The national guard is capable of appearing within minutes at the slightest sign of protest on the streets of Moscow, but took an hour-and-a-half to mobilise to the attack - something does not add up, writes Dominic Waghorn.

      If the video “confession” that the terrorists were promised money and provided weapons is actually true and not just FSB bullshit or a forced confession, I absolutely believe that the FSB was behind it.

      It wouldn’t even be the bloodiest false flag in Putin’s career; the '99 apartment building bombings killed over 300 people.

    Maybe it would have done them some good to have some more questions from time to time…

    Is our leader a degenerated cunt and why is he still in charge? Is our “democratic” system a fucking joke and in reality a dictatorship? Are the people in charge money-grubbing whores? Why are a lot of russians brainwashed idiots who believe in Putin? Why are we so fucking awful?

    I mean, those are the questions, right?
