This terror attack comes hot on the heels of a landslide victory in Russia for Putin that was widely condemned in the West. Even though it was in line with external polling from western backed pollsters. This undeniable fact suggests a prime motivation for western intelligence agencies to have engaged in this type of terror activity. A blow to Putin for winning re election and terrorizing the people who dared vote for him.
Western mouthpieces, NATO nations, and their leaders have communicated that the intent is to overthrow Putin. Regime changing Putin has been spoken often, loudly and repeatedly by western nations- These facts cannot be denied.
A few headlines based on a very superficial search- Certainly many, many more examples can be found
The Telegraph- Overthrowing Putin is a legitimate war aim
The race to overthrow Putin and take his Kremlin crown has begun
Biden contradicts aides and reaffirms his call for Putin’s overthrow
President Biden contradicted his own staff Monday by insisting he did not regret or retract his spontaneous call from over the weekend for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be removed from power in response to his invasion of Ukraine.
“I’m not walking anything back,” Biden told reporters
The most likely perps. What makes the most sense all things considered? Western Intelligence groups have the means, motivation and assets enabling the carrying out a terrorist attack like the one that took place- I'm referring to CIA, MI5, Mossad, HUR, and others. The claim by ISIS is a smoke screen. It distracts from and gives cover to the most likely and realistic perpetrators.
CNN- Appalling Terror Attack Blow to Putin
Barely a week since Vladimir Putin secured his fifth presidential term, Russia has been plunged into carnage and disarray.
The appalling attack on the vast Crocus City Hall concert venue and shopping complex near Moscow, which has been claimed by ISIS, has left hundreds of innocents killed or injured.
The four men suspected of carrying out the attack were arrested near Russia’s border with Ukraine, Russian authorities said. Putin said they had planned to cross into Ukraine – Kyiv has denied any link with the attack and warned Russia could use it as an excuse to escalate its invasion.
This is hardly the stability and security for which so many Russians voted for President Putin.
For years, the Kremlin strongman has been cast as a leader able to guarantee order in this vast, turbulent country.
But Russia today seems more insecure and volatile than at any point in Putin’s 24 years in power
The CNN article is coming off as gloating
Let’s talk about ISIS taking responsibility. ISIS Khorosan to be specific.
ISIS Khorosan first reared it’s head in Syria. ISIS Khorosan was located in a part of Syria that had been taken over by Kurdish fighters allied with the US. Until Russia and Turkey cooperated to clear them out. In 2014. Yes, in 2014 I’d written about that topic at my former site. The biggest problem with the ISIS Khorosan narrative is that it originates entirely with American intel.

One of the sources used in that piece was from the BBC- Nov 2014
Little is known about Khorasan other than information released by US officials.
I’m going to repeat that
Little is known about Khorasan other than information released by US officials.
At the time the Khorosan narrative emerged the US claimed they killed a Khorosan bomb maker named David Drugeon
https://www.cnn.com/2014/11/06/world/syria-strike/
A U.S. airstrike in Syria appears to have killed a key French jihadist who is part of the militant Khorasan Group, a U.S. defense official said Thursday morning.
It needs to be understood the the US created the ISIS Khorosan narrative and they control all aspects of it.
What makes more sense in this situation?
The CIA and other intelligence groups are stationed in at least 12 locations along the Ukrainian/Russia border.- The gunmen at the concert hall were attempting to cross the Russia border and enter into Ukraine- Where, they would have met their contacts and been spirited away..
Let’s go back to this previous report
The Spy War: How the CIA Helps Ukraine Fight Putin
The C.I.A. and other American intelligence agencies provide intelligence ,track Russian troop movements and help support spy networks.
But the partnership is no wartime creation,
nor is Ukraine the only beneficiary”Supported network of spy bases constructed in the past eight years that includes 12 secret locations along the Russian border.”
head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the C.I.A., together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow.”
The relationship was so successful that the C.I.A. wanted to replicate it with other European intelligence services that shared a focus in countering Russia
The head of Russia House,
the C.I.A. department overseeing operations against Russia, organized a secret meeting at The Hague. There, representatives from the C.I.A., Britain’s MI6, the HUR, the Dutch service (a critical intelligence ally) and other agenciesagreed to start pooling together more of their intelligence on Russia.
The result was a secret coalition against Russia — and the Ukrainians were vital members of it.
the C.I.A. and MI6 had trained their Ukrainian counterparts on recruiting sources, and building clandestine and partisan networks
Mr. Burns’s visit to Kyiv last week, a C.I.A. official said, “We have demonstrated a clear commitment to Ukraine over many years and this visit was another strong signal that the U.S. commitment will continue.”
Lastly- Israel may have been motivated to have Mossad participate in this attack because Russia had met with Hamas officials regarding the Gaza situation. Or Israel may have cooperated because they have motivations of their own- perhaps to get the US on board with their cleansing of Gaza?
Bottom line this was the work of multiple intelligence agencies working cooperatively on the Russian, Ukrainian border. As they have been for many, many years
One reply on “Appalling Terror Attack Blow to Putin Who Promised Russians Security- Cui Bono?”
US Intelligence Confirms ISIS claims? How does the US do that? The only way I can see them confirming is if they have privileged access be able to confirm this?

U.S. intelligence officials confirmed the claim by the ISIS affiliate.
“ISIS bears sole responsibility for this attack. There was no Ukrainian involvement whatsoever,” National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
