Russia claimed to have neutralised an ISIS cell planning attacks in Russia just a couple of weeks ago so could well be ISIS behind it.

A couple of commentators make a good point, when Russia is behind something they have a story ready to go. Russian media and politicians have nothing, seemingly genuinely surprised and bemused by what is happening. This wasn't expected.

Ukraine already declaring it a false flag. Very early, so either they know it was or they just preempting Russia calling it.

Теракт у Москві - спланована і свідома провокація російських спецслужб за вказівкою Путіна. Її мета - виправдання ще більш жорстких ударів по Україні та тотальної мобілізації на росії.

Looks like they were a bit too hasty.

Yeah there had warnings from western governments recently too about the threat of it in Russia.

Yes quite possibly.

Though it's also too early to be taking the word of that notoriously trustworthy bunch ISIS.

I don’t believe it was a false flag nor do I think Ukraine was involved. Trying to twist it to blame Ukraine is pretty sick but also not surprising.

I guess we'll never know who was involved or why they did it, because the Kremlin will spin it however they want - blaming Ukraine presumably, for purposes of mobilisation.

I reckon it probably was ISIS or some kind of splinter group of it, especially considering the USA warned Russia about the threat of attack recently and their direct involvement in the war in Syria.

And there it is.

Putin tries to pin it on Ukraine. So fucking predictable.



Equally as inevitable is all the Trump arse sniffers posting it all over twitter following Vlads orders.

So conscription is happening for another 500k. This was easy once ISIS did this. Putin was looking for an excuse to announce more feet on the ground.

Nice to see they are torturing the suspects, we’d give them a lovely warm cell so they could use tax payers money to try and set themselves free.

Either you believe in the rule of law, or you don't. It's not the dark ages.

You're aligning yourself with Putin here. Think about that for a moment.

As for warm, comfy cells, spent any time in prison have you? Read about it at all, other than in the Daily Mail? Thought not.

The US are the experts at illegal imprisonment and torture without charge - we seem happy to be allies with them

Just seen 20 days in Mariupol and the recent BBC documentary made by Ukraine soldiers battling to keep control of the railway line in the forest.
Really grim stuff but it's important to keep this war in the public conscience. Everything seems to be about Israel right now.

Ukraine war: The Indian men traumatised by fighting for Russia

Two men who were duped by agents into joining the war against Ukraine speak about their experiences.
www.bbc.co.uk

"In October last year, David Moothappan saw a Facebook advertisement offering jobs as security guards in Russia.
The promised monthly salary - 204,000 roubles ($2,201; £1,739) - seemed a huge amount to the school-dropout fisherman from the southern Indian state of Kerala. Weeks later, Mr Moothappan, 23, found himself on the warfront in the Russian-held city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine."

This is mad. If you have access to Facebook, and therefore the internet, surely you must have to be pretty stupid to fall for this.

Pretty startling assessment

Ukraine could face defeat in 2024. Here's how that might look

With ammo critically low and Western aid stalled, what might Russia attempt in Ukraine this year?

Trump finally came to his senses then.

All for personal gain of course. But still.

Well Hitler would have destroyed lives across Europe

Even by your standards it really is a stupid comparison. Russia isn’t on a plan to dominate the West

So destroying western lives = bad, destroying Ukrainian lives = fine.

Keep digging.

Why I’m even engaging in this nonsense I’ve no idea but it’s a ludicrous argument,

If Russia was perceived as a threat to us there is a legitimate argument to deploy arms and forces. If there is no threat to us it’s an irrelevance as was Vietnam as just one example

Putin wouldn’t have killed anyone had he overrun Ukraine.
He was on a peace mission according to some on here.
There is no way he wanted to reenact the ethnic cleansing of his hero Stalin.

Genuine question-when was the last time one country subsumed another by military force, as Russia intend to do here?

Yep, he was simply ridding Ukraine of Nazis. A genuine good deed. Thanks Vlad!
