You know the whole anthrax crap came from Israel, at least in part.
Israel lied about seeing a transfer of anthrax take place from the Hussein regime. That propaganda was used to start the Iraq War. In truth, no transfer took place and it's highly likely that our own intelligence agencies were mailing out the stuff, or Israel was.
We kind of know this for certain because each mailing contained the same letter inside with the anthrax that said something along the lines of "Death to Israel / Death to America", but some of these envelops did not contain real anthrax. Judith Miller who was a dedicated propagandist working for the NY Times at the time received a letter, but not with anthrax in it, but the same letter.
People who were promoting the Iraq War were never threatened.
remember anthrax scare selling us into Iraq war?
same shit, they don’t change propaganda.

I don't care if people dont agree with me in that I think russia may be behind it. I stated very clearly in the original post I was speculating, and presented evidence that has only gotten much stronger since.
Usually people on patnet are good at seeing connections and discussing them. Not much of that going on here. What I think is funny is the reaction many are having because I implicated their boyfriend vladimir. Maybe they want to ride on his horse? It was caused by anything but my vladi pooh!!! Vlad is a nice guy, and wouldnt ever counter attack his aggressors during a war. No sir. Unpossible. Slurp slurp slurp.
Whether or not russia is at fault / justified / innocent for the war has no bearing here. They're at war, with ukraine, and realistically, with us. Retaliating, threatening, and attacking their opponents is not far fetched in the slightest.
I think it's almost silly to not suspect them. That doesnt mean it is them.

It could be intel agencies. I think they have motive too, just like russia does. We are at war, and this kinda stuff happens. Opponents threaten, flex on, and strike each other.
But the way you defend ole pootie pooh by saying hes the very least likely suspect just doesnt strike me as rational at all. Sounds like a position I would expect to see people take 1+ years ago, before the war started. Then it would make sense.
Well, in order, I suppose suspicion could be ranked as follows: 1. Swiss Ocatagon and Globalists/WEF 2. CIA, MI6 and Five Eyes etc. 3. Khazarian Mafia Babylonian Debt Slavers 4. Vatican and Jesuits 5.P3 Masons and Black Nobility 6. European and British Royals 7. Various psychotic 33'd degree depopulation Masons.
After eliminating all of those, one might begin to query about possible Russian influences. Happy Hunting!

The Globalists and their installed henchmen in the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC are already doing such a bang up job of destroying our country, I doubt Russia feels the need to lift a finger, except for routine spycraft, even in revenge for all of the military hardware and mercenaries to Ukraine. Russia regards the Globalists in Europe as the enemy, not the Republic per se.

Please show me where I said that, or explain how you came to the idea that I said / implied / believe that. I'm confused how people could think I hold such positions from this thread.
Here's what I think: I think if you punch someone, you can expect them to punch back, and for an ongoing exchange of punches to follow. Are we not obviously in the midst of war with russia? Is it truly so incredibly far fetched that russia would throw a punch back at us? And yes, I absolutely think we are at war with russia, albeit its a weird one where we often try to strike and oppose each other maximally while sometimes minimizing visibility/accountability of our moves.
Who threw the first punch, or who was justified in punching, or who someone wants side xyz to win is just totally irrelevant to the fact the further punches are to be expected in war. Vlad obviously isnt some little ho who will let the usa/west push him around, yet some people here oddly refuse to consider he may stand up and strike/flex/warn his opposition?
I never said putin=good or putin=bad, and frankly, IMO its just totally besides the point when considering this threads question: discussion of "was it russia?". People should always be able to discuss reality, and getting counter striked in an escalating war is very possible.
I stated why I was making fun of people: some of them seem to have a knee jerk reaction where theyve been programmed to execute Tribalism2022() routine and immediately attempt to oppose, ridicule, smear, and attack anyone who dares to say something which they perceive as being negative about dear vlad, totally missing the forest for the trees in the process by refusing to consider that punches are exchanged in war. Some of the replies are really low quality too, offering little if any justification of their view.
Russia launched dozens (hundreds?) of missiles at ukraine yesterday. Will I now be attacked for acknowledging this? Do I "hate dear vlad" for noticing that he is actually fighting in the war?

Yes, because we've been punching Russia since at least 2000. Don't you realize that?
The Skripal's were OBVIOUSLY not poisoned by Novichok but that didn't stop our propaganda. Russia didn't invade S. Ossetia or start that conflict with Georgia, but our propaganda reported that. They were actually fighting terrorists in Syria, but we were funding them. We overthrew Ukraine, they didn't have a revolution. We exited the SALT treaties, and they abandoned it because we did. THEY blew up oil supply lines going from Syria to Turkey, we encouraged it, we were stealing oil.
We've been the instigators in all this, and by "we" I mean my corrupt, criminal, government.
How has any of this bullshit helped this country in ANY way? How has it helped our allies in Europe in ANY way? As far as I'm concerned our foreign policy is run by traitors working overtime to destroy this country.
Hircus says
None of this would have happened if the US didn't overthrow Ukraine in 2014.
The ideal resolution to this conflict, and the easy resolution, is if Zelenskyy is removed from power, the oligarchs that did this to Ukraine are removed from any power, and that relations between Russia and Europe will be fostered, and NATO will be abandoned. This advantages all parties involved.
All of this would have been avoidable if NATO wasn't constantly expanded and the US puppet leadership in Ukraine just enacted the Minsk Peace Accords. All this could have been trivially avoided, but the maniacs that run the US wanted precisely this.

