What looks like a bomb has gone off in the metro.
You may remember a year ago Kate visited friends in St. Petersburg. It is very “cosmopolitan” like other European cities. I’d not be shocked to learn that it was the Dutch Reformists, again.

Aha! I knew it. Kate is a Doukhobor and her trip to St. Petersburg last year was to set this whole thing up. She thirsts for the blood of the czar.
whoever they are, remember they are activists. well they could be Russian hackers.
Or it could well be the ones we are no longer allowed to talk about in Canada.
Czar Putin I has his own problems with the 7th century pedo and his followers. But don’t mention cooperating with Russia to defeat this cancer or you might be called a Putin lover.
Hmmmm….. Very curious. And Just where is Kate these days??
It was Hillary and her hit squad. It’s the Russians fault fir everything…..
The people of St Petersburg have a backbone. They can collectively remember their stand against the Nazis as though it happened yesterday.
If you’re into conspiracies, Putin did this to increase his support.
If a Chechen terrorist is responsible, this could turn out to be a much larger suicide than anticipated.
The Military-Industrial-Surveillance Complex in the US (and elsewhere) will exploit such incidents to ask for bigger budgets and more control over the law abiding population.
On relative risk:
“Forty-two thousand Russians a year are being killed by samogon, home-brewed alcohol, and other intoxicating beverages like eau de cologne, aftershave, and cleaning fluids.”*
The risk due to terrorism in Russia pales in comparison with the risk from experimenting with industrial fluids. The latter will not make headline news anywhere in the world.

“Czar Putin I has his own problems with …”
The Russians seem to have had problems with pretty much everyone in their periphery. The fault lies either with all of their neighbours or with the Russians. Who do you think is more likely the culprit?
The M103 gang?
I don’t think that followers of a philosophy that glorifies violence make good neighbours. Doesn’t matter what the philosophy is named.
“The Russians seem to have had problems with pretty much everyone in their periphery…”
Yeah. All those Polish, Baltic and Chinese terrorist attacks just keep piling up.
With VLAD in town apparently, that raised the intrigue bar just a little. Not that he would be riding the metro mind you.
A false flag, ok maybe, with what end? “How do we hang this on Trump” is a question being asked on both sides of the Atlantic I am sure…
Perhaps this will spark a typical Russian solution to the Muslim problem that all of Western society is facing today. I don’t think any leader in the West except Putin has the backbone and stamina or the power for that matter to start the massive deportations that are required to fix the problem of Islamification. And for the trolls and liberals out there that are going to try and call me on this, forget about it. You are too soft in the head to warrant any response if you are going to try and call me a ‘racist’, the very people that you are defending and allowing to infiltrate into our society are the racists. This ‘declared’ war that the Western leaders are refusing to identify is not going to end well for us. These people that are instigating this abomination on Western society do not recognize the so-called diversity of Western culture. They are not interested in peaceful co-existence. As far as they are concerned it’s their way or the highway. If you do not submit after showing them tolerance and acceptance then they will kill you, because you are inferior to them. It is a sad and unpleasant truth but it has been played out numerous times over the last 1400 years.
The risk due to terrorism in Russia pales in comparison with the risk from experimenting with industrial fluids.
Oh, well, that makes the bombing OK then.
I see the Russophobes are already on this, complete with links to left-wing news media, blame the victim BS and terror apology.
That’s a logical fallacy — known as assuming what was not said.
Relative risk is a concept some find hard to understand even if facts stare them in the eyes.

If you had a country that was surrounded by a whole bunch of nations with the word ‘stan’ at the end of them you would have a lot of problems too.

