Ukrainian Defensive War against the Russian Invasion - Mark IV: The Partitioning of Discussion

Shooting going on in a Moscow mall:

Edit: At least 15 dead. I'm guessing these are Chechen/Ichkerians, but Russia will still blame Ukraine & the West.

Also, an attack like this was predicted two weeks  ago:

Terror attack likely in Moscow today, UK and US warn-
The UK and US embassies in Russia have warned that a terrorist attack could take place in Moscow within the next 24 hours.

The security alert, issued by the US embassy and repeated by the UK, urged American citizens to “avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours”.

The embassy said it is “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts,” but it did not specify what kind of threats it referred to, or who might be behind them.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said on March 7 that its agents had thwarted a potential Islamic State terrorist attack on a Moscow synagogue, with state-owned media reporting the militants behind the plot were killed. It is not known if the incidents are related.

The embassy also advised its citizens to “monitor local media for updates” and “be aware of your surroundings”.

Cue immediate autistic screeching of "false flag!" and/or unironically blaming Ukraine, ostensibly so Putin can clamp things down even harder & push through full mobilization.

I wonder if the authorities will conveniently find Ukraine passports on the "terrorists". Also, it sure is convenient the whole damn building is burning to the ground which will get rid of most evidence. If I recall correctly, some similar events occurred in Moscow 25 years ago.

This is somehow evidence that the US did it and not evidence of FSB incompetence. This was put out on the 7th, so the Russian government had two weeks to ask for the intel and act on it, instead they decided to ignore it. There are retards that believe that terrorists (whom they believe to really be CIA) would give a two week warning of their plans.

What if Russia knew about the attack but did not know details like place and time and announce US and US told the embassy to avoid large gatherings. FSB did kill some terrorist a few weeks ago, maybe they recover some intel from laptop/mobile phone about the fact that there is a plot. I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that USA knew about the attack.

France has released its new defense White Paper.


Apparently Macron's sabre rattling about Ukraine was not idle blustering. The summary of the French defense posture, which will supersede the last White paper that came out almost 20 years ago declares that France can no longer rely on its Allies or International Institutions to secure its Sovereignty. Consequently, the new defense posture will see France retool its Military from Expeditionary to fight terrorism, to Massed Power to fight a near peer power. For fiscal year 2024, the French have doubled their spending on the nuclear weapons program to improve their ability in the first strike theater by air attack, and second strike capability via submarines. Massive capital expenditures are also being applied to the French Military Industrial Complex to retool them for the production of Artillery Shells and other Munitions in order to cover a glaring shortfall that saw overreliance on China. They also intend to develop and deploy a nuclear powered Super Carrier which will be a component of their Nuclear First Strike capability as well as their ability to project power and support ground operations.

The "Near Peer Power" France is retooling to essentially take on solo is left unstated.
