We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Nope russian kids getting killed has to do with putin wanted to russify its citizens and kill any sub ethnicity and 911 was the smartest target for a terror attack history will probably ever see (hitting the financhial center was sending a message about the us dollars global domination through the federal reserve) this resulted in the war on terror which was an excuse to implement the patriot act (if ive ever heard a bill with a name designed so u cant campaign against it the patriot act is probably the best one yet) which was used to take away the citizens privacy in the name of think of the terrorists.

Terror attacks are exactly that attacks of terror designed to induce terror nothing less nothing more the deaths are pretty negligable in the scheme of things. Terror attacks often end up being very usfull politically to quickly move a bill through to oppress people in the name of security (hence the 911 was planned conspiracy theoryies, i wouldnt be suprised if it was tbh). This is why terror attacks in russia are good cos putin will overreact tightening the noose on the russian populus people will suffer (thats the plan at least) and it will drive civil unrest reducing their war effort.
