At least 40 people were killed and more than 100 were injured after armed attackers stormed a popular concert venue complex near Moscow and opened fire, according to preliminary information from the Federal Security Service in Russia, state media TASS reported.
I just don’t really see how the US would benefit from this attack though. Putin might even benefit from this attack the same way G.W.B. benefited from 9/11.
The funding for Ukraine ($60 billion) has been stalling for a while now. Some are convinced that it’s time to pull the plug on Ukraine. The Republicans who are not in on the scheme are also furious that Biden is blatantly laundering money like that, and needed to cut that gravy train off for Biden’s donors as well.
Biden absolutely needed to get the pump flowing again if he wants to satisfy his donors in front of the election. He needs to prove his credentials that he is fit to be the president that can deliver the treats to his donors.
The hotter the war goes on in Europe, the less justification there is to cut Ukraine’s funding. A full-fledged Russian retaliation against Ukraine might just be what is needed to bring the votes needed to get the bill passed.
It gives Russia a reason to put Ukraine out of its misery and the US a reason to walk away?
Maybe the point of the NATO escalation was to get stochastic terrorism going in Russia. Ukraine is the new Afghanistan and Ukrainian terrorists can be the new Uighers. Now the US can be relatively hands off and finger wag about Russians violating the precious rights of a bunch of nazis.