How come Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia … Japan all have problems with sweet, little, innocent Russia?
Sounds like a Middle Eastern death cult that I can’t mention or I could get M103ed.
“But don’t mention cooperating with Russia to defeat this cancer or you might be called a Putin lover.”
Yeah better don’t, Pootin is more of a threat to civilization than pisslam.
Or like isolationists love to spew:
Russians of mooselimb persuasion killing russians of non-mooselimb persuasion is none of our business.
“If you had a country that was surrounded by a whole bunch of nations with the word ‘stan’ at the end of them you would have a lot of problems too.”
Like Norwaystan, Finlandstan, Estoniastan, Latviastan, Lithuaniastan, Polandstan, Ukrainestan, Georgiastan, Japanstan?
@Colon: FYI: Japan does not have a muslim problem.
Sailed right over your head.
Russia doesn’t have a problem with any of those countries, unless they behave in a belligerent fashion, like the Ukraine tried to. The Baltics are allowing big NATO buildups, so they may be next.
Also, Russia could annex most of them and the PC west would only have a little hissy fit, maybe send over our feared trans-gendered brigades in a big…parade.
Spoken like a true Pootin fellator. For the most part you state facts and I actually agree with you, except for the “belligerent” part and except that it is a bad thing not a good thing. Russia is cancer and those unfortunate enough to border the pathologically aggressive, paranoid, drunken whore of nations continue to suffer. You keep saying it is a good thing but that just a matter of perspective. For me a good thing is that there is less russians every day because they keep drinking themselves to death or keep dieing from easily preventative diseases and even the national copulating holiday introduced by Pootin does not help. Another good thing is that the proportion of mooselimbs in russia is skyrocketing at a rate far above that in the west. We all know where it going. And that is a truly good thing because for once they will be focused on slaughtering each other and those around them will have some peace.
“Some analysts of Christianity say Orthodoxy is in many respects closer to Islam than to the Catholics,” ~ Pootin
“Islam is an outstanding element of Russia’s cultural makeup, an integral, organic part of our history,” ~ Pootin
Here’s what I know for certain … Putin’s response to this Islamic Terrorist act will not involve spray-painting a RED LINE across the entrances to Metro Stations … accompanied a really long and dreary tersely-worded condemnation.
I suppose my expectation of a muscular and meaningful Putin response makes me a Putinfile … which is ridiculous.
“Russia doesn’t have a problem with any of those countries, unless they behave in a belligerent fashion, like the Ukraine tried to. The Baltics are allowing big NATO buildups, so they may be next.”
Estonia population = 1.3 million
Russia population = 143 million
So Estonia might be belligerent towards a country with 110 times its population!
(When the USSR invaded Finland a Finn asked if the Russians had a shortage of land!)
@Colonialista: Opps, point taken.
You want to talk about scale, context and russian atrocities? You sure about that? How about centuries of Chechen persecution by russians? Long before soviet union, during and after? Talk about ethnic cleansing, mass deportations etc. How many dead during the Chechen wars? A million? The atrocities committed by russians since the breakup of soviet empire are orders of magnitude beyond anything Chechens have done to them.
Captcha: Flexible Cattle, how appropriate.
Have Russians, particularly Putin, been @$$holes to many, many people?
Yes, they have.
Does that excuse nail bombs?
No, it doesn’t.
Russia has contributed greatly to Western culture (when it wasn’t exiling or killing its intelligentsia).
Now, put your energies not into Russia’s alleged involvement with Trump but with Putin the weasel and what this attack means in the context of Islamist terrorism.
Anyone who doesn’t recognize most of these names is simply uneducated: Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Stravinsky … and that’s just the most well known of the Russian composers. Almost everyone who has watched movies has heard their music, even if they don’t know who wrote it.
“I’d not be shocked to learn that it was the Dutch Reformists, again.”
No way. Mennonites. Definitely. Check street cams for a black buggy making a getaway.
Wow.
Still clueless.
Did the US deserve the September 11th attacks because of some oil wells? Because that follows your infantile reason.
Yes, Putin is a d!ck, but Kadyrov doesn’t seem to mind him. Whither the principles?
Georgia hasn’t descended into a pit of nail-exploding violence. Poland didn’t.
Hhmmm … It’s like there are civilised forces at work.
Do Islamists NEED a reason to blow people up? Short answer: no.
