 14 new divisions.
2) Right before the terrorist attack, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the conflict in Ukraine “has become a war for us”, for the first time acknowledging that russia is in a state of war with Ukraine (not a “special military operation” anymore).
3) Three days ago, Putin warned that a threat of a terror attack is “Western Blackmail.” It is silly to believe that the US intelligence had better information in russia than russia’s own intelligence. Putin knew, and chose to do nothing about it.
4) Now let’s look at the terrorist attack itself: Terrorists drive up to the shopping center, armed to the teeth. They shoot, set fire, blow up, and then easily run all the way to Bryansk region – the place most saturated with security forces, special services and russian military! Make sense, because there is no where else to hide in russia.
5) During the detention, the terrorists, understanding what will happen to them (this is russia!) do not resist, they magically survive and choose to be taken alive. But when committing the terrorist attack, they were willing to die and even had a suicide bomber with them.
6) Now, russia is instigating Ukraine in this terrorist attack. Information about the “Ukrainian footprint” is spreading very quickly in russia. The terrorist had “contacts” in Ukraine and were attempting to “escape” to Ukraine. Soon we might even hear a confession that one of the terrorists is Bandera himself.
7) What would Ukraine gain from this attack? Nothing! It would only hurt Ukraine’s standing before the West. The supply of weapons to Ukraine would decrease. The reputation of Ukraine would be that of a terrorist state.
8)We know that Putin has done this is in the past. In order to come to power, Putin blew up three residential buildings in 1999. In order to get more power, ensure his “re-election” and justify the invasion of Chechnya – there was the 2002 “terrorist” attack in the Moscow theater.
Who organized the terrorist attack in Moscow and why? I think it is a rhetorical question.
Facts (1-2) point out that russia is planning a post-election mobilization. Facts (3-5) point out that it was a planned “imitation” of a terrorist attack, well known to Putin and russian intelligence. Facts (6-7) point out that russia is instigating Ukraine in these attacks, although Ukraine has nothing to gain from it (only lose the Western support).
Putin needs to mobilize more troops and he knows how to do it.
