>>For some reason, the Russkis seem to have a handle on dealing with terrorists.
Personally, I think it is because they had a hand in organizing, funding, and training so many of them during the Cold War. We should probably be taking notes..<<
Russians were never near behind sunni terrorists attacking the west in the last decades.
They are simply longer in business and somehow more experienced.
They had their Carter moment with Tehran embassy raided and ambassador killed too, but it was in earlier 19th century.
Russian approach to muslim issues were shaped about that time, long before any political correctness, humanitarianism and collateral damage terms were invented.
Mostly I meant that the Russian know how to deal with cunning, murderous brutes, having previously manipulated and used them against the West.
The Russians are smart enough to not worry about whether or not these people, and those they claim to represent, like them; instead they just make sure these people develop an abject terror of them. That is an example I think we should follow.
