Don't they have a history of claiming random attacks? Anyway, them being a US/Israel backed group doesn't make this any better.

The false flag narrative doesn't make sense either. Russia is doing well in Ukraine. The sanctions don't hurt them that much. Why on earth do they need a false flag to go into Ukraine? They are already there.

They need a false flag to go into Ukraine because that's how NATO would do it - a false flag or atrocity propaganda. Westoids are only capable of projection.

Chechnya's war gets mentioned with regards to Russia and false flags. But I'm not an expert on it so I can't comment on that.

There is a conspiracy theory claiming that apartment building bombings in 1999 were a false flag to start the second Chechnya war. This was practically immediately after Putin took power, too, so many people blame him specifically.
