They made the mistake of being caught and now the truth will come out because they’ve all confessed (probably under threat of torture). They are Ukrainian nationals. The ISIS thing was total propaganda.

Yeah, my first thought as well, in conjunction with wondering who paid them (US or uke).

The putinistas have a hard time believing Isis could pissibly target their beloved Russia. What possible motive could the jihadi nutcases have. Russia is a friend of muslims etc etc. Well Isis is at it in Niger, and the junta there has enlisted the Russian mongoloids to help out against the jihadis. Poor old Russkies can’t win. Thought every raghead on the planet would love them after mooching Hamas. https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-793377

I see.

The Russians were influenced by the Mongols. And they are Orthodox Christians. Plus they were never influenced by the Enlightenment.

So that's why I don't view them as part of the West.

They are Ukrainian nationals.

That's a lie.

Moscow terror attack: Putin says all four gunmen held as death toll reaches 133

They're Tajik and Chechen.

The group that claimed credit for the deadly terrorist attack was an Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan called Islamic State Khorasan Province, or ISKP.

(snip)

ISKP seeks to create a caliphate across Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

>Putin could end it right now by stopping his attacks against Ukraine and pulling all his troops back to Russia.

So Ukraine can shell civilians again?

They're certainly in furious-denial mode today, aren't they?

Always great entertainment!

Never happened.

Russia's Igor Strelkov: I Am Responsible for War in Eastern Ukraine

Russian national Igor Strelkov, a former commander of pro-Moscow separatists in eastern Ukraine, has claimed personal responsibility for unleashing the conflict in which 4,300 people have been killed since April.

"I was the one who pulled the trigger of this war," Strelkov said in an interview published Thursday with Russia's Zavtra newspaper, which espouses imperialist views.

"If our unit hadn't crossed the border, everything would have fizzled out — like in [the Ukrainian city of] Kharkiv, like in Odessa," Strelkov, who uses that nom-de-guerre meaning "Shooter" to replace his last name Girkin, was quoted as saying.

"There would have been several dozen killed, burned, detained. And that would have been the end of it. But the flywheel of the war, which is continuing to this day, was spun by our unit. We mixed up all the cards on the table," he said.

Following Russia's annexation of Crimea this spring, clashes between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Moscow activists broke out in the cities of Kharkiv and Odessa, with more than 40 people killed in a fire in Odessa in early May.

Since then, the two cities have remained largely peaceful, and most of the fighting between rebels and government forces has been limited to the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

Australia is Western Civ. and “Western”.

I realize that there is still tons of fun in/on/near the Indian Subcontinent and in Africa.

It just never stops and hasn’t for ~1400 years.

Nothing is more colonalist and genocidal than Islam AFAIK.

Yes, focus only on Ukraine and leave the Russian homeland undefended and vulnerable to more ISIS attacks

Sounds like an intelligent plan
