(OPINION) The horrifying terror attack that we just witnessed in Russia is going to change everything. The Russian population is crying out for revenge, and Russian leaders seem convinced that the Ukrainians were behind the attack.
In fact, no matter how much politicians in the western world insist that “ISIS-K” was responsible, they are never going to be able to convince the Russians that it wasn’t the Ukrainians. Dozens of missiles have already been fired at cities all over Ukraine in response to the terror attack, and this is probably just the initial wave.
The Russians are going to punish the Ukrainians for what they think that they have done, and that is likely to shift public opinion in the western world regarding sending ground troops into Ukraine. Needless to say, once NATO troops are officially sent into Ukraine, we are just one step away from the unthinkable.
The attack that transpired on Friday was highly coordinated, and the men that did the shooting did not seem to care who they hit… The men, clad in camouflage and with combat vests containing dozens of spare magazines, arrived at Crocus City Hall at about 7:40 p.m. in a minivan, leaping out of the back door and heading towards the entrance with their weapons, witnesses said.
They fired directly through the glass doors of the main entrance, shooting at anyone who crossed their path. Dozens of bodies, some in pools of blood, lay motionless on the marble floors and at the main entrance. There were four shooters, and they just kept firing and firing.
Ironically, the thousands of people that were there had come to see a performance of a hit song entitled “Afraid of Nothing”…The four armed men walked calmly towards the metal detectors at Crocus City Hall, firing their automatic weapons point-blank in short bursts at terrified civilians who fell screaming in a hail off bullets.
Nearby, one witness named Natalya had just taken off her coat and was standing in line on Friday evening at the internal entrance to the 6,200-seat concert hall outside Moscow, where Soviet-era rock group “Picnic” was to perform its hit “Afraid of Nothing.”
“The shots came from behind us,” Natalya, who asked for her surname not to be used, told Reuters. In the aftermath of the attack, the Russians arrested eleven people, including all four shooters.
It appears that all four shooters were Muslim. And they were shouting Islamic slogans as they were gunning people down. So on the surface, it very much looks like an Islamic terror attack.
And it is true that “ISIS-K” immediately took responsibility, a photo of the shooters was immediately posted by “ISIS-K” after the attack, and video footage that the shooters captured during their rampage has been released by “ISIS-K”. So did ISIS-K really plan and carry out this attack? (CONTINUE)
