US & NATO Issue Rare ‘Solidarity’ Messages After Moscow Attack As Death Toll Rises To 137; Bizarre Terrorist ‘Confessions’ Emerge
Russian state media has underscored that “partners and geopolitical rivals alike have joined the chorus expressing horror in the wake of the Crocus City Hall attack.” This has somewhat surprisingly included a statement of solidarity from Washington, as the death toll has has risen to 137 killed. “The United States strongly condemns yesterday’s deadly terrorist attack in Moscow,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a Saturday statement. “We condemn terrorism in all its forms and stand in solidarity with the people of Russia in grieving the loss of life from this horrific event.”
First Nordstream and now Moscow … poking The Bear to draw retaliation and achieve the objective of conflict escalation.
I don’t believe attacks on Russia are designed to draw a retaliatory response. I think, rather, the purpose is to drive Russia to the negotiating table. It’s now clear to all that Russia can take as much territory as it wishes in Ukraine. Moscow is prepared to dictate the terms for ending its Special Military Operation. This is unacceptable to NATO. In fact, it scares the hell out of them. Attacking their homeland is a message. Stop where you are or pay a heavy price. It won’t work.
