The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on affiliated channels on social media.

The problem is that, this helps Putin. If we assume he has no regard for human life, then this is a massive opportunity for him. He’s made the most out of opportunities like this one in the past.
This attack on innocent lives is a profound tragedy as it is. I wish I could spend more time dwelling on the plight of the victims but my brain won’t stop panicking about all the ways Putin can exploit this situation to ruin even more lives.
It’s why I couldn’t shake the idea that this might be a false flag operation. It’s why I can’t deny the prospect that perhaps Russian security services didn’t do all they could to stop this before it occurred.
My thoughts to the victims and those close to them.
You’re not wrong, and he’s obviously using it to full effect either way, but it just boggles my mind a bit that they probably knew full well this’d happen and they let it, smack middle in Moscow of all places.
It’s not exactly a good look no matter how much that demented fuck tries to spin it.
Respect to USA for trying.
“Dear USA pliese not to disturb Russian false fleg operetion. It cost many rubles to setup.”

It wouldn’t exactly be the first time he’d do something like this, although if this is the case it’d be quite extreme even for him.
Nope, seems exactly in par, actually.
