The Moscow terror attack highlighted the proxy war being fought in Ukraine between NATO and the Russian Federation in unexpected ways.

The ‘knee jerk’ reactions of the West to blame ISIS suggests a cover story possibly being implemented that was ‘pre-planned’.

The Kremlin quickly blaming Ukraine for the carnage represents a political need ‘in-country’ to deflect blame from a conniving enemy’s success, no matter who is actually responsible for the attack.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova made the following comments, reported Russian state news agency TASS.

“The very fact that within the first 24 hours [after the attack], even before the fire was put out, the Americans started screaming that it wasn’t Ukraine, I think, is a piece of incriminating evidence. I can’t classify it otherwise; it is evidence in and of itself,” the diplomat said on air during a Sputnik radio broadcast.

“The second fact to note concerns the clamor by the US that this assuredly was the work of ISIS (former name of IS – TASS),” the spokeswoman pointed out. “Of course, the speed with which they were able to [come to such forthright conclusions] is astonishing. It took them only a few hours to get to a microphone, turn on the lights, summon the press and draw a conclusion about who is to blame for this horribly bloody terrorist attack,” Zakharova said.

“I think they’ve boxed themselves into a corner, because as soon as they started screaming that it was ISIS, all those people who work in international relations, who are political scientists and experts, recalled and reminded everyone else what ISIS really is,” the diplomat said.

“You are behind all those ISIS-type structures, you – the United States, Great Britain – yourselves brought them into being,” she concluded.
