Russian Bombings

I've got it figured out.

Putin had the KGB set off those bombs which no group has claimed responsibility for.
Why?
So any country pulling out of his Olympics to protest his anti-queer laws, will be accused of being soft on, and aquesing to, terrorism.
You heard it here first.

Governments gotta control. Putin's agenda goes beyond the Olympics.

Too much press is only assuming this is somehow related to the Olympics located far away. It characterized terror done best during a major Russian holiday - New Years. When most people are traveling. And by terrorist found in hot spots located nearby in an adjacent republic.

Dagestan and Chechnya have too much security. Volgograd Oblast is an adjacent and softer target.
