Putin Orders Hit on Russian School

Reporting from NPR, “A gunman killed 13 people, including seven children, and wounded 21 other people in a school in central Russia on Monday, authorities said. … According to the Investigative Committee, the gunman wore a black t-shirt with ‘Nazi symbols.’ No other details about the shooter or his motives have been released.” This was a Putin-ordered hit job to detract from his losing war on Ukraine. How convenient that a country with virtually no guns suddenly suffers one of its worst school shootings perpetrated by — wait for it, wait for it — a “suspect” wearing a Nazi symbol. How serendipitous for a leader who is supposedly fighting Nazis in Ukraine. Clearly, Putin demanded this tragedy to get people to focus on anything other than his disastrous war and fleeing citizens. So predictable.
