East Europeans shocked to hear the news.

“An Élysée official said: “What is striking is that it’s not the first, this is the third war that Russia has been waging in 15 years, with Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Ukraine again in 2022.”

Given the 1997 FSB bombing
Apartments in Moscow and getting caught in Ryazan doing the same…

PLUS the minuscule probability of Ukrainian drones reaching Moscow…

*nothing* will convince me these attacks on Moscow are anything but typical Russian false flags.

After Putin's FSB blew up buildings in Moscow, pinning it on Chechens, there is no reason whatsoever to believe these attacks were the work of Ukraine.
RT @OlgaNYC1211: This drone attack on Moscow feels like something that Russia’s security services would organize, especially that it’s hitting buildings. Very familiar to FSB https://t.co/rNFFFsN3TS

Cry "Russophobia! Russophobia!" all you want. What Russia has done in Ukraine has rendered "Russophobia" a quaint and risible term. It bothers no one.

So pray, Russia, that justice be done. Or be prepared for generations of "Russophobia", shunned by the civilized world. End.

spat upon, ostracized. What saved Germans from that fate after WW2, Russians don't realize was Nürnberg. Imperfect as it was, it more or less satisfied the need for justice. And Israel got Eichmann anyway.

But without justice, Russians will be pariahs, kept out, unwanted. 4/

Russians should fear this. Vigiliante-ism will hit Russians everywhere, indiscriminately. HUR will take care of the worst perpetrators of war crimes -- the torturers, the rapists, the missile firers, and not with jail terms.

The rest of "русский мир" will be despised, 3/

The problem is, they don't know that they had better hope for trials. The legal system ultimately is to prevent the беспредел of vigilante-ism.

When you don't have rule of law, even internationally, and justice is denied and people will take it in their own hands. 2/
