It certainly was ISIS

The Israeli Secret Intelligence Service

Retribution for meatgrinder nuland? Seems to me a no-brainer. Loads of Ukrainian and Russian families torn apart by this person. God knows what you have done.

The talk of ISIS over the last day reminded me of something. I remember a story about the Ukrainian Army - one of those "brave Ukrainians at the front" puff pieces - either in early '23 or late '22. In the video, people starting noticing one of the soldiers had a strange patch on the shoulder of his uniform. It was black, with Arabic language in white/silver - looked to be an ISIS patch. Went slightly viral at the time, but got quashed quickly. I think it was Richard Medhurst who also did a livestream early in the SMO, showing an article about several hundred jihadists from the 31 flavors of jihad in Idlib going to Ukraine to fight. I'll be interested to see what information stands the test of veracity over the next few days as the chaos clears.

Larry Johnson mentioned members of ISIS have been fighting in Ukraine.

He also writes the timing of the U.S. warning is very suspicious, and smells of cya.

"The State Department issued a statement within two hours of the bombing — remember, we still did not know how many attackers, what kind of weapons, how many casualties, and whether or not, they were hostages — declaring that Ukraine was not responsible for this attack. How did State Department know that? It’s strongly suggests that the United States had intelligence, which did not share with Moscow."

Or, the State Department knew that Ukraine was supporting the people who did this attack and wanted to "get in front of" the blame game, especially when it became apparent that one or more of the attackers had been captured. That the Ukraine might use Tajikistan nationals (or at least people posing as such) screams "plausible deniability" even if the rest of the world doesn't believe the "plausible" part.

I remember those ISIS/Ukraine stories, which is why I immediately was suspicious of the ISIS, ISIS, ISIS stuff.

Yes, I was never going to buy the ISIS narrative. I immediately guessed a special operations group from Ukraine..... and if tied to NATO, implicates NATO in an act of war.

If this is the Ukrainians and can be tied to the CIA, it will be catastrophic for the Biden Administration.

Even if it is, I doubt US media will report it.

I think, Cred, that at this point, the Russians will make certain assumptions and act upon them. It's high time that some of the actors causing all this mayhem get some very personal and direct payback.

I think that they will achieve certainty and then act.

Hey Cass,

Like our DOJ not enforcing US Law *[esp. the 3-letter un-accountable agencies (unless enemies against the progressive/Marxist agenda i.e. republicans)], the US established itself the perpetrator, oops I mean enforcer, of the World's Rules Based Order. Hence even if confirmed what's even a possibility of any 'enforcement'? Hope you and yours are well! (WrH)
