Russian TV Links Modern Warfare 2 To Russian Massacre

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may have influenced the deadly attack on Russia's busiest airport earlier this week, state run news network Russia Today suggests.

RT points out what they say are similarities between the bloody scenes depicted in the No Russian level of 2009's game with the gruesome reality of yesterday's attack at Domodedovo International Airport. Thirty-five people were killed and more than 180 injured in the terrorist attack that Russian officials say was a suicide bombing.

In the report, RT points out that the American made video game has earned more than $1 billion in sales worldwide and than you don't have to own the game to see the No Russian mission, you can also watch it on YouTube.

Walid Phares, Director of Future Terrorism Project at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, tells the news channel that terrorists may even use the game for training.

"Indeed it is a trouble to look at the game and reality," he said. "The issue is we need to know if terrorists or extremists are using these videos or DVDs or games to basically apply the model.

2. I'm guessing Russian TV is probably as reliable as Faux News is

4. Maybe if they had more TSA screeners in video games

this would have never happened.

5. Just wait, someday they will have those TSA folks checking you when you leave home

Just to make sure you are not a danger.

We already have cities getting drones to monitor the people, we already have people telling us that we should be afraid that every citizen here in the US is a potential danger (because they own guns, have bad credit, send money over seas, buy cough medicine, etc).

Somehow we have gotten to the point where we see each other as the threat and our savior is someone we have never met but carries a badge....planning an op on that later btw :)

6. Is Russia Today owned by Pravda?

If so, then that would explain things.

7. Russia is owned by the media

just like the USA. Terrorism and politics is intertwined and always about the same thing...keeping the huddled masses afraid while the elite and politicians, and their cronies rape the nation.

Until the media fairly represents the USA and every American, we need to question agendas. It makes no difference whether it be Russia, USA or any other nation. The concept is the same. It amounts to a smoke screen that benefits a few.

8. When they see that game, all of Russia will cry for war...

Oh wait...nevermind, it's just a game.
