Putin said international terrorists had declared "a full-scale war" against Russia,

Fighting words!

Declaring "a full-scale war" against a nuclear armed and determined nation like Russia is a formula for your complete destruction.

I will not be at all be surprised if Mecca, Medina, Riyadh, and Damascus are vaporized next week.

The destruction of Saudi Arabia would be good for Russia in another way, also. Since Russia is an oil exporting nation, the temporary halt of crude oil from the former Saudi Arabian peninsula would be a great economic benefit for Russia.

And, without that meteorite to walk around for the Hajj, Islam would lose its soul.

I use the world "soul" here in a very general way.
