How is Putin "threatened" by a terrorist attack? The anti-Russian propagandists are getting so desperate they don't know which way to turn. On one hand, they claim that Putin did this himself to strengthen his hand. On the other hand, he is weakened and "threatened" by not being able to prevent it. Which one is it? Reality is it's neither. It's just terrorism perpetrated by crazy homicidal fanatics. It can and does happen everywhere - in democracies, autocracies and dictatorships - and it does not really "threaten" authorities anywhere. People are not stupid - they understand that it is difficult to prevent few crazed lunatics from arming themselves and going on a murdering spree. If anything, people tend to unite in their revulsion and disgust at the perpetrators.

The Russians clearly see it.
Putin directed FSB to focus NOT on its key remit to prevent terrorist attacks but on massive disinformation campaign in US and western nations to divide western society and undermine democracy as it successfully achieved with pro-Kremlin Fico re-election in Slovakia.
Similarly, Putin sent MASSIVE 35,000 national guardsmen to curb Ukrainian resistance in occupied Donbas (Newsweek 9 January 2024). Both actions led to NO ONE PROTECTING concert venue for Russian citizens that Putin has VOWED to safeguard leading to ISIS tragic attack. Russians know the deaths were AVOIDABLE.
Expect Russian citizens by the 1000s to protest and DEMAND Putin’s resignation for his DERELICTION OF DUTY and DEMAND to “Bring them home” ( Russian forces in Ukraine and national guard) to protect Russians.
