Good grief. At least 40 dead, dozens injured after attackers open fire inside busy Moscow-area concert venue, Russian state media reports | CNN
I wonder what if any political faction was represented in large numbers in that audience and who would want many of them dead. Thinking of one particular scenario, it was easier than pushing 40 people out of windows.
You’ll know by whether or not they manage to “catch” any of the trigger men. If they don’t, and it just sits out there as something those “Ukrainians” or “NATO” must have done, then you’ll know. And if some oligarch(s) who might be having friction with Putin over the war happened to be killed, then so much the better.

The West need to get out in front of this and inform what is expected. The 1999 apartment bombing, an event that launched putin into power….. “More than two decades ago, a series of deadly apartment bombings, purportedly by separatists, drew Russian troops into war. Then-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s popularity surged in the wake of his response to the terrorist attacks. He soon became Russia’s president. In the many years since 1999, allegations have lingered that the attacks on Russian civilians were actually a “false flag” carried out by forces loyal to Putin, blamed on Chechen militants to ensure his grip on power. For many in the Russian opposition, the apartment bombings were to Putin’s Russia what the Reichstag fire was for Nazi Germany.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/18/ukraine-putin-false-flag/
Very sad. I didn't remember this story, but the U.S. embassy apparently warned earlier this month about an imminent ISIS attack in Moscow. US embassy warns of imminent terrorist attack in Moscow Published March 8, 2024 Updated March 8, 2024, 10:08 a.m. ET The US Embassy in Russia issued an urgent warning of an “imminent” terrorist attack in Moscow — just hours after ISIS was thwarted from a planned massacre at a synagogue. “The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and US citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” the embassy said on its website. American citizens — already warned off being in Russia during its war on Ukraine — were specifically told to “avoid crowds” and “be aware of your surroundings.”
It's pathetic that any leader would stoop to these desperate measures of killing their own people just to gain (or retain it) power over their citizenry.
