There was a series of bombings in September of 1999, officially blamed on Islamic Extremism that swept Vladimir Putin to power, increased state surveillance and justified a war. Sound like something that happened in America two years later almost to a day?
I didn’t know about this until a few days ago but apparently it was a pretty big deal in Russia for a long time, and there is a lot of “parallel” evidence that Russian intelligence was behind it, and apparently the guy who Putin allegedly whacked with the radiation poisoning held that view.
Interesting stuff and I think it casts a lot of doubt on the theory that Putin is some kind of hero.
