Earlier today the Obama White House attempted to downplay any links to ISIS in relation to the recent Russian airline disaster that took place shortly after Metrojet Flight 9268 took off from Egypt last week on its way back to Russia, killing everyone on board.
For days British officials have quietly suggested foul play while U.S. officials were noticeably tight-lipped. Now some within American intelligence are voicing very similar thoughts to their British counterparts, despite the Obama White Houseâs apparent desire that no official statement on the matter be made.
As for Russiaâs Vladimir Putin, he is said to be at this very moment reviewing a myriad of counter-measure options â all of them intending to âunleash hellâ in the form of powerful military-based retribution the likes of which ISIS militants have yet to have faced.
Putin is said to have already initiated warnings to various Middle East nations of his intent while ignoring the Obama White House, though some have suggested Russian intelligence officials have been in contact with Pentagon officials directly as a sign of professional courtesy.
Apparently it is Barack Obama himself Mr. Putin has no use and even less regard, for.
One D.C. Whispers source went so far as to suggest part of the Obama administrationâs hesitation to make public statements regarding the Russian airline tragedy is based upon concerns there is a Muslim Brotherhood connection and that measures are being taken by administration officials to make certain no such connection, if in fact it exists, will become part of the investigation.
The Muslim Brotherhood is a radical and highly influential Islamic group with strong ties to the Obama White House.

“It would be interesting....”
Interesting, hell, it would be orgasmic.
Yes. Yes we are.
Have been since 2008.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

That’s some ammo box under the one he’s holding.
[Don’t know where it’s all going to go]
Read Ezekiel chapter 38.
Then read Ezekiel chapter 39 and Revelation chapters 13, 16, and 19.
And, just for kicks, toss in Zechariah chapters 12 and 14.
:)
Russians like a big military display on November 7th.
Just sayin ...
“I am not saying Obama did it, but now Putin has no choice but to go after ISIS.”
No plan survives first contact with the enemy. No doubt the Russians considered a lot of possibilities in planning, but the fact that they could not prevent the destruction of their plane, shows that it was a surprise to them.
Politically, his domestic constituents will be calling for revenge - there is an emotional need now that is pressing, and he has to be the leader. The plan was to take out the “moderates” supported by the USA first, to make it a choice between Assad or ISIS in Syria, but that may be taken over by events.
It seems that the US has suddenly dropped the so-called “moderates in the NorthWest of Syria, and is shifting support to Kurdish groups big time (shifting the SOF trainers). Also, the Russian/Iranian/Assad alliance has gotten into major gunfights with ISIS around Aleppo (Shafira) and to break the ISIS siege on Kuerwis AirBase. So the conflict may have moved to the next phase of confronting ISIS anyway, before the planned destruction of the “moderates” was complete.
Now with the destruction of this plane full of Russian civilians (relatively wealthy, relatively elite citizens of Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg), machismo demands a strong response.
I agree that this is likely to bring more Russian heat on ISIS sooner.
Will they divert assets, detracting from their strategy, or add additional assets? That will matter - we will have to see.
There is a chance however,that ISIS was bluffing when they claimed responsibility, in which case the Russian counter strike may land in an unexpected direction (Like the Muslim Brotherhood, or the Saudis).
Another plane was just destroyed over Sudan with Russian links, so this may be more than a one off, and may cause even a bigger shift in response.
Popcorn for everyone.
If he declares ML because a Republican wins, there are still enough good soldiers in our military that wouldn’t go along. We have a war coming folks.
IF true, the Russkies will no doubt unleash some damned vicious dogs of war upon the muslims. Putin could give carte blanche for his forces to be as barbaric as ISIS has been.....perhaps, more so.
You forget that Obama has purged the officer corps, mainly because they refused to go along with the homosexual agenda, and then replaced them with his own brown-nosers.
The alleged role of Saudi officials in 9-11 was also classified in the 9-11 report - on Junior's watch.
If ISIS plays their cards right, Putin may insure they not exist in 5 years.
Sometimes sh__ has a way of working itself out.
âI am not saying Obama did it, but now Putin has no choice but to go after ISIS.â
It would not surprise me if the bomb was planted by the Russian to give them an excuse.
After all they learned from the Soviets and before that the Byzantines.
If they were smart, and I’m sure they are, they’d hit ISIS during Friday “prayers”.
Which is a little too obvious, granted.
Well Fallout 4 is coming out Nov. 10th if anyone wants to be able to play whats coming in game form. Of course that assumes anyone will still be here to play it. And at the rate this is coming apart, who knows?
Putin is more than happy to blow up Russians for political expediency. (ref: the Moscow apartment bombing false flag).
He just doesn’t like it when other people blow up Russians.
Enlisted isn’t doing so well on that front either. Many of the ones left are Obama voters. My kid got out last year. That was partly why. A big part to be honest.
There are still good people. Not so many these days.
The first reaction of Obama would be to praise Islam, as a religion of peace-just like Bush did.
That is why this nation hasn't won a war since WW2.
