Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Man, Russia is nuts. I dunno where these guys got their beatings, but this seems like nothing you’d see in the US.

Also, hard to understand how they can blame Ukraine for this while none of the suspects are Ukrainian.

Presumably because they couldn't find any Ukrainians to pin the blame on.

I'm somewhat skeptical about if these people are actually responsible, since I would have thought that a properly organized terrorist would actually leave the country pretty pronto.

That, or they weren’t planning on leaving the scene of the attack, since that’s one of their primary tactics

well the police didnt even turn up for like 90 minutes apparently so maybe they gave up waiting for them to suicide by cop

Maybe ISIS claiming the attack makes that harder too?

That's starting to look weak. They're allowing reality to have an impact on decision making.

You really won't see this in the USA, because few people even reach the border. After September 11, the United States is fine with eliminating threats. For example, the United States knew about this attack for 2 weeks.

UPD: I also remind you that after September 11, the United States did not limit itself to one person but beat up an entire country

Most people involved with the sbu's sabotage and terrorism inside Russia where not Ukrainian.
