    It’s worth recalling when support for the Chechen war was low, Putin initiated a campaign of apartment building bombings in 1999. Some chatter that there were around 8 shooters, and they walked into the hall and immediately shot 40-50, result might end up with over 100 killed.

      You are wrong on a lot of counts here buddy. May want to take a Valium and leave the geopolitics alone.

        I did that on the fly and didn’t make a comment a day after. What counts am I wrong on? Most everything has proven to be true. Thanks for the drug recommendation, are you a doctor?

        Such as? Did putin not bomb his own people in the 90s? Did America not warn about this next attack before it happened?

      An excerpt from the article:

      In October 2002, Chechen militants took about 800 people hostage at a Moscow theater. Two days later, Russian special forces stormed the building and 129 hostages and 41 Chechen fighters died, most of them from effects of narcotic gas Russian forces use to subdue the attackers.

        Those are two separate events…

        The false flag apartment bombings were carried out by actual Russian security services - not Chechen assetts, or militants.

        On a related note, some of Russian agents who took part were comically stupid. If you aren’t aware of the Sims vs SIM card mix-up, do yourself a favor and look it up.

          The Sims comedy hour was a separate event from the other two, it was a 2022 attempt to frame Ukraine for terrorism.
