Video contains violent content. In 2002, a terrorist attack in a theater in Moscow Dubrovka was used by Putin as a reason to start a war in Checnhya. Is he doing the same thing again?

False flag attack to blame Ukraine?

Old russian tactic. In Finland we know this as 'Mainilan laukaukset' or the 'Shelling of Mainila'. What it takes them to ever change I don't know if we'll ever see.

In 1999 - Russian FSB exploded civil houses, blamed Chechens, started 2nd Russian - Chechen war. As shown by many analytics and investigators, including @DavidSatter who wrote book about this. Also Nord-Ost, Beslan, - organised by Russian FSB.

With the previous warning from US and UK about potential attacks, seems like they didn't manage to stop operation from going ahead. As much as I don't like #putin and any supporters of him, that was tough to watch.

The apartment building blowup in 1999 was for the invasion of Chechnya. The theater in 2002 was by Chechen rebels.

Is he? Yes. Yes he is. Because it's what he does.

Yep, mass mobilization incoming. Shortly after the "election". Coincidence?

Likely a false flag and distraction from the real news of the barbarian attack on Dnipro Dam.

Interesting that the US embassy had warned of this potential attack in Moscow weeks back
