yet isn’t more on guard? With more security? Supposedly after Ukraine drone attack(s) on the Kremlin.
Yeah, you would have thought they'd have been on high alert just waiting for something like this to happen, with the Kremlins war on Ukraine.

So could Putin have allowed it to happen for the "look there, not here" distraction (?) Seems likely.

Probably just an old fashioned Muslim terrorist attack.
Putin either allowed it OR he's going to use it for his advantage
blaming Ukraine instead of ISIS-K.
That's my guess. (for whatever it's worth)

They are on alert but most all the attacks on the homeland have come from Ukrainian drones.

Not really because Putin was forewarned, apparently.

Yeah .. forgot about that.
So he let an ISIS-K terrorist attack happen to use for his advantage.

*: Someone in this thread used the phrase "follow the money" earlier (was it Kenzo?), but is he? Really? Where have the self-professed "truth seekers" gone? I think some of them used to be on this website. I see those who are pro-Russian government, pro-US government, or pro-some other government of their country, where are those who are healthily and justifiably skeptical of their government and its politicians (regardless of politicial party affiliation, left or right) and bureaucrats (those working for organizations like the CIA, DIA and NSA, if we use the US as an example), i.e. anti-government (their own government regardless which political party is in charge at the time, not the government of some other country or only the government when it's run by a political party or parties that is not the one they voted for)? And where are those who used to say things like "9-11 was an inside job"? (to promote and launch the so-called "War on Terror" and trample on people's privacy; oh wait, someone did mention "the surveillance state", so at least there's that)

Who Make the Decisions?
Austrian economist Schumpeter wrote: “The orientation toward war is mainly fostered by the domestic interests of ruling classes but also by the influence of all those who stand to gain individually from a war policy, whether economically or socially.” These ruling classes have been defined as “elites [that] are at all times involved in trying to manipulate other elements of the population, or the public mood itself, so as to perpetuate themselves in power.”—Why War? by Professors Nelson and Olin.
Every nation has its ruling class, even though that group may be divided into different political factions. However, many observe that the power of the military elite in every nation should not be underestimated. ...

Nationalism—The “Sacred Egoism” That Divides
Sometimes the people are not in favor of a war. On what basis, then, can the rulers most easily persuade the population to support their aims? This was the problem that faced the United States in Vietnam. So, what did the ruling elite do? Galbraith answers: “The Vietnam War produced in the United States one of the most comprehensive efforts in social conditioning [adjusting of public opinion] in modern times. Nothing was spared in the attempt to make the war seem necessary and acceptable to the American public.” And that points to the handiest tool for softening up a nation for war. What is it?
Professor Galbraith again supplies the answer: “Schools in all countries inculcate the principles of patriotism. . . . The conditioning that requires all to rally around the flag is of particular importance in winning subordination to military and foreign policy.” This systematic conditioning prevails in communist countries as it does in Western nations.
Charles Yost, a veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service and State Department, expressed it thus: “The primary cause of the insecurity of nations persists, the very attribute on which nations pride themselves most—their sovereign independence, their ‘sacred egoism,’ their insubordination to any interest broader or higher than their own.” This “sacred egoism” is summed up in divisive nationalism, in the pernicious teaching that any one nation is superior to all others.

Interesting opinion piece.
I'm not saying it's a false flag, but this person makes a good case that it could be.
Why the Moscow Terror Attack Could Be A Putin False Flag Operation
There was some former NSA person who served under Trump on fox this morning they brought up the western if it could be a false flag and she immediately answered "no" and she said ith everything's she's seen and everyone she's talked to it's without a doubt ISIS-K

One of the arrested was photographed in Crocus Concert Hall March 7 , they may had originally plan to attack March 9. But once the US and other warned about terror attack they delayed it ......then later decided to do it after the elections.

No one does. He gets manic. Just scroll past it.
So what we have is that ISIS-K hit Moscow with a terrorist attack.
And Putin may have allowed it for his own political reasons,
and he's trying to blame Ukraine.

ISIS released footage taken by their own cams during the attack.
Can see faces. Can't tell if we can match them up or not.
