Interesting, crafted propaganda painting the FSB as sacrificing heroes instead of the murderous rampagers they actually were.

Why is a British journalist, who is actually very critical of Putin's regime throughout the book, spreading "crafted propaganda"?

Anything that does not fit your agenda is "crafted propaganda".

FENTANYL?!

Yes, fentanyl. But most of the hostages could have been saved if adequate preparations had been made, e.g. by having medical teams present and informing them of what kind of stuff had been used.

The Russian state is incompetent. Is that somehow news to you? This is taken for granted by all the Russian sources that I follow.

At least it was unintentional. Remember Waco?

Russians sure are good at mass murdering the hostages they are supposed to be saving. The total disregard for human life is astounding and well-documented.

And yet the officers of the FSB were using their own bodies to protect children, at least according to that book. Very surprising to me.

And the disregard for human life is the same as in the US. Remember when your Biden ordered the murder of an Afghan family because... ISIS-K blew up American soldiers?

The USSR only won in world war 2 because it had deep enough manpower reserves to throw away millions of lives and still keep fighting thanks to US Lend Lease

LOL! WE WUZ BARBAROSSA VICTORS N SHEEEIT! Main character syndrome.

In the 0.001% chance that Ukraine actually prevails, are you going to take credit for that as well?
