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.”

But he can be pushed too far...and that is what I see Nato and this administration doing.

Sorry to say, I see that happening as well. It will be hell to pay when it does.

Putins showed an amazing ability to brush aside a lot that I don't believe I know any US President would do if the shoe were on the other foot and Putin was speaking against us with the same degree of vileness as our representatives and media are doing against Russia.

I know when McCain and the others supported and financed the Ukraine coup the word out early on was to blame Russia for everything...and it sure did go from there like a Tsunami.

Hard to believe that coming out of the Whitehouse that Russia would fail at getting rid of ISIS .....I don't recall Russia ever saying this when we went into Iraq.

I just can hardly believe I'm in the country of the USA....it feels and seems like some foreign nation too often!

....”The world of men have had it with the sissys and girly men....We're takin’ back what's ours”....

I, as a woman want to hear that more often these days. Obama’s surrounded by woman in High Advisory and decisive positions, thee's no balance at all and he refuses to hear our Military Leaders........get rid of the woman and we'll be a whole lot better off!

You are not. The U.S.A. died on November 6. 2012 of self inflicted wounds. It was severely wounded November 4, 2008 and lingered until November 2012. On the 6th day of November it succumbed to its wounds.You are in a geographical area that was once the U.S.A.

I understand for Russia the directive is if they're they're firing against the Syrian Army they're to be taken out. Cuts thru the confusion to be sure.

Puts our guys in a bad place IMO....

Actually this cartoon may prove a bit prophetic if Obama gets his Freak on against Israel and they attacj Iran He will order us to defend Iraq

Now I have my own “Visions” of what happens then but I would like to hear what others “see” in their minds happening if US Fighters are ordered to attack Israeli war planes...

Roll Camera...action!!

War is hell...

And if you ask for war the you have already asked to go...

You know to, Hell

Heaven, no, that is not for you, your Deity has his own I presume as My god has NEVER promised me lusts of the flesh to be part of my heavenly experience...

He will gladly take care of you all, huddle together, makes it more efficient and you all can get there faster...

OK?

No pain, no gain...

Are you man enough?

Well are you, Punk!
