I just don't put anything past what Putin will try/say.
I read his biography years ago. He's ruthless.
Agreed. The man is a sociopath.

Stop.
Just stop.
You're walls of biblical text make it hard for others to easily follow the thread.
Didn't you know???

... it's without a doubt ISIS-K
I'm about 90% thinking that' it's ISIS-K.
And about 10% thinking it's a Putin false flag.
Most likely just old fashioned Muslim terrorism.
But I'll leave the door open for a Putin hit.
It wouldn't be outside of his scope to do it.

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.

The UK can barely police the day to day issues, terrorists could easily carry out multiple terror attacks and escape for a while were it not for our intelligence services thwarting them.

As US arms manufacturers (and Western nations' military and security sectors) and those described by Schumpeter benefit and gain from a continuing war in Ukraine, and a pro-Ukraine war attitude in Russia, where neither side is looking like making any effort to actually win the war, a stalemate works just fine in dragging this out as long as you can milk it and those described by Schumpeter line their pockets with gold (not ignoring the social gain or benefit).
Israel is busy preparing the next generation of people who will look up to Hamas or terrorists to plead their case and fight for them, possibly at some point joining them in their supposedly "noble" fight for freedom against impossible odds, and get killed cause they are low level (tier 5, just like those low level ISIS terrorists who died). Can't get much money for providing security and defense of the nation if there's no threat of course, if people get tired of fighting too soon, and their hatred and resentment isn't strong enough. Divide and conquer, the name of the game. Put the thumbscrews on, that'll get them to fight back (if not right now, then in the coming years and decades, the next generation). Shoot at people trying to get some food, bomb the kids into the mold you want them to be (Rom 12:2), call them "terrorists" when talking to your own people (propaganda), catering to the crowd (2Tim 4:3,4).
As the man in the video below puts it: "The Jews are not innocent, the Christians are not innocent, the Muslims are not innocent, everybody is fighting everybody, ... everybody has blood on their hand, when does this end?" (after 3:10):

Evidently they think they have an audience. Not sure why the posts aren’t removed to prevent topic drift?

I'm still finding this very strange.
usually the islamist terrorists do this as martyrdom and kill themselves at the end or look to be killed. They all walked away.
they appear to have far better weaponry than we've seen in previous attacks. They didnt have bomb vests like we usually see.
the story that they were offered money and this is what radicalised them - normally a terrorist would say they did it for their religious beliefs.
if they were on the run in a car, surely they thought better than to use main routes to escape? how did one end up in a tree in a forest? surely they must have known they had to keep running to escape?

Details in early reporting and investigations is rarely correct.
Less so with Putin.

I don't think they'll ever release all their intelligence or a full story, especially if they want to blame Ukraine for some of it.
Within this year they'll be killed in prison so we will probably never know.
