With reports that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons, U.S. intelligence officials are trying to unleash a large-scale war between ISIS and Russia.
Six U.S. intelligence and military officials told The Daily Beast on Monday they hope that what appears to be an ISIS attack on a Russian airplane, brought down on October 31 in Egypt, will force Russian President Vladimir Putin to finally take serious military action against ISIS.
The newspaper noted that U.S. intelligence and security officials are not panicking over ISIS unleashing a new round of bomb attacks on civilian airlines. What U.S. officials are concerned about is how the bombing is going to hurt Putin and potentially help the U.S. to tackle Russia’s military operation in the Middle East.
But now, according to the newspaper, U.S. intelligence and military officials have shifted their focus to the plane crash in the hopes to find evidence of an ISIS bomb. An ISIS bomb on the plane would most likely force Putin to unleash a large-scale war against the Islamists in the Middle East, whom U.S. has been trying to wipe off the face of the earth for over a year with little to no success.

This is stand up comedy from the scum at Value Walk.
I'm shocked.
Same we did with mujahideen and Soviet, These Mujahideen came back to hit us on 9/11.
Do we want Russia to nuke ISIS
Not that I would mind... I am more worried about the casual use of NUKES
Wonder if Russia has any neutron warheads in stock? I’d bet a gross or so would turn the trick...
Fuel-air bombs, for example.
He's just been playing?
I’m not certain that wiping out 30-50,000 ISIS fighters concentrated in a few places constitutes “large scale”. I’d say about 12 Bear bombers fully loaded with dumb bombs and modern targeting systems ought to take care of the problem.
I read that one fully loaded B-52 (comparable to a Bear) could completely obliterate one square mile so that two bricks wouldn’t be stuck together and no mammal larger than a field mouse could survive above ground.
When our planes return with their bombs, maybe our rules of engagement are too tight.
Not that the US military cannot get the task of taking out ISIS done, but the supposed Commander in Chief either will not or cannot bring himself to exercise his authority for that purpose.
The Current Occupant has not demonstrated ANY kind of coherent leadership capabilities, but that has not had much of an impact on the True Believers.
So in the absence of any clear leadership from the Current Occupant, world leadership defaults to the most aggressively motivated leader elsewhere, and right now, that is Vladimir Putin. What Putin wants to do, that is what will be gotten done.
Putin just won't do what he's told, and he's been told he's killing the wrong Jihadis, so many personal friends of those doing the telling.
I love FAE bombs!
All the boom for a fraction of the price.
I heard they create such a vacuum that when detonated near caves in Tora Bora they would literally suck the people out of the cave
I would pay money to see that.
Although this story isn't true, the lesson still applies: NASA spent millions of dollars creating a pen that could write upside down in space, the Russians simply brought pencils.
I figure this is a case of where Russia is going to do the most effective and inexpensive measure to get the job done the first time. Nukes that are sitting around collecting dust would be an effective, inexpensive, and conclusive measure. While nukes aren't cheap, but they are already made and just sitting in inventory which is costing them.
Has a fuel-air bomb ever been used in war?
While nukes aren’t cheap, but they are already made and just sitting in inventory which is costing them...
FIFO the inventory.
“I read that one fully loaded B-52 (comparable to a Bear) could completely obliterate one square mile so that two bricks wouldn’t be stuck together and no mammal larger than a field mouse could survive above ground.”
Joe Biden can do that with his double barrel shotgun.
“whom U.S. has been trying to wipe off the face of the earth for over a year with little to no success.”
A lot of us have serious doubts that is Obama’s goal. I think he helped get ISIS started and now is reluctant to stop it.
Yes. Russia.

More recent videos exist, of MRLS system with FAB warheads.
What? We’ve spent over a year trying to wipe out ISIS? I don’t think so.
Dear Russia, if you are going to use a nuke, but please get the biggest bang for the buck. You do not need to play by pc rules and the worst that will happen is that you will get an angry letter from the UN. So please, you will save the world a lot of future pain if you maximize the effectiveness of your nuke and use it to vaporize the barbarians little moon rock in Mecca. In fact just keep bombarding the place with nukes over and over again until it is glowing crater 300 feet deep. Perhaps only then will the future of the world not be written with misery
