Do they provide you with alcohol, tobacco to carry out your duties? 🤔
Or just the firearms and you have to acquire the rest yourself? 😈

@NIH_LLAMAS
Using the getaway to cross the border is indeed stupid though — this is what I've been saying since day one. Especially doing this all together.
It doesn't look like anyone even knew what they look like, considering the version they've been wearing fake beards. They could've laid low and left Russia separately few days later — by train, this would've raised much less suspicions. They would still get vetted, but in this case at least some of them could escape.

@ThatCrazyDude They could request US help to reinforce anti-missle defense in Europe in theory, but in practice if that was possible — that would already be done.

@ThatCrazyDude
One of the rare occasion when I don't think it's one of those "EU gravely concerned". The relationship between the two states is already as bad as it can get without declaring war. What else should they respond with, start bombing Moscow? Military response wouldn't accomplish anything and yet they have to respond with something — so this is what they do 🤷

@gemlog
No explanation. Especially considering the official version they went with, ruling out ISIS involvement and in order to pin it on Ukraine, claiming that these men did it for the money. Hard to believe one is able to carry out such a massacre, killing dozens of civilians at point blank without serious ideological brainwashing.

133 according to the latest information and they have only recently put the fire out finally, they are still finding bodies under the rubble 😢

А если бы не терракт, они бы что сделали, на тот свет отправили бы коллекторов?
Нашли на чём пиариться, просто жесть какая-то 🤦

@joshef @quincypeck
OMG, they indeed are like two drops 😹

@kravietz
How do they even know the ones killed or wounded were Christians?
Only those attend rock shows or kids' dancing festivals? Russia is a multiconfessional country and it's not some religious holiday even.
Although this version makes much more sense, it still doesn't sit right with me 🤷

@kevinrothrock
Wow, that "opening" Pooteen mentioned must've been really wide — could've sucked half the Homyel in 🤪

@kravietz
> by blaming ISIS and Ukraine at the same time
We need one of those memes with two buttons.
Then the third button appears: "Painting Lukashenko's KGB as valuable ally" — and they press all three at the same time 😂

@kevinrothrock
> executing political prisoners
That's what you always do when you have 83% approval, sounds legit 😉

@neural_meduza
Современно, актуально!
Немного непатриотично конечно — но ведь это и не так явно 😏

@pyrate
Don't worry, the hypercat will stand in for you 😹

@jbenjamint
Too bad Pravyi sektor is no longer in vogue, they could've just found Dmitro Yarosh's vcard on the alleged terrorists and be done with it, but TV audience doesn't have the memory capacity to remember who that is — they had to improvise 🤷
@kevinrothrock

@jbenjamint
Pooteen has to look smarter than his underlings on TV, so he couldn't afford to tell such a sloppy story and blame Ukraine explicitly.
But as using the getaway to cross the border together (!) wasn't enough to point in the direction of those whom they wanted to pin this on — might be too hard to grasp for the average Russian state-run TV consumer, it was ultimately decided to keep them all alive so they could tell the Ukraine story in person a couple of days later.

@kevinrothrock

@rvps2001
Who cares what ISIS has to day? We all know that terrorists are not those who make demands or claim the responsibility, but those whom you are comfortable with pinning it on 🤪

@kevinrothrock The one who does this would at least be prepared that it would be rather hard to escape and it's somewhat likely he'd be killed in a shootout. And all that for 10'000 USD? And crossing the border between nations at war — yeah, that's where no one would expect them! On a fucking car? The same one they've used to escape the crime scene? No one's that insane and/or dumb

@kevinrothrock
Would make a believable story if it wasn't so poorly carried out in details. They have previously stated that one of these men agreed to do it for half a million roubles, half of which he had received as a payment to his card. Hard to imagine that someone would kill dozens of civilians without being ideologically prepared beforehand, but I might accept even that.
