If they ignored warnings from even relatively friendly states then I find it difficult to see the whole thing as something other than sacrificing some of their own people so they could wring some propaganda out of the event to shore up support for their war. When it first happened and they tried to lay the blame on Ukraine I figured it was more a case of, "Never let a serious crisis go to waste," but it really seems like they knew it was coming and allowed it to happen.
Stalin famously ignored reports that Hitler was getting ready to invade.
Bush Jr. had a report stating that bin Ladn was planning an attack in America months before 9/11.
Maybe it's like you said, and maybe they had increased security and it failed.
Same can be said for 10/7. The border guards weren’t there coincidentally
