    There’s a presidential election in 5 months and Tusk is a Trump scale liar, make what you will out of this.

      Russia has been doing a lot of hybrid war shit lately, even if you disregard the civilian airliners they’ve shot down, so I find it at least plausible that they might plan things like this

    I believe they’d plan it. I don’t believe they’d go through with it. They saw the US response after 9/11, and Europe’s near ready to go anyway.

      Russia already did this but it was things like exploding batteries introduced into the system via shipping companies. Tusk makes it sound like second 9/11 to get rally around the flag effect before upcoming elections.
