5:47 am
flee to ukraine adding, there are many questions that... need to be examined, he said attack may just be a link in an entire series of attempts by those who've been at war with russia since 2014 through the neonazi regime in kiev. putin reiterated attack is meant to so panic among russians, four gun men burst in the moscow's crokas city hall on friday and began shooting at people attending a concert. they killed nearly 140 people and injured over 180 others. 11 people, including the attackers. have been detained and are facing terrorism related charges. ukraine has denied any role in this attack. earlier in our news review program we discussed with our guests who they think is actually behind the deadly terror attack in russia and how they think russia will respond. i like to welcome our guests to
5:48 am
this program, scott ritter, former us marine intelligence officer out of bethlehem, new york, and donabar activist and commentator out of osening, new york. thank you both for being with me. i started off with scott. i mean, scott, your your assessment of the situation, you hear that those who have been uh uh arrested were tagic or aretagic. nationals and we know in the very beginning that daesh or isis had claimed the responsibility uh, but the russian government was saying that uh, it wasn't the case, or still they could not prove it one way or the other. your take on, who do you think is possibly behind this? well, first of all, we need to understand that, there's still an
5:49 am
ongoing investigation, and uh, we, it's sort of - responsible to get ahead of the investigation, but there are certain things that that jump out: one, um, if this was an isis attack, it didn't fit the modus operande of of you, previous isis actions, normally, isis terrorists are marters for their cause, and they uh, they die for their cause, they have suicide vests, they uh, they're viewing this martterdom as a path to you know heavenly reward um these are people who um sought to live uh even their uh photograph that was where they are pledging allegiance to isis with their left hand by the way which is also a red flag i would think um they show blurred faces which means they didn't want to
5:50 am
be recognized which again is departure from past practice where you know uh videos are made where they announce their intent to be marders and they were seeking escape um and escape towards ukraine which causes lot of people uh it raises lot of red flag. well don, your take on this, mean with every situation we always look at again who benefits and and who would not. and in this situation we have just seen the election re-election of uh president putin uh in a landslide in russia and also we see the uh basically as our previous guest was talking about um their um actually becoming or seemingly on the road to victory over ukraine, so in your perspective. uh now - scott said that looking at possibly us involvement or cia involvement with you, your thoughts on that, um, how likely do you see
5:51 am
that as being a possibility? you know, you go to the who benefits from the and look, and scott's right, it's it's early, this is all speculation, there's an actual investigation going on, we here in the united states aren't used to that part of it actually happening, we have pundits figure out what happened after the fact, most of whom... can't find their behind with both hands in their back pockets um the investigation uh with you doing all kinds of freensic and other uh uh peaks into their phone logs and their activities and you know all of that tracing the weaponry and things they're gonna know not only who did it but who they were in contact with and it's they promised see i think there a miscalculation here um one of the lessons of the election that just took place uh is that uh president putin's foreign policy uh visa v nato, the united states and uh ukraine, which were supposed to be
5:52 am
destroyed uh by by the uh sanctions and the war and the other efforts of the us, resonates positively with 87, 87% of the population or 8% of the voters, which means that everything that he's done up to this point with the economy, uh with the with the military, with the war, with foreign relations was ratified loudly by the people, and so the only criticism i heard, i was there as an election observer last week, the only criticism at all that i heard of of the policy of uh president putin towards that whole matter, is that they wanted him to go early, you're into donbas to to secure the people there, i won't pass judgment because he has better view of their strategic capabilities and the sit overall picture than i do from. here, but to to do this now an attempt to intimidate the population or to chip away at that 87% support, ignores the
5:53 am
nature of it, and he is now empowered with the votes of all of those people to get as aggressive as he feels he needs to to protect the people of russia, and with something like this, a strike like this in the capital, even though it wasn't in the center of moscow, it was in the city, something like this is going to require a strong uh response and he has promised one, and he promised it to all those involved. all right, and on that note, i think both of you for being with me here on this news review, scott ritter, former us marine intelligence officer, and don dabar, activists and commentator, and thank you viewers for being with us on another news review, and thank you so much for tuning into this news bulletin right here at press tv.
