Damn. They are making it more and more likely the FSB let it happen or were behind it the whole time. They are forcing this narrative hard, lol.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What about ISIS admitting it, even sending a body cam from the attackers.
It reminds me of the Onion: https://youtu.be/Q_OIXfkXEj0
Admitting it*
Sorry, phone keyboard. I tried to fix it after, but now I'm getting an error.
Edit: looks like it works now

Same tactic
Or something from their own playbook https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Russian_apartment_bombings
Of course it does. Not that it was a false flag necessarily, but it was obvious that an attack like this would be used to increase pressure in the war either way IMO.
Never let a good tragedy go to waste
Pretty much what I feel about it. It's still to early to tell what exactly this tragedy is, though I'm not surprised that it's being used by the Kremlin.
I spent an hour today trying to find a real source for this quote, often misattributed to Churchill. And failed. Found some sources saying it predates Churchill, but no direct references. Seems an adage that is quite old though.
I've always heard it attributed (in a slightly different form) to Rahm Emmanuel, e.g. :
Never let a good crisis go to waste
All you need to know in order to know that Ukraine was not responsible is Ukraine outright stating that they are not responsible.
Because if they were responsible, they'd be telling everyone in no uncertain terms that Moscow was not safe from Ukrainian reprisals and this was just a warning.
One thing Ukraine has shown so far, is they aren't stupid. The last thing they would do anyway is attack civilians.
Damnit i should be putting money on these things. Its all so predictable its almost funny (its not)
Putin must be furious that so many russians were killed and wounded and they didn’t even try to take a village.
The whole bit about the perpetrators fleeing to the Ukrainian border I actually kinda believe.
Not because ukraine was involved but its got to be the only border anyone can get through at the moment within easy distance from moscow.
Everyone else has shut their borders
Edit: yes I know its a war zone yes I know its monitored. I also believe that you can never fully secure a land border there will always be holes AND the scum who shoot up a concert hall are not exactly at the top of the IQ range when it comes to escape plans.
Nah, I don't buy this story at all. Their car had Belarussian plates and that border is much closer and still open. I'd even argue that the UKR/RUS border is the worst place to cross with checkpoints, mines and drones everywhere. They would've been safer hiding out in a random village somewhere.
Fleeing to Belarus might as well mean staying in Russia
Of course we will never know the truth I'm sure they will have unhappy accidents next to windows
Crossing a warzone with both sides being trigger happy, covering the whole region with trenches, checkpoints, mines, drones and other troops. Yeah, totally logical choice.
Eeehh, you do understand that the border with Ukraine is a warzone wasteland where they'd first have to pass the actual russian army?
It makes the least sense of all
Why people trust Russia to even have captured the attackers? They probably just stopped someone driving towards Ukraine and "these are the guys, pack them up"
