Many of these Sunni jihadists are from Chechnya.They are the same jihadists who are causing mayhem in southern Russia. The Russians hope to slaughter as many as possible while they are overextended in Iraq. Hence the logistical and leadership support for Iraq and the common cause with Iran in Syria.
That was the strategy we had in Iraq also wasn’t it? Killing field for terrorists who flocked there?

Yes indeed. Putin can sell his planes and rent out his merc pilots to kill as many Checnyians and other Sunnis as they can.
It is a low cost way to take out Russia’s enemies and their buddies.
The Russian’s only ROE’s will be to kill any Isis bastards and those around them.
