@w7voa Interesting that no other media mention any specifics about the motives or justifications by ISIS GRU GS MoD RF for this attack. The "it targeted a large gathering of Christians" is new information for me, and possible this is what triggered automatic moderation action.
PS: Threads are part of Meta, & Meta said they would prefer to remove politics from the feeds, this moderation decision fits into such context.
PS2: The "Ryazan Sugar" is a hint for those who doubt of Kremlin involvement

@koteisaev @w7voa if Russians do false flag, why not use some Muslims from Russia who'd even claim they're real ISIS? Dagestan and Chechnia and Ingushetia are salafi jihadi resorts. Central Asia is mostly Sufis

@Helgi It may depends on what groups they had at hand. Sounds like they had only that group ready to do something quickly. Whole this attack sounds also as try to distract Russians from activity of armed resistance in Belgorod and its surroundings.

@koteisaev there's even worse attack just last morning with 150 or so missiles, one of them hit huge Dnipro dam that's been built with General Electric (because the GOP love Stalin!) and Russians went to distract the world from their atrocious terrorism. With more terrorism in Moscow

@Helgi Kremlin love "multi-faceted operations" or "mnogokhodovochka".
So, it can be made for multiple goals at same time, including "represent Russia as victim of international terrorism" while Kremlin is the main control center of international terrorism, e. g. hamas, ISIS and alike, and all that other goals mentioned earlier.
Your question on why they used that group but not other one, reminds me FSB complaints I seen in media that "it is hard to work within ethnic diasporas" for them.

@Helgi The GOP seems to love not just Stalin but also Putin these days....

@koteisaev the big money! General Electrics and such companies got money, that Stalin earned by looting all grain in Ukraine and selling it, to Nazi Reich. And maybe the US has such "small government" those days they couldn't stop greedy bourgeosie from colluding with communist regimes

@Helgi Today the GOP itself colludes - being effectively on putin hook and may be even recruited.
Not think that "small government" per se was a factor. What really matters is what type of "ethics" that "small government" is charged with.
UBI would reduce need in many bureaucrats who now decide who is poor enough to get some benefits, making government really smaller.
So GOP is not for "small government" but for "billionaires pet government".
Billionaires seen soviet nomenclature as colleagues.

@koteisaev I saw similar statement in a Jack London's story somewhere, maybe about Martin Eden. The GOP, the party of millionaires shills. Woodrow Wilson was also a fan of Ku Klux Clan but I think they started building it a bit later. The whole dam project is made by some US company so Ukraine now has a genuine US powerplant!
