The country that is promoting Trump is the same one that is plotting a terrorist attack against America?

Well, he is too, so it tracks.

Surprising

A russian attack on US civial aviation would remove all brakes on ukrainian aid. They would not even allowed from then on to strike deep into russian territory, it would be a auto subscription to the Best-Daily-Targets-Newsletter by every 3Letter-Agency in the US. How stupid can Putin be?

I have no English sources on hand, but there have been multiple parcels found across Europe that contained firebombs. In one case, the bomb didn’t go off mid-flight because the flight was delayed.

The heads of German intelligence agencies had their annual public hearing recently, making it very clear that Russia considers Germany an enemy. As far as I can tell, the response by our senior political figures has been deafening silence and inaction.

So Putin is not stupid at all. He is just counting on the continued indecisiveness of most western leaders.

Stupid or smart enough to know that if he does it under Trump, he’ll get away with it?

He gets rewarded for it as it gets pinned on Ukraine somehow. Or Mexico I guess.

I mean, ok, what do they want us to do with that information today. The world is going to end tomorrow. This could have been usefull news to have broken, say, last month when it could have swung the needle from putin dicksucker trump. Today it's mania inducing, and that's never smart in a country with 350 million firearms in civilian circulation.

One day, in the future, the people who live where Russia is now will look back at the history of Russia and say “Ha, wow, what a bunch of stupid inbred alcoholics. Thank goodness Putin forgot to reinstall the window of his last victim.”

These kinds of attacks will become more common since the zio terrorist attack on Lebanon broke the seal.
