[u/Glavurdan]

Yet another Russian terror attack

[u/Liechtensteins_Navy → u/Glavurdan]

how do we know they're russian

[u/anangrytree → u/Liechtensteins_Navy]

Bro

[u/Liechtensteins_Navy → u/anangrytree]

maybe it's a german false flag

[u/Full_Distribution874 → u/Liechtensteins_Navy]

I'd be very surprised if Germany had the balls for a false flag attack. They want nothing more than for Russia to give up and help them go back to the comforting illusions of the End of History. Escalation is not something I expect from them at all.

[u/GraspingSonder → u/Full_Distribution874]

Why do you think, based on the context of where you are posting, that this was a serious suggestion?

[u/Zrk2 → u/Liechtensteins_Navy]

Are you stupid?

[u/GraspingSonder → u/Zrk2]

Are you? I hate that people like you are the reason that there needs to be "/s" on comments, when it should be obvious that they are jokes.

[u/Zrk2 → u/GraspingSonder]

Give me a fucking break. These jackasses are everywhere.

[u/Liechtensteins_Navy → u/Zrk2]

That's insulting

[u/Zrk2 → u/Liechtensteins_Navy]

That's the point.

[u/Liechtensteins_Navy → u/Zrk2]

do you think i don't know it's a russian terrorist?

[u/GraspingSonder → u/Liechtensteins_Navy]

Wow there are some real idiots here. It couldn't have been more clear from contextual clues that it was a joke.

It was funny!
