    The terrorists knew exactly what the security services were going to do and how long it would take them to arrive and get organized. That gave them an hour's head start. If they were crazy enough to head for Ukraine, they would take the heavily trafficked M3, presumably being very careful not to exceed 100 km/hr. Even with Russia's surveillance, it's hard to believe they were captured so rapidly.

    🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Vladimir Zhirinovsky (1946-2022), then DUMA deputy:
    "In mid-September 1999, a series of terrorist attacks attributed to Chechen terrorists served as an impetus for the Kremlin to launch the second Chechen war. Among the Russian population, the new war in the Caucasus was popular. The campaign became a decisive factor in the rise of the then new one Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
    The explosion of a residential building in the southern Russian provincial town of Volgodonsk on September 16, 1999, which was allegedly carried out by Chechen terrorists and left 17 dead, was announced at a State Duma meeting in Moscow three days earlier.
    September 13, 1999: "Parliament Speaker Gennady Selesnyov read us the news about the explosion.
    However, this only happened three days later, on September 16, 1999."
    Apparently the FSB made a mistake. Putin headed the FSB until he moved to the prime minister's office in August 1999.
    Similar explosions occurred in other cities, including Moscow, with a total of 357 dead and over 1,000 injured.
    Putin went to the Kremlin over the corpses of his own compatriots.

      You don't leave witnesses. Ukraine isn't the only place that has Russian troops. Syria may not be in the news anymore but that doesn't mean it's not still going on.
      All the evidence so far (what little there is) points to it being exactly what it appears to be. The attack doesn't make Putin look strong. It makes him look weak.
      If it's a false flag attack then it's very badly misjudged.

    De certo não foi ataque da Ucrania ,mas se fosse estava totalmente justificado,já que os terroristas russos mataram 600 mulheres e crianças que se abrigavam no teatro de Mariopol.Bombardearam o teatro mesmo sabendo que tinha dezenas de crianças. Afinal agora só morreram 130 terroristas russos ,muito menos do que os ucranianos que mataram no teatro.Portanto não há que complicarem.

      ​@@gregmccarter2176 Nothing so bottomless as Trumpie idiocy. Trump's claims of a "rigged" election were laughed out of court rooms SIXTY THREE TIMES. Sixty three different judges and juries found he lost. He never made the same claims in court that he did at his rallies, because in court they have these annoying things called perjury laws! He LOST.

      Did you see them empty ballot boxes being stuffed with votes? It's estimated only 20% of the Russian voters actually voted. And just by pure coincidence (not) His Kremlin approved opponents each just passed the 3% vote threshold and received the $500,000 USD payment from the Russian electoral commission.

    The concerning thing is that theres no clear proper replacement to Putin, from either within his citcle or the opposition. A power vacuum has the possibility of leading to a worse situation, just as power vacuums have done so in history.
