    Why doesn’t it seem like a false-flag? Who could benefit from this, politically, more than Putin? Remember the Reichstag fire.

        It does if you can convince them that only giving you more power will keep them safe, unfortunately

          One minor detail, his legitimacy was not waivering at all. Its as stupid as claiming that bush did 9/11.

            9/11 did give Bush a pretext for the Patriot Act though, and his own presidency was not in question at the time.

            To be clear I don’t think that Bush did 9/11 and don’t know who did this shooting. Just pointing out that Putin absolutely can benefit from it politically.
