Perhaps, “Russia has excellent relations with these people” is an interesting comment.
There are ethnic Russians and then the rest. Moscow and St. Petersburg thrive from the resources, both in terms of labor and men for the front, and extracted petroleum and mineral products.
From what I understand many in these regions are not happy with this arrangement. Russia takes and they get little in return.
As Russian internal security and military presence degrades in these areas we will see which of us is right
As to “Ukraine’s isis “ what does that even mean?
I believe that Russia faces less internal strif than these here unUnited States.
They don’t have a Race Baiting Industry. They put with division by the LGBTQXX Anti-Christian self-loathing mentially ill in their population.
The leader in the region now beset by terrorism is a folk hero in Dagestan, and he retired in 1860/70s after leading wars against Russia ending in them joining with his blessing.
Ukrainian ISIS - they are Contractors who carried out the Concert Attack in Moscow’s surburbs a few months ago. Some where captured and gave up their contacts. Some of these contacts have been capture by their special ops and brought back to Russia for further interrogation. At a minimum, Ukraine’s intel directorate planning, finance, and resourced that operation.
Ukrainian officials announced yet again if the battlefield truned against them they would promote terrorism inside Russia and the guy said the boilerplate routine, e.g., that Russia needs to broken up into many parts. British, the Frogs, the Polocks, the Romanians, the Lithuanians and some Americans all repeat the same stuff going back before the war.
ISIS was Obamas documented creation. Hence the C-130s with pallets of cash and even a CIA recruited Osama has-Bin Laden were in the fold.
Simply lobbing munitions into Russia isn’t enough, nor the terrorism either, for the West in it’s quest to defeat Russia as Biden says he will do (Is he an angry old man talking to his donars, or is this president already committed to a real war with Russia?) — Last Russia said they too would counter the US and the West in these various world pursuits. Last week, this week numerous times Russia has done well diplomatically and in world opinion about the whole Switzerland Photo Op for Zelinski, by speaking to the world, offering terms, and saying they are ready to talk (It is easy for Russia to offer negotiations when the West won’t, and they won’t let Ukraine either, neogitiate - and Russia can prosecute their war winning stragety).
Yesterday, they called the US Amb Moscow in on the Red Carpet, handed her a note for the president, informing the US that Russia is no longer in a state of peace. Then she was told that Russia would respond at a time and a place anywhere in the world of their choosing either indirectly through proxies like Ukraine, or by Russian hands.
This resulted in the Pentagon calling the Russian MOD. This is what you call FIRST CONTACT from the US to Russia by the Administration since Biden snubbed Putin’s letter of congratulations immediatley after the election.
Whose bluffing now as they like to say in the West in Regards to Russia.
ISIS was a US tool, it is still on the payroll, and the West has stated over and again, that Terrorism and Missiles will be on the Menu, no peace talks, and they will defeat Russia and impose regime change. Trump having a good pulse and advisors has floated a plan which Ukraine will not accept but Russia will and even should Ukraine sit down to talk, the war will continue on the ground, probably at an increased rate of combat and manuevering for land.
Absent in Trump’s proposal was a need for hositilites to cease during talks. Ukraine is being given just deserves for a country that stabbed Trump in the Back numerous times and with the Impeachment. Ukraine is screwed, blued, and tattooed no matter who is in charge, but this terrorism from Ukraine is something Russia can play too.
