The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

        Shame that the FSB doesn’t have better intel on what’s happening in Russia than the CIA.

        Perhaps they were too busy tracking the gays after Russia recently labelled the LGBT+ movement terrorists. Perhaps they were tired after ensuring Putin won a sufficient margin against the communists. Or maybe some kid posted a meme on tiktok and they got distracted.

          We’re talking about the same CIA that failed to assassinate Castro… How many was it? Anyway, do tell me more about your contacts in the FSB…

              Hmm?

              I think it’s pretty clear that intel for the initially planned Crocus attack was well known. For some odd reason, that I couldn’t possibly fathom, the terrorists decided to call it off and do it another day. The initially planned dates had a more popular concert IIRC, so it would’ve been a better target.
