This may shed some light on things. Apparently my mate got home and instead of going to bed was put on 4 hours notice of war (I mean Europe, not Uklraine).
Anyway, about terrorism
"Terror
Nobody has missed that Russia had a bout of terror in a concert hall in Moscow.
The old communist party approved band Piknik of Soviet Vintage nick was supposed to play there.
An unknown amount of highly trained operatives purportedly from ISIS (they have taken responsibility) attacked the place.
It is believed that there was between 6 and 11 assailants, and Russia has arrested 11 people, unclear if any of them had anything to do with the attack though.
For being in Russia the security was incredibly shoddy, and the metal detectors at the venue had been turned off for reasons unknown.
It is here good to know that the US had warned Russia that they had intel in regards of an upcoming ISIS attack in Moscow.
"Putin" himself had scoffed at this.
What we know is that the attack happened, 90 people died (and counting), ISIS did it (we have intel proving that), and we know that for some reason Russia basically let it happen to themselves.
We also know the why of the attack, that was due to Russia bombing Syria and ISIS positions there, at least partially.
Now, here are some somewhat well founded things that can be speculated upon.
We believe that the removed security and slow response was due to some sort of internal power conflict in Kremlin.
Both FSB and GRU staid out of it, until after the attack was well done, and we know they knew that it was gonna happen since the US told them what would happen, where and when...
Something is truly odd now with FSB and GRU playing games that is not in line with the rest of Kremlin, but what the reason is for that is probably so Russian that we will never understand it.
Now, let us for a second look at ISIS.
They are a Sunni movement, an off-shoot of the Sunni Wahabitic movement out of Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia is the main sponsor of the movement, both with arms and finances.
I am pretty certain that this will be tracked back to Saudi Arabia as a payback for the Houthi's being backed by Russia.
And what Saudi Arabia does is at least known by the CIA.
We shall see where this lands at.
Fallout, the initial thought in Europe was that this was a false flag attack to either go nuclear in Ukraine, or to attack Europe outright.
And the initial Russian comments did indeed track with this narrative to a T.
In fact, the comments given was so fast that they seemed pre-prepared and rehersed.
So, the button was pushed in Europe to prep for an imminent war.
While you where sleeping in Europe air defence units moved out to pre-selected spots, radars turned on, and fighter jets and sigint/radar planes flooded the borders towards Russia with shoot-to-kill orders against any approaching planes.
Obviously this level of readiness is extremely dangerous, and is avoided at all cost by everyone, but this time it was warranted due to the initial responses by Russia.
As the confusion started to spread in Russia over who did it, and the narrative changed to the usual rubbish, the shoot-to-kill order was dropped, but the rest remained.
Russia obviously noticed that Europe had enacted the rapid response system and did not like the possibility of a shooting war with Europe over something that was out of their control.
And they called and talked, and war was avoided by showing strength, Russians only talk in case they are about to be bonked over the head.
Russian terrorism
Few have noted that Russia committed yet another war crime by almost blowing up Ukraines largest remaining hydroelectric dam.
If they had succeeded a huge number of Ukrainians would have been killed, and it would have caused yet another ecocide.
It was reported that this would have also destroyed the cooling system at Enerhodar NPP, but this is not true.
The pumps are above the top water line that would have happened, and there is ample equipment to ensure that the water lines would have kept operational.
Beyond that there is a full pool of cooling water that would last for 14 days, and another 48 hours in the reactors.
Also, the reactors are in safe mode, and on top of that each of the reactors are completely slagged in a manner that lower peak possible temperature if a total failure occur.
This means that they would at worst be able to break out of the core, but that the safe containment under would hold the core contained.
In other words, the worst that can happen in Enerhodar NPP is that it will be a mess to clean up the safe containment barriers.
How, when and other details is not possible for me to talk about it since they are classified for the next 75 years."
Of course he knows how the Ernerhodar plant was made safe.... that's what he was sent to Ukraine to do in the first place, before he became more embroiled.
On Sullivan and refineries.
"Jake Sullivan
The softboiled cannon named Jake Sullivan got it into his head to try to force Ukraine into stopping the wildly successful attacks on Russian oil refineries.
A less reliable Pundit got hold of this somehow, and the news exploded.
He was obviously wrong about everything beyond the Jake Sullivan thing.
This caused everyone and his aunt in Europe to start screaming at sleeping US Senators, Representatives, Biden heemseelf, and the New York Transit Authority (Both the band and the Authority)...
Then roughly 100 000 NAFO Fellas pilled in screaming bloody murder.
The US and the Biden administration had to wake up and do some damage control as fast as possible to fix that particular shitfest that it had caused themselves.
First an official comment was issued that Ukraine can do what it pleases with Russia.
Then they begged Kyiv to issue a statement stating that Jake Sullivan never said what he indeed said, against promising that Ukraine could do any divine work upon Russian oil that they wish.
So, Kyiv issued that statement.
But, to reinforce it Budanov like a machine bombed the **** this night out of yet a new refinery, just to rub it in a bit.
From a EU standpoint von der Layen called Biden and told him that the US is welcome to have opinions if and when they start pulling their weight and help Europe in the upcoming war."
