    Russia would. They’re claiming it’s Ukrainian driven, giving them an excuse to intensify their attack.

    25 years ago Putin bombed apartment buildings in Chechnya to give cover for the following actions.

      right, but back then appearing stronk and going to war were popular moves, not how it would work now. also elections already happened

      unless you mean this false flag as a pretext for withdrawing from ukraine and going all in in afghanistan (again)

        They’re using it as an excuse to amp up action in Ukraine, it’s going to be retaliation for the attacks on the gas infrastructure.

      They’re already going all out with missile strikes and throwing battalions of armored assets at the line regularly.

      This is to allow them to declare martial law and/or draft more bodies. Assuming it was a false flag, which I doubt.

      Wasn’t in Chechnya but Buynaksk (in Dagestan), Moscow, and Volgodonsk (in Rostov oblast)
