Yeah you right foreign agitator may do a trouble. But our Muslims know that islamists are their enemy in first place and they are not blind and see how things are going in the islamic states. They don’t want it for themselves.
And last they know that FSB will be all over you if you give them any help. So Russia is cautious but not afraid.
But, I am sure, Putin is supper worried about possible spread of the radical Muslim movement from Afghanistan into the Central Asia and Russia. ==
Russia of cause he worry about because it is his duty and he is Russian after all who loves his country and people.
Central Asia? I don’t think he worry about them at all. He worry not much of them as of Syria. He of cause may influence and invade there. But I’m sure it will be very limited. Not more than in Syria involvement considering sizes and all. Putin won’t spill Russian blood for CA sake. Here he is not different of Biden on this. If they find strength to fight he will help them. If not then he just washes his hands on it.
Again Taliban in CA may bring some pluses for Russia. It will spoil China interests there. Which is good)))..
I just remembered, some Middle Eastern friend told me, that the most scary radical Muslims are the Chechens. ISIS had a lot of Chechens and other Russians as members. As a matter of fact, ISIS military leader was Chechen.
Its not.
Trump's observation that the US defends Germany from Russia is valid, but that doesn't give the US veto power over German energy policy.
Besides, Merkel and Putin are both consenting adults and if Merkel wants Putin to lay some pipe for her, well...
Chechen scary? Why Chechen singled out? In recent Chechen wars despite of this name we fought not with Chechen particularly but with Wahhabis islamists. Yes Chechens were biggest part of those islamists but not all. And many moderate Chechen fought on government side against islamists. Like father of today head of Chechnya Kadyrov. He was moderate islamic cleric so was a mortal enemy of those islamists. They killed him by bomb but his son now rules a modern Chechnya.
When there was a recent war on Caucasus our speznaz had been beating a those Wahhabis all the time. They were good in taking hostages and planting bombs and in ambushes but in the real fight with soldiers they were always beaten. And Chechen moderates fought good in the militia and Russian army. SO Wahhabis ran away out of Caucasus into western Europe and establish their order there)))... Which is funny but God justice on those who supported then in fight with Russia.
So they are just people you should not trust blindly but if you cautious and you will be ok.
