Michael McFaul: People Close to Kremlin Say U.S. Was Involved with Moscow Terrorist Attack; ‘That Is Tragic, Outrageous’

EXCERPT:

MCFAUL: “Well first, to start, I also — this is a horrific terrorist attack. There’s no excuse for terrorism ever. My condolences to the family and friends that lost loved ones. Second, I think it’s absolutely horrendous that Vladimir Putin, after waiting a long time, as you were just talking about, chose to insinuate that the Ukrainians were involved. And then just so you’re aware, people very close to the Kremlin are now saying very directly that we were involved, the United States. Because, of course, Ukraine and the United States are two sides of the same enemy. That is tragic, outrageous, and to the point of whether people believe it or not, I would say two things. Those that support Putin and watch his propaganda are going to believe it because they’re in that bubble and they’re there.”
