- Gunmen stormed a concert hall in Moscow on Friday, killing at least 60 people and injuring more than 100.
- Earlier this month, the US embassy issued a security alert warning of a potential terror attack.
- Just days ago, Vladimir Putin dismissed the idea as “blackmail” from the West.

Earlier this month, the US embassy in Russia issued a security alert warning about a potential terror attack in Moscow and urged people to avoid crowds, monitor local media for updates, and be aware of surroundings.
“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” the March 7 security alert said.
Putin addressed the warnings a couple weeks later, criticizing the warning three days ago as “provocative.”

“All this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society,” Putin said, according to state media reporting on his remarks.
The US embassy issued another alert on Friday saying it was “aware” of the attack and urged Americans to avoid the area.
There’s a passage in the book ‘The Godfather’ that everyone should read and understand.
One of the most powerful Mafia families in New York rose to power because they were willing to kill people over garbage collection. All the businesses needed trash hauling, and nobody was crazy enough to risk their life to compete with murderers.
Putin wasn’t a genius who gained power through subtle moves; he was a shark who ate up anyone in his way.
It’s just business, nothing personal.
At the end, …it’s all personal.
I swear nobody got that. People say that line and I’m like ‘Well, fuck you very much if you read the book’.
Nobody read that book
Hi, I’m Nobody.
That book is fucking awesome.
Except for that subplot about that lady’s massive hooha
You know that whole thing is a Greek tragedy reference? Sonny’s massive dick comes from.the same logic Michelangelos’ David has a tiny one. There’s more to it, but it amounts to “Sonny was an animal and died like one”
Yea but I’m not talking about Sonny’s enormous bratwurst. I’m referring to the whole subplot of that chick later meeting a plastic surgeon and getting her kitty tightened.
Why are you scared to say the word “vagina”?
I don’t want to get cooties
It’s all connected. I didn’t feel like writing an essay, just pointing you in the explanations direction.

Nice to meet you Jejdj, I’m nobody
For being able to speak bullshit so fluently you think he’d be better at telling the difference, but the last couple of years have really proven otherwise.
Luckily, he could not care any less about the lives he destroys.
Russian or otherwise, they’re nothing but lambs to the slaughter to an unbridled sociopath.
Being a sociopath helps being an effective leader. And he has been an effective leader. Just that the outcomes that he wanted were unattainable by the sociopathic means he’s been using.
Highlights what a pathetic, weak little shit he truly is. Edit: it’s also telling how he assumes the warning was meant to destabilize russian society. What a scourge he has been on the world.
It also points out that his own intelligence agencies don’t have the ability to gather information as well as the Americans, nor to properly assess information they get handed to them on a silver platter.
Or if they’re like Israel, they do but the leadership rejects the warnings
Yeah there may be consequences for doing a lot of purges in a country’s intelligence apparatus.
It draws many sharp contrasts with the West.
Putin is lucky that the attack happened after the election. I think he’d have only won about eighty-one percent of the popular vote.
Isis does in fact want to destabilize your county, what a dipshit.
US being the funny but albeit rather eerie kid in the class is probably my favorite meta.
Such a reddit-tier comment
considering the energy this post brings, i think it’s fair to say it was the US government that did that part. I just expanded upon it, lol.
Pretty sure that would only be blackmail if it was Putin’s plan. Is he trying to take credit away from ISIS or was it a Freudian slip?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed US warnings about a potential terror incident in Moscow just days before gunmen attacked a concert hall in the city on Friday.
At least 40 people are dead and more than 100 are injured after multiple armed individuals stormed the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, state-run news agency TASS reported, citing Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, which called the incident a “terrorist attack.”
According to Russian state media, the unidentified gunmen were armed with assault rifles and opened fire in the lobby of the building before moving into the main concern hall, where a band was scheduled to perform.
Earlier this month, the US embassy in Russia issued a security alert warning about a potential terror attack in Moscow and urged people to avoid crowds, monitor local media for updates, and be aware of surroundings.
Though concerts were mentioned as a potential target in the US security alert, it is unclear at this time if Friday’s attack is related to the threats that Washington was tracking.
“We strongly condemn the horrendous attack carried out at a concert hall in Moscow,” Russia’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
The original article contains 404 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 52%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Why is the USA not doing the same warning message for school shootings ?
Easier to infiltrate terrorist networks – networks are, well, networks. Most school shootings are independent actors, even if radicalized online.
Now, if you’re asking about why they haven’t implemented decent gun control laws…
That makes sense.
Lonely wolf are hard to catch compared to a pack of wolves.
I seriously doubt there was any conspiracy involved in this.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if there was.
More than one person was involved in a plan to kill a bunch of people. That’s pretty clearly a conspiracy. The only thing to debate is, who’s conspiracy.
Very peculiar how people openly accept that the CIA knew, but can’t entertain the idea that they would be behind it. How else would they know?
