I knew they would the moment I saw it, even with IS actually taking credit.
Several Ukrainian agencies have categorically denied any connection with the attack.
And this is all the evidence that is needed that Ukraine is not responsible. If this was a Ukrainian attack, they would be trumpeting it from the hillsides as a massive success, stabbing at the heart of Russia.
Yep. Also the "Russian officials suggest ~~without evidence~~" part.
Sure, but they could be right without evidence- broken clocks and all that. However, we have evidence that they're wrong.
Oh, no, you're totally right, and your take on it is much deeper than mine. I just see them more as "boy who cried wolf" than "broken clock".
Like, if you want people to believe you, maybe tell the truth reliably and give them a reason to believe you.
Potentially. I can't see state media of Ukraine being excited to brag about shooting up a concert full of civilians. The blowback about brazenly attacking a non-military target such as a concert would be intense. Especially when the Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian infrastructure has seen progress.
Yea, I don't know what they're smoking. Ukraine has shown great interest in having the military function like a proper military and not a government "funded" terror organization like the Z's.
I'm surprised it took them this long to unleash this bullshit. It'll now be propagandized inside Russia to further justify conscription and austerity.
I'm not sure why they want to make Russian people believe that Putin and his SMO are causing this misery to them but ok
Of course they do. Heaven forbid they had to admit that they f-ed up, and that they suddenly have a second front that they simply cannot serve.
Russia had hit coming from anywhere.
