The Russians are usually quite heavy-handed with this sort of thing, so expect some repercussions against whoever they deem responsible.

RIP to the victims.

[Blib]

Chechens usually receive a kicking after an incident such as this.

Trouble ahead here.

Friend of mine is there right this second, her driver was injured. Says it's astonishingly calm.

[The jiffle king]

Thoughts are with the families. I know a fair few people in Moscow and I hope they are all safe. The Russians will tighten things up now and go after those responsible.

This - Putin won't stand for this nonsense in his back yard and will unleash the hounds I suspect.

Don't fk with the Russians, they're not as restrained as us.

Being the political dunderhead that I am, who currently are the likely culprits of such an act against the Russians?

Nothing to do with the likes of Bill Naden / Muslim extremists etc then? (I admit, I'm hopeless with this kinda thing).

Absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if there were retaliatory attacks against somebody within 24h, proof or not.

Unlikely - they're not stupid enough to take on the Russian Bear because they know Putin won't take it.

But they are dumb enough to take on the US??????

I don't think they give a st about who they anger.

I don't think they give a st about who they ps off.

If they had flown planes into the winter palace in Moscow, I imagine that the Russian retaliation would have been far, far worse than a simple invasion of Afghanistan. None of this "avoid shooting civiliians" rules that the USA / UK carry out.

Dagestan was where the last lot came from.
