Why would this lady know what is going on in Putin's head. Who cares what this lady thinks. Why gloat. Its a terrible tragedy no matter what nationality you are.

[Cardinalfan]

This is the dumbest interview I've ever seen. Leave it to

[muslumkumas]

We need to ask the Americans and the British..

[materialmirage]

The comments are probably going to be turned off on this video soon.

Unbelievable biased, one sided propaganda over and over again, nothing about expressing any kind of condolences, being sorry for the loss of lives, nothing. God bless Russian people, stay strong Moscow.

[californiagirl]

Inciting WW3. Someone is poking the bear.

Hmm...fishy. looks like propaganda to me.

Whatever "the news" is telling you, assume the opposite is true.

LOL ISIS … good one America 😂😂 I swear these journalists think we’re dumb

[goobah]

Every news outletband politician should be waaaay mire open about just what interests they really represent.

[johnpaulwebb]

I asked Putin, he said "I didn't know". I see no reason why he would.

[shcitygyal]

With the level of the tragedy it’s still 3 minutes out of four just talking about how bad Putin is. Journalism is dead.

[peterwhite]

But Julia. Other stations say seven embassies alerted Russia.

[MariaElena-xrhw]

Justifying terrorist actions is the worst thing a news agency can do. Low class

[Henryk]

Man it's so sad when civilians are caught in the middle of these ridiculous killings and war. We only get one life. 😢

[blessed]

Are the shooters still on the run?? Why is this not being discussed??

[Nothingspeed]

This can happen in the USA at anytime soon.

[mpalmer]

What is Isis reason to attack civilians in Russia? This makes no sense to me!!!! Please make me understand it!!!

[victorygarden]

😂Blame it on ISIS? Questions to ask: why did spokesperson Kurby apparently issue warning a few weeks ago of future attacks in Moscow? Also somehow the USA has already declared Ukraine had nothing to do with it without thorough investigation? Its very curious don’t you think?!
