Political theory/speculation on French attacks

[rhodescholar]

Given the previous history of russia, who bombed their own apartment buildings in the 1990s to justify the chechnyan war, could russia be behind these latest attacks to galvanize Western support against ISIS, thereby protecting their puppet in syria, assad?

It is just a theory, but given how russian has been propping up assad and railing at the West for doing so little to stop/degrade ISIS, and that France itself has done next to nothing against ISIS, it would seem very strange for ISIS to target there.

It WOULD make sense for Russia to do everything it can to get the West off of assad's back, and to focus everyone's attention on ISIS, I believe it is quite plausible that putin sent in fighters dressed to look/sound/smell like islamic radicals, or used ones he kept available for such an operation in France, to conduct this attack.

You got that right. If the world confirms that putin is behind these attacks, we are talking world war 3 if he refuses to step down and submit himself to the Hague for Crimes Against Humanity.

Well, Sparky if you could provide some proof of your "theory" it might help but you haven't and you look like a nut

Did they take down their own jet liner too?

I did not claim to have evidence, just a theory that seems to make sense, especially since putin has done it before and has a huge incentive to have done so again. The attacks occurred less than 24 hours ago; I'll await further analysis and reporting from the investigations.

My thread is based upon the parisian attacks, but given that putin has conducted false flag attacks previously, it is not beyond the realm of possibility.

"It is just a theory..."

Indeed, devoid of evidence, fact, and merit – whose proper venue is the CT forum.

Yeah, you do that.

Putin doesn't care about ISIS. If he was behind this he would have had them shout something about hating Assad, not supporting ISIS.
