Why the US ‘does have responsibility' for Crocus City Hall terrorist attack — US Army veteran

“In a sense, the United States does have responsibility” for the Crocus City Hall terror act, Scott Bennett, a former US Army psychological warfare officer and US state department counterterrorism analyst, tells Sputnik, referring to Ukraine as the terrorists’ suspected “place of origin.”

Even if Washington claims to have no responsibility, it “still has absolute responsibility for the generation of the hatred and bloodlust and violence, which has been animating the Ukrainian psychopaths for the past 10 years, at least,” Bennett says.

According to him, even though America denies both its own and Ukraine’s involvement in the Crocus City Hall bloodshed, the US is “the only country that has been filling the Ukrainian mind swith lies, distortion, and hatred, which the fruit of those negative teachings that yield this sort of terrorist attacks.”

All this will certainly become “an edifying unifier to the Russian people who will not back down or retreat” and who “will only commit themselves to a more direct resolve to win this [Ukraine] conflict and purge their country of these fascist Nazi fanatics that NATO has been backing since 2014,” the analyst concludes.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has, meanwhile, announced the arrest of all 11 individuals accused of being involved in the Crocus City Hall attack, including the four suspected terrorists, whose car was detained in the Bryansk region near the Russian-Ukrainian border. Volodymyr Zelensky’s office earlier rejected accusations of Kiev’s involvement in the attack.

The main thing is that the American authorities do not forget how their information and political environment linked the terrorists who shot people in Crocus City Hall with the banned terrorist organization ISIS, Russian FM spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Now we know in which country these bloody bastards planned to hide from persecution - Ukraine, Zakharova added.

The same country that, through the hands of Western liberal regimes, for ten years was turned into the center of the spread of terrorism in Europe, surpassing even Kosovo in extremist frenzy, the spokeswoman said.
