Such degeneracy exists in every country. The difference is Russia hasn't embraced all that as deliberate national policy the way Western nations have.

At least in Russia everyone knows who the President is and who's in charge. You really think Biden is making decisions about anything?

I'm not sure currently, but before the Ukraine War, the US and Russia shared intelligence on Muslim terror plots.

My condolences to the victims and I wish Russia well in slaughtering Muslim terrorist scum.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Nobody has blamed Ukraine, and the CIA paramilitary wing of the Middle East ISIS has already claimed responsibility.



Tomato tomato.

What the source that ISIS claim responsibility? And I mean an actual ISIS source, not "some journo said"

From what I am reading in the wonk circles the US actually warned the Russkies about this one and the warning was ignored.

Thr US embassy in Moscow ordered US citizens to avoid all public gatherings on March 7th.

https://ru.usembassy.gov/security-alert-avoid-large-gatherings-over-the-next-48-hours/

The State Department publicly announced US intelligence had uncovered plans by "extremists" to conduct a mass terror event in Moscow.

I guess the FSB decided it was just a Yankee psy op.

"We're going to attack you soon, but not telling you exactly where or when. lol."
Thanks for the warning.

How do you know that, though? Like how do you know how specific the warning to Russia was, and how do you know that Russia ignored said warning? Just because it ended up happening doesn't mean they "ignored" the warning. Were they supposed to shut down their country because of this nonspecific threat that just said to avoid large gatherings? Unless you know something we don't.

Yes, because everyone is gifted with psychic foresight.

My dude, it's on the US embassies website. US citizens are advised to avoid concerts and public gatherings in the Moscow region due to an imminent extremist threat.

The words used actually have meaning. A public advisory coupled with the word "imminent" means high confidence and knowledge. The public statement also means the host country of the embassy was informed.

no president has made decisions since truman its all cabinets and advisors.

We seem to have captured every unique video from this event. After sitting through all of that and seeing all the lovely Americans cheering on the mass slaughter of people who have no power or sway of Putin I now hope all of their children get drafted and are at best killed or worst mutilated in a war their parents all so badly wanted.

I'm American and I don't support this. What a bunch of rotten assholes.

Of course the NAFO ghouls would cheer this on. Then again, they also love mass shootings in the US, since dead kids drum up support for gun control.

The Eagles of Death Metal front guy called gun control fags "vile exploiters of the dead."

Offensive? Sure. But where's the lie?

The US would not issue a general non-specific warning like that without specific intelligence indicating it would happen. Otherwise they'd be putting those out daily. If they had shared that intel with their Russian counterparts then it might've been prevented and such a public warning wouldn't have even be needed. That non-specific warning was a flex.

It was a big mistake getting rid of the color coded terror warning chart. If they had said, "Orange level threat" Russia would have listened.

Counter argument. The non specific warning was given after the CIA attache determined his Russian Counter Parts were more interested in blowing smoke in his face then they were listening to him.

>Imminent
it was issued two weeks ago, for a 48hr period
This appears to been acted on by the Russian Government as an attack was foiled Russia says it neutralized ISIS cell plotting attack on Moscow synagogue two weeks ago. Most likely these were tied together.

There is nothing indicating the warning was extended these two weeks. There is no other mention of this warning by the embassy. So I would assume that the article linked above is the result of the initial embassy warning.

I know it's on the website. You're saying Russia ignored the warning so you're suggesting that they should have... what? Shut down all "public gatherings" in Moscow? That doesn't seem realistic to me. And we don't know what they did to try and mitigate the risk or prepare. Obviously it still happened I'm just saying I wouldn't be so sure they "ignored" the warning unless you expect them to have shut down Moscow entirely.
