Story that Putin Ignored US Warnings of Terrorist Attack Debunked Before It Was Published
Shout-out to Andrew Korybko
Yesterday, Seymour Hersh this paywalled article consisting of American intelligence sources telling him they warned Russia of a probable terrorist attack in early March, but Putin ignored their warnings.
Four days previously, my favorite Russian writer on Substack, Andrew Korybko, wrote this article explaining exactly why Putin did what he did, and debunking the coming American propaganda that he foolishly ignored their warnings.
Apparently, because Putin didn’t immediately order a total lockdown of Moscow or any other overt and heavy-handed protective reaction after he got their warning, the US Empire is saying he arrogantly ignored their good will gesture because, well, he’s an evil dictator and that’s what evil dictators do.
As Andrew said, the Russians had every reason to anticipate some form of terrorist attack orchestrated by Ukraine. I will add that ISIS would never have existed had the US not conquered Iraq, and that for some strange reason ISIS has never claimed responsibility for an attack on Israel.
Come on now, isn’t that just a little bit odd for a radical Islamic terrorist group? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Empire has been funding ISIS groups to target Arab leaders they don’t like, like the President of Syria, for years.
Is it really so far-fetched to think that the CIA at least encouraged some ISIS cell in Tajikistan to do the Crocus Music Hall attack in order to discredit Putin and terrorize ordinary Russians?
I think not. Thanks for the heads up, Andrew.
Yeah, I saw that story. It was weird. It's also the second Russia story Hersh has botched in just a few months. As you may recall, he recently claimed that Putin had called for negotiations, and that he would, for some inexplicable reason, now be willing to allow Ukraine to join NATO.
???
Apparently Hersh's Russian source has a pretty wicked sense of humor.
Thanks for this. Whatever the western propaganda mill says about Putin is pure bull shit as he is their scapegoat of longstanding. They will say or do anything they can to discredit him. These idiots can only cry wolf so many times, now it is LOL time .
It is well known the CIA have operatives in Ukraine, as does MI6, and their bloody hands were all over this .
The empire of lies has yet to realize its endless lies have a very short shelf life. They have over played their hand too many times.
