Regardless, the Kremlin will spin this to accuse Washington and Kyiv as being behind this Islamic State terrorist attack. Makes for great domestic consumption.

Yup. Already saw a report that a white van with "Ukrainian license plates" was seen in the vicinity.

He looks scared.

But, this day is probably the best day of the rest of his life.

Let the conspiracy theories begin:

[Renauda]

No doubt this terrorist attack will prove to be a market garden of conspiracy theories. Many of which will be generated by the Kremlin. It’s just the beginning.

Any international cries of support and solidarity with Russia? Any offers of humanitarian aid?

they are getting all the same thoughts and prayers as the massacred Israelis.

Russian interrogation:

Screenshot because tweet “not found.”

[Horace]

I was surprised the terrorists escaped. Usually those sorts of attacks don't have an escape plan. Also surprised that they were motivated by money rather than martyrdom, if the stories above are true.

@Horace

…if the stories above are true.

That is looking more and more like a big “if”.

@LuFins-Dad

Any international cries of support and solidarity with Russia?

None for Russia but plenty for the victims and their families. As it should be.

Also, one of the attackers wore a body cam. Yeah, there's video.

I LOL'ed before I even opened your link.

Yeah, something tells me that the Russian "justice" system will be less than charitable when dealing with these assholes.

ETA: Give 'em a fair trial and then hang them.

I don’t think we’re allowed to think authoritarianism has any positive aspects.

Thank you, citizen.

We look forward to our upcoming conversations.

There’s talk of bringing back the death penalty over this. Won’t be hanging though.

Sudden, explosive acute lead poisoning at the base of the skull is the method of choice. That is if the condemned survives what the guards and other inmates subject him to in lieu of a last meal.
