since he wants people to believe the Ukranians are behind it. I guess he'll find a way.

He always does no matter how absurd it sounds. Meanwhile, the whole world knows the truth.

It doesn't matter because many people will believe them and there will be no consequences. They can even change the lie the next day and it won't matter. Too many people believe the person, not the words. Truth, reason, and logic are meaningless.

Putin owns the media in Russia. The people only know what Putin tells them. Even the internet has legit sources blocked. Some stuff gets throgh, but not enough to effect his control and popularity. If Putin says ISIS was working with Ukraine, 90% of the people will believe it.

There are a ton on You Tube. Pathetic. Putin can't even twist this BS after 3 days of evidence that ISIS did it. Let's see, the bots are saying..."Obama did it, The West did it, the CIA did it, Israel did it, the UK did it, and of course Ukraine did it". I'm surprised they didn't say the Easter Bunny did it. According to Putin, everyone did it except ISIS, film footage and admissions are not fitting to Putin's agenda.

No one in Russia is getting any real, fact based reporting. Go figure.

I can't decide who I want dead more, tRump or Putin. It's really a tie.

7. Maybe they went through Belarus

I'm being mostly sarcastic, but it's not entirely without a basis. Back in 2021, Belarus brought all these migrants from the Middle East to force their way into Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania. But I don't think that this is the case. However, being that Belarus is a puppet of Putin, the Kremlin could make up a lie that the ISIS terrorists were trying to go to Ukraine via Belarus. But assuming that the terrorists were from Afghanistan, even at the closest point, they are at least 850 miles from Russia. Is Russia going to go after the Taliban-controlled government of Afghanistan? By the way, ISIS is against Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and the Taliban-controlled government of Afghanistan, especially Syria, of who al-Basad is an ally of Russia.

8. If ISIS did that in the USA, we'd have military bombing the crap out of them tomorrow. But Putin...

his toy soldiers are busy getting un-alived in Ukraine for a special military operation against the Nazis and his mercenaries have turned against him, bombing cities in the south. So...what's a dictator to do? Are the invisible Nazis in Ukraine more dangerous than ISIS to the Russian people? If I were a Russian (and I know many Russians because I lived there in the 90s), I'd be very upset that my government is fighting ghosts and killing our young men for some natural gas resources in Ukraine while ISIS is free to terrorize concert halls and kill hundreds of Russians at a time.

Good thing ISIS didn't strike last week, before Putin was re-re-elected. Otherwise, his opponent might have won. Oh...wait...he's dead, too. Nevermind.

That's what this attack was in retaliation for.
