    What Putin actually said in your second link is that the west was using terrorism as blackmail. Nowhere did he dismiss it.

    She explicitly said battlefield, not concert halls. Considering the US passed along intelligence to the Russians, what’s the supposed angle here? What 5D chess is the US playing? Come on, at least come up with something coherent.

    She explicitly said asymmetric warfare which means terrorism. US did not pass any concrete intelligence to Russia either. The angle here is the same as it’s always been, to try and cause civil unrest by any means necessary.

    Also, here’s Emily Harding, who is a former CIA operative within the US government-funded think tank CSIS saying: “if we find a way to make the Russian population at home understand the costs of this conflict to them in their hometowns”.

    Here’s Gen. Milley: “There should be no Russian who goes to sleep without wondering if they’re going to get their throat slit in the middle of the night,” Milley said, according to an official with knowledge of the event. “You gotta get back there, and create a campaign behind the lines.”

    The sentiment in Washington before the Moscow attack was that Russians needed to experience firsthand the impact of the war in Ukraine. This attitude intensified as US sanctions proved ineffective, Russian advancements in Ukraine quickened, and President Putin received a high level of support from the Russian population during recent elections.

    Previous attempts to make Russians understand the war’s effects included drone strikes on major city centers, attacks on infrastructure, and efforts to destabilize Russia’s economy.

    This is what your terrorist state does everywhere because your country is a plague upon humanity. This is what you’re all about https://razedbywolves.blogspot.com/2021/08/a-detailed-chronological-list-of-us_5.html?m=1