The lunatic sociopaths in power see this war as nothing but a win. They are either stupid, or insane - maybe both and I am fucking tired of these assholes being in power. They had to steal an election to stay in power. Clearly the population is not with them, but you strangely are. How does this help you, your family, your neighbors, anybody? Don't you have the capacity to see the big picture?
You can't recognize that the US started this conflict. It's... perplexing to me. Is it you really don't understand this, or are you deceiving people by pretending you don't understand that? 15 years ago, I thought people like you were just uneducated, but today, I suspect you're malicious and immoral.

I'm mostly indifferent about Putin. Reason is I don't think I personally know enough about geopolitics to make an decent judgement of him. My impression is I kinda like him, and view him as the underdog fighting goliath, but I know that is superficial. He seems like he loves Russia and wants to see it flourish and preserve their culture, and doesn't want to bend the knee to the mighty west. The west seems to gradually oppose him more and more starting since a bit after he took power. He seems to be trying to reassemble some of the lost soviet power, and the west seems to get scared and want to oppose him in it, and maybe even by tricking/forcing him into wars to make him look bad.
Many people on this forum surely know more about geopol than I do, but I also don't think many, or more likely any, truly know what they're talking about. It's an incredibly complicated and nuanced topic and I'm doubtful many people here or elsewhere actually have the right sources of info to come to accurate conclusions about things such as who is justified in doing xyz, what the true objectives of event abc was, what is the likely result if 123 happens, and so on. I think a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes and it influences events, but very few people are privy to this critical info that factors into the "why" certain events happen. And I think in this topic in particular, the public has very little insight into the critical behind the scenes info. And I think it's a big problem, but it's also reality. I just don't think you can expect to understand a book if every other word is blanked out. Not that I'm against people doing their best to understand, or having opinions, just saying.
So I somewhat emphasize my interests more towards tangibles.

OK, perhaps I am wrong, about you.
What is your position on the Ukrainian / Russian conflict? Do you deny that the US overthrew Ukraine? We have absolute proof which I've presented NUMEROUS times. This area is a bastion of corruption of our government, that's the ONLY reason Hunter Biden, a crack addict, and possible pedophile, would be on the BOD of Burisma.
Russia is punching back, against the United States. They are fully aware they are at war with the United States and their NATO proxies.
Our population does NOT support this war, despite the endless propaganda, which I regard as a good thing. Our propaganda system is dissolving, and thank you Mr. Trump. If the media didn't lie about Trump for 4 solid years, there would be full support for this stupid, fucking war, that is just killing people. The result is inevitable, but it will be dragged out because Russia has moved to fighting a war of attrition. I expect this war to go on for years.

This is another expensive humanitarian disaster that our "establishment" started, and it began under Obama. If we have a population that is ignorant of this, this will happen again, and again, and again - as it's happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, and Libya. If Americans refuse to accept that their leadership are complete fuckups, they will never be replaced, stopped, or held to account.
The US is the greatest danger to the world today because of this level of ignorance and incompetence(? maybe malice). We are looking at World War III. Don't you realize that?

Haha. Remember when "Russia attacked Georgia"?

People don't even know the situation because our supposed news doesn't report on anything even resembling reality.
Putin is just a Boogeyman. If he stepped down from power or died, there would be no change
The question is if Russia is acting reasonably? The US won't negotiate with Russia, they are openly trying to overthrow the Russian government, they lie constantly to us to try to justify it.. I can damned well tell the US is not acting reasonably.

The question is if Russia is acting reasonably? The US won't negotiate with Russia, they are openly trying to overthrow the Russian government, they lie constantly to us to try to justify it.. I can damned well tell the US is not acting reasonably.

Russia has nothing to gain from petty attacks like these. Sure it could have been immigrants from any nation trying to stick it to the US of A, but highly unlikely they were acting on behalf of their government if so. More likely a local disgruntled person, or somebody just messing with the system to feel a sense of power. Either way, imo the lesson from that is that who it was is irrelevant, what's relevant is that the US should spend the few $$ they don't have (but print) on their own infrastructure, beefing up security and reliability, instead of sending billions to a corrupt regime.

Probably Anarchists, or Fedarchists.
It's pretty clear they're deliberately creating an energy shortage.

I never said putin=good or putin=bad, and frankly, IMO its just totally besides the point when considering this threads question: discussion of "was it russia?". People should always be able to discuss reality, and getting counter striked in an escalating war is very possible.

I think it's odd that "ukraine" did drone strikes deep into russia a couple days later. I thought up until now, they had mostly refrained from attacking russia beyond their borders, so them doing such a move marks an escalation. Could be coincidence, but I think this might be the evolution of our weird proxy war, where we werent "officially" at war w/ russia, but in reality we are. They showed us that we can be touched deep in our mainland, so we showed them the same.
I think some months back in this year I read that there was unusual drone activity near US resources, like power plants and electric substations. Seems to me an enemy could do serious damage to us by attacking our infrastructure from within our own country. Strap a bomb to a drone and fly it into infrastructure. They dont even need to have a person nearby to visually fly it - they can easily control drones remotely via long range directed wifi or lte connection, making it really hard for their agent who places the drone on the ground to get caught.
But a bomb on a drone is more state-actor style, and obvious. This current attack was bullets, which conveniently allows the usa to blame it as a one off angry employee, even if they know it wasnt. Bullets do not force the us to declare war on russia. This attack was probably in response to something we recently did, and IMO a move like this seems like a warning designed to make us tread more carefully. A snake rattling its tail before a strike.
Of course I'm just speculating here. Sure, it could have been a disgruntled employee who knew what things to shoot at to cause a 3-5 day power outage in winter. Or maybe even a rando just shot stuff and got lucky to hit critical things. But media says the shooter knew what they were doing, although they have no suspects and no motive to report. I dont think these types of attacks are common, and the timing is very suspect IMO. They've been talking about how crazy vulnerable our electric grid is for decades now. It's a glass house.
