Vibes of the bolshoi theatre attack.

uh WHAT?

Sounds like an Islamist attack.

Dunno, could be mafia. The owner is a massively corrupt legacy Azeri billionaire (US citizen (R) wife, US citizen (D) daughter) who has been getting even fatter on Russian state contracts and funded a hohol spy org. Very sus.

edit: holy fuck! I just found out my second official employer, Avangard Bank, is run by a hohol cult. holy fucking fuck.

So it's either Ukrainians striking back, Russian glow op, or American glow op

The footage popping on Xitter is pretty brutal. Someone made a No Russian joke earlier but it really is at that level of walking around with automatics gunning at people.

Hope our Russian Kiwis are safe in this.

uh WHAT?

he's probably thinking of the hostage crisis 20 years ago when chechens took over a theater in moscow
though it was at a different theater, not the bolshoi

The more things change the more they stay the same:

This is probably a terrorist attack. Most mass shooting don't have two shooters and it seems they have disabled the fire alarm / suppression systems.

Well, they are all brown, and I think I can see a beard on at least one of them.
Looks like religion of peace is at it again.

Tenet opera siege IRL.

This has to be a Ukie glow op

One vid I saw, spoilered a few posts up, showed a pile of people in a corner writhing as one of the gunmen just shot them all. @Johnny Salami showed one of them doing the same to people inside the concert hall. This is what Total X Death looks like.

Maybe the Chechnians are looking to go independent again, which would make this like the 5th war or something.

Thats the one I saw and decided to not watch anymore.

Longer footage from inside the hall. People are starting to get up and leave due to the smoke, I think you can hear muffled gun shots outside hall, and then about a minute in a woman screams and shots ring out from inside.

Not gonna happen, Kadyrov has a good grip on Chechnya and they're getting massive amounts of money from Slav Russia. Chechens live their best faux-medieval life in a globohomo world. They all 100% turn out for elections and 100% vote Putin.

Some rando is claiming that "Four Islamic Wahhabi extremists" were the ones behind the attack. I've not seen anything to back this up. Thought it still worth capturing.

Also interesting is that some other randos were saying a few hours earlier that Russia added LGBTQ to it's list extremist and terror groups. I have no idea of the validity of that either. It's just all weird.

There's lots of jihadis from Syria and hohols both who would love to do this

So it was the Bolivians

This is either a par-for-the-course glowop KGB false flag or the Ukrops are starting to flip the table. I guess we’ll find out.

Even if the Russsian gov’t didn’t commit the attack, I have a feeling they might’ve strategically let it happen to rally public support for the war or something. (Or assert more authority in general)

Remember, no russian

A better question is if perhaps all the attackers speak English and use NATO weapons, since that was the whole point of that mission in MW2. A false flag attack to provoke WW3, hence the "no Russian" quote.

I expected this. Mass shooting and explosions. If it was Ukraine it would had been a missile strike.
