Would be incredibly stupid of Russians to do something like this.

Over at France24.com this is what is posted ATM:

"Two security sources said the modus operandi meant initial suspicions fell on leftist militants or environmental activists, but they said there was not yet any evidence."



> Would be incredibly stupid of Russians to do something like this.

You could say the same about shooting down a Dutch airliner.


Or using chemical weapons on UK soil. Then claiming that the agents responsible were just tourists with an admiration of the local cathedral.

Or placing coffins in front of the Eiffel tower. Or painting red hands on Jewish cult monuments.

We don't talk about nation acting rationally when their egos and pride are involved. They are effectively banned from 2024 olympics, so they do terrorist attack to sabotage it. Childish? Yes. What long term good effect for them is there? 0 nil nothing. Is this very typical of russian mentality for anybody who actually knows the country and its leadership? Absolutely, 0 doubt, yes.

Plus arrest of that drunken FSB agent in Romania who was bragging about exactly this terrorism few days ago. Also, very typical.
