  1. this is western intelligence supported terror attack in moscow. ukrainian or scapegoat isis/alqaida/etc terror groups in syria/iraq is supported by US/Israeli interlligence. while Russia/Syria/Iran is fighting against isis/alqaida.

  5. Don’t let this distract you for the fact the Ruzzia sent 150 missiles and drone into Ukraine targeting civilians and infrastructure including a hydroelectric dam cutting power to millions.

  7. Very fishy, for decades why only now, why not in the West or south America, very fishy. But yet they believed the social media claims as always

  9. Putin was warned of this attack weeks ago, but according to him it was simply western scare-mongering…
    Good thing putin guarantees such "stability" we've seen recently

  11. Mossad created ISIS. Never fired a single bullet at Isreal. And never will. An attempt to provoke a Russian attack on US / ISIS bases in Syria Iraq. False flag attack carried out by Isrealis on US bases in February. US, declined the bait. So will Putin thus proving that Russo US are under the control of ✡️ But WW3 will be staged with the collapse annexation of the Ukraine. A global war but with only 1 side 😂 ✡️

  14. Yeah sure. Hallmark of Ukrainian terror. They know they are losing the war so they gave to result to this type of terror. That’s why both countries need to talk peace.

  17. Deeply condolences for the victim and the victim family. Can Russia catch the terroris? I don't think so Russian famous with the weakness.

  18. What the F is up with Russia's intelligence agencies? The US warned Americans in Russia that there were chances of this kind of attack in Moscow but the FSB and the GUR knew NOTHING? The didn't know that the Ukranians would resist the overthrow of Kiev either , they thought their Uky brothers would welcome them with flowers! They didn't know that NATO would back Ukraine either, they thought NATO would watch and do nothing!. They also didn't know that Wagner was pissed of with Shoigu and would march on Moscow to revenge them being bombed by the Russian armed forces. Now they didn't know what America was warning about? I don't believe it and many Russians don't believe it either. They let this happen just as the US let 9/11 happen and just as Israel let the Gaza invasion happened. Watch for intel bights getting promoted , that is always the sign that this was allowed to happen.
