Russia targeting North Caucasus jihadis linked to ISIS (Expert disputes U.S. claim)
WMD ^ | 8 Oct 2015 | F. Michael Maloof

WASHINGTON – While the United States insists that Russian airstrikes in Syria are targeting “moderate” opposition forces and not ISIS fighters, a Middle East expert claims the targets are jihadists from Russia itself, many of whom have joined various Sunni jihadi groups, including ISIS, according to a new report from Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Middle East expert Mairbek Vatchagaev told G2 Bulletin the concern for the Russian government is North Caucasus fighters in Syria returning home to continue waging jihad.

“It is unclear why Russia sat back for so long and allowed the militants in Syria to consolidate,” said Vatchagaev, of the Washington-based think-tank Jamestown Foundation. “Now, they pose a danger not only to the Russian North Caucasus, but also to areas in Central Asia adjacent to Russia.”

All the players in Syria are bad guys. Some are worse than others.

Whichever bad guys Russia bombs makes the region a better place.

Very interesting, Russia can kill these scum and the collateral will be among Syria's "Rebels" in Syria, rather than closer to home in Russian Federation territory.

For decades the Saudis have been financing Chechen Terrorist Muslims both in and outside the Russian Federation. exterminating them outside is a big plus, and not just for Russia.

Pretty amazing that once again the internet is full of praise to Putin, applauding pretty much across the board...at the same time bemoaning the lack of testicular fortitude of the so called ‘western leaders’...... Politics has hit a pretty low ebb when the powers that be can’t even win the battle for the hearts and minds of ‘their own countrymen’.......Meanwhile the Worlds Citizens celebrate a “strongman” daring to stand against these vile creatures.

Here’s a very interesting video sent to me where Putin answers a number of questions from a US journalist at the Valdai International Discussion Club, late 2014..... His response pretty much sums up what terrorists do and how they operate in Syria and other places of conflict....worth the listen because he does identify the enemy for exactly as they are....

Thank you for that link. Putin makes perfect sense. He clearly thinks the
Policies of this administration are stupid. That’s his one
mistake. The decisions are calculated with intention to weaken the US and not stupid.

Beslan wasn’t the only attack either. They have a serious problem with the Islamists.

Terrorist attacks in Russia:

I wouldn’t lose any sleep if they surrounded them all in Raqqa and gave it the Grozny treatment.

Mass Kidnappings Have Been Happening Against Christian Girls And Entire Families Have Lost Their Daughters

In a more perfect world, ALL of those responsible for the rise of these muslim terrorists (I'm lumping them all under one name) would be brought before a Nuremberg style world court.

"Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities have been murdered, subjugated, forced to emigrate and suffered grievous bodily and psychological harm, including sexual enslavement and abuse, inflicted in a deliberate and calculated manner in violation of the laws of their respective nations, the laws of war, laws and treaties forbidding crimes against humanity, and the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, signed at Paris on December 9, 1948"

Putin is an interesting character, I think he has Christian leaning and sensibilities and is decidedly against all Muslims at the end of the day. All of them collecting together for the latest “jihad” for them to hurry home to the virgins makes it easy to get a lot of roaches with a considered and diligent disinfection where they are now...

All of the soldiers, money, purpose, all fall aside as being a member is a death wish and Vlad wants you to have what you want!

I don’t know about Putin...but he does speak according to what I want to hear...unfortunately he’s definitly being ‘pushed’ time and time again...and this constant hate Russia propaganda spewing is so overdone now. ...Obamas showing he’s the punk and thug we’ve known him to be.....

I never thought I’d see the day I would be supporting Putin’s actions....nor that I’d understand his positions....not that I agree with them but when you listen to what he has to say you do ‘understand why’ he takes those positions.

However I do think the man can be pushed over the edge because there’s so much animosity spewing from media’s to keep him in check.

He’s NOT the old russia but he is a nationalist and takes his position to protect his nation no different then what we once did ours....we are not the nation we once knew....instead we are carrying the water for this NWO European idea of Utopia......and it’s a false and deceptive ideology that our kids are being brainwashed to accept.

So I also understand why people respect Putins actions. But he can be pushed too far...and that is what I see Nato and this administration doing.

...”Putin makes perfect sense”...

Pretty easy to understand where he’s coming from. NAto’s been surrounding Russia for decades now and as said planting their bases throughout the world with no regard for how it affects neighbor nations. Just a map shows who is being the agressor along with the IMF and other NWO Organizations.....and it hasn’t been Putin...he goes for where the revenue will flow diplomatically but when push comes to shove he’ll act...thus Crimea and Syria.
