What is going on, are they just doing this to muddy the water? I can't imagine ISIS is actually planning attacks on European soil that makes 0 sense.

I think they may fear Russian retaliation for the recent attacks, or, far more likely are trying to get the populace to think that Russia will attack them senselessly as "revenge" or something. Hopefully we don't see any sort of false flag used to escalate the Ukraine war. That's where my mind is going with this.

It's theater. They have to play along with the bullshit narrative they are trying to construct about the Moscow terrorist attack.

What do you mean when you say “you can’t imagine ISIS planning attacks on European soil?” That is their absolute bread and butter, do you not remember the various bombings and shootings that killed hundreds of people? The Paris shooting, the Brussels bombing, the Nice shooting, the London bombing, the Manchester Stadium bombing, etc.

There have been dozens of attacks in the last 10 years.

ISIS, a violent deranged religious fundamentalist organization, is doing random violence for the sake of it, how can this be? soviet-hmm

This community's reaction to this latest attack has been weird as fuck tbh.

Honestly I think it’s because everyone expected it to be Ukraine, and having ISIS or Chechens appear was absolutely not anticipated at all by anyone.

It might be reasonable to say that Ukraine had no part in this and ISIS saw a target of opportunity while Russia was distracted, and that’s something that no one expected.

I don't mean that it's impossible but the timing seems weird. Western media is still running with ISIS, which isn't impossible but if they are responsible it seems very likely that they were backed by the US. So why would they decide to carry out attacks in Europe now? I don't see how that would serve their interests, although I guess the same is the case for previous attacks on European soil. Still, given how ISIS is pretty much gone at this point and is likely dependent on CIA/Mossad backing would they be allowed to carry out attacks in Europe? Maybe I'm missing something tho, this whole ISIS thing is admittedly breaking my brain so if you can make sense of it I'm happy to listen.

As someone living in large metropolitan areas visiting EU HQ districts quite often I can't say I'm that much at ease on the train, subways etc. Like, a month or two ago a (lone wolf) attack happened in Brussels, killing two random tourists.

ISIS = Mossad

All eyes on Rafah, I have a feeling these attacks will serve as distractions from something much worse.
