SKY BREAKING - Russian media reporting a shooting in a Concert hall in Moscow. Security clearing out the premises.
This is interesting. It was an exact same thing that started the 2nd war in Chechnia? A theatre taken over and people held hostage?
Ya I understand I would assume its a solid source too I'm just highlighting that some people are saying the FT writer is untrustworthy is all. We'll see what comes of it and if the US gov make an official statement on it all.
“We do not encourage or enable attacks inside of Russia,” an NSC spokesperson told FT, while the CIA, the SBU, the HUR, and Zelenskyy’s office declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment.
Not sure of pedigree of this
if you refer to me then I am not from Baltics. But my wife is and I go there so often. I speak orcish and have travelled throughout orcostan and even lived there shortly. Back in 'normal' days. The new orc that appeared today - if its a kremlin bot who posts crap for 15 rubles to get by - all is clear with them. They live in toilet, post from toilet, and will end their life in toilet. It will be more sad that it is one of those residing here in Ireland, who will again wave their nazi flag on 8th or 9th May like last year. One of those who are super patriotic Putinlover living abroad, enjoying democracy and free speech , and for no money in the world will be moving back to their glorious nazi state ruSSia.
Looks like it could be more than one shooting. No one shot in the clip below but you can see people lying at the entrance.
Not sure of the pedigree of this:
BUT looking at alot of posts now on X about this with video etc .. It does seem to be in Crocus Mall in Krasnogorsk town of Moscow region. More reports saying the purps set the theatre on fire
Looking more likely that The FT article was exaggerating. Thankfully.
absolutely they should. And not only oil refineries. There is a military parade of 9000 soldiers planned in Moscow this year (Shoigu was bragging yesterday). Sounds like a great opportunity.
This vid shows some of the carnage .. graphic

The roof of the theatre
From two weeks ago a warning from US embassy in Moscow:
Some videos I saw of it , it would appear the death toll will be huge. 5 gun men, group of civilians screaming and pleading for their life trapped against the side of the building as they empty bullets in to them. The amount of rounds they went through for the amount of people was extra sickening
Yip .. looks like it. Vid taken from up high and at a distance. People mowed down it seems

from the ft
The US has urged Ukraine to halt attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure, warning that the drone strikes risk driving up global oil prices and provoking retaliation, according to three people familiar with the discussions.
One person said that the White House had grown increasingly frustrated by brazen Ukrainian drone attacks that have struck oil refineries, terminals, depots and storage facilities across western Russia, hurting its oil production capacity.
Washington is also concerned that if Ukraine keeps hitting Russian facilities, including many that are hundreds of miles from the border, Russia could retaliate by lashing out at energy infrastructure relied on by the west.
But thankfully Ukraine has politely refused the Biden administration’s request. Deputy PM Stefanishyna said Ukraine has told Washington that oil refineries in Russia are fully legitimate targets. “We understand the requests of American partners. But we wage war with the capabilities, resources and practices that are available to us.”
No the 2nd Chechen war was started by the false flag apartment bombings and a Chechen Islamist incursion into Dagestan, the Theater Hostage attack came a few years later
Just keep this in mind
That's not actually true though, Chechnya was invaded in Autumn 1999
Think he means the apartment bombings
To be fair Russia has a long list of enemy militant groups. It could be FSB, but could easily also be Chechens, ISIS, Syrian rebel groups, disgruntled Wagner, etc.
Yes I was referring to you. I was just trying to guess going by how you post and what you post about cos to be honest it would surprise me if you’re Irish. Your posts on all things orcean read rather more aggrieved/personal than the average poster on here - and then, I wasn’t that far off mark :)
I like that style of posting, as I can relate to it, and these are not the times to be sitting on the fence about an imperialist war of conquest in Europe anyway, imo.
It could also be any of those groups assisted covertly/inadvertently by the FSB, like CT's that Bush did 9/11 by just letting Al Qaeda have at it.
Jesus **** christ 😔
More. Graphic-
But most likely to be Putin organised.
If one wanted to be extra sneaky Putin FSB operated. These would be FSB operatives. But the dead operatives found after the firefight would be fresh patsies held alive in a van around the back till they needed to be dressed up as the operatives and left dead inside.
If there's one thing Putin excells in it's terrorism.
I hope they're not planning on blaming this on the Ukrainians. There's no way Zelensky would be involved in a terrorist attack on innocent Russian civilians.
If Putin's FSB did this of course they did this to blame Ukrainians or the Free Russia Legion.
There'd be no point in otherwise.
The election is over too so there's no point in blaming ISIS.
This happening the same day Dmitry Peskov acknowledged Russia is at war. It's not beyond the realms of possibility the FSB are behind this.
It's conceivable that Ukraine could attack a target in Moscow, but they would never go after civilians - the backlash would be huge.
A tweet I passed - "Lots of videos going around from the ISIS-K attack in Moscow today"
Is ISIS-K a new derivative? And if them, why, in Moscow???
That'd be the idea for Putin. The warped phucker still thinks he can come back from being today's Hitler.
