Russian investigators implicated Ukrainian nationalists were tied to the attack on a concert hall near Moscow claimed by ISIS-K, but the US says it is “nonsense propaganda.”
The United States on Thursday branded Russian officials “pretty good manure salesmen” after Moscow sought to link the attack on the Crocus City Hall music venue to “Ukrainian nationalists.”
“My uncle used to say that the best manure salesmen often carry their samples in their mouths. Russian officials seem to be pretty good manure salesmen,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
His remarks come after Russian investigators said they had evidence linking “Ukrainian nationalists” to last week’s attack on the concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow in which at least 143 people were killed.
That is certainly creative
I feel bad for any translators that had to translate that in real time
Sounds like a Russian swear word translated to begin with?
yeah it almost sounds like a bit of Russian wisdom
I’m pretty sure he’s just using polite words to say he’s a bullshit salesman, which is a standard english thing to say
TIL, and they also reference the samples in the mouth
Sounds a little System of a Down-y.
Would’ve loved to see it.
It’s heading for Chinese government levels of creative insult.
After listening to this guy defend gencide for 5 months, I believe he knows his (bull) shit
Putin’s response: “Mist”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The United States on Thursday branded Russian officials “pretty good manure salesmen” after Moscow sought to link the attack on the Crocus City Hall music venue to “Ukrainian nationalists.”
Russian officials seem to be pretty good manure salesmen," White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
His remarks come after Russian investigators said they had evidence linking “Ukrainian nationalists” to last week’s attack on the concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow in which at least 143 people were killed.
“As a result of working with detained terrorists, studying the technical devices seized from them, and analyzing information about financial transactions, evidence was obtained of their connection with Ukrainian nationalists,” the Russian Investigative Committee said.
Last Friday’s attack has been claimed by the ISIS-K terror group, an offshoot of the self-styled “Islamic State” based in Afghanistan, which has also released videos on its propaganda channels seeming to show perpetrators in the act.
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that “radical Islamists” had been behind the attack but repeated his accusation that Ukraine could have played a role — despite strong denials from Kyiv.

It was not only Ukrainian nationalists, but backed by the US and UK too.
(France is sad btw)
I don’t really know why I’m being downvoted. I suppose it’s because I’m suggesting that France is sad for being left out of the made up story by the Kremlin. You guys are weird.

Fucc off right back illiterate, uh, whatever you are.
Learn to interpret the little signs on the screen (takes a bit of practice) and jump back in. I’ll just write this off as an accidental misread.
Edit: also I downvoted you. I never do that, but I made an exception.
Lol, great comeback. Keep earning those rubles.
