Kremlin’s Hand Suspected in Brussels Attacks as Moscow Has Old Links With Islamist Groups

As Belgium and Europe mourned and condemned the senseless terrorism in Brussels, some officials in Moscow seem to be gloating. The first outcome of new terror attacks in the heart of Europe will be a more severe stance on the migrant crisis, a fresh debates over EU border controls, in particular those in the Schengen zone as well as a further rise of ultra-right parties in the EU countries.

The extreme right wing politicians have already seized the opportunity to push anti-Muslim sentiment and this discourse divides Europe even more. The atmosphere of fear and division will also worsen social, political and economic crises. And the EU is weakening further more.

Even before, France’s National Front got a record support in local elections in December 2015, benefiting of the November Paris attacks. In Germany, the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany party recently achieved record performances in regional elections and is currently the country’s third most popular party.

Both France and Germany will hold general elections in 2017, and the results may be influenced by the refugee crisis and the multiple terrorist attacks in European cities. The mainstream parties are under electoral pressure from their ultra-right rivals. As a result, the governments may adopt some elements of nationalist party platforms. The rising insecurity may force voters in the United Kingdom to vote for “Brexit” in the referendum this summer and to serve as a justification for a greater isolation from the EU.

Lastly, the Brussels attacks will hurt European economies. First of all tourism sector is under threat as people will be scared to travel to European popular tourism sites. The EU countries residents fear that terrorism has become a part of their daily lives, and they may avoid travelling or going to densely crowded areas, such as cafes and shopping malls.

‘Yevgeniy’, Former Russian FSB Officer: “Among those who fled to Europe there were infiltrators with fake documents and a made-up legend. They would actively infiltrate into Muslim communities. With the support of the security services, they made financial donations, thus acquiring prestige and moving up the hierarchy”.

The Kremlin’s influence also includes ISIS, according to Yevgeniy, as former officers of the Iraqi army and members of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party started creating the organisation. All of them graduated from Moscow-based institutions. The man claims that the Russian special services are involved in the creation of ISIS.

Talking about how the Kremlin could benefit from the attacks in the EU, Yevgeniy reminds that Russia is run by a former KGB officer who regards the collapse of the Soviet Union as the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe” of the 20th century and he’s trying to revive the USSR.

Anyone who takes a vague allusion by the head of Ukraine's Security Service as a fact is dumber than a post.

Especially when it come to Russia.

"This story does not compute."

Of course not. It's a lie.

That's not to say Russia is run by good guys.

But it's certain they don't support or advocate for Islamic Terrorism.

Agreed. I’m sure they would support it, if they thought they could control it...but they don’t.

Soros pushes this exact same line of reasoning on twitter and Kasich hints at following these delusions.

This article is inane. The EU coddling islam is the problem.
“Despite the terrorist attacks some Western countries don’t want to return to cooperation with Russia”, Maria Zakharova said. Here one can interpret her words in different ways…

Unexpectedly, a quick reaction to Brussels attacks was published by the press office of the Russian Union of Travel Industry: “After the terrorist attacks in Brussels, the Russians may have their tours to Europe cancelled”, Irina Turina, press secretary of the Russian Union of Travel Industry, said. “Belgium is not a top-destination, however Brussels is included in tours across Europe”, she added.

These quotations give a clear understanding that Russian officials are hostile to the EU and that they are gloating as they see Islamic extremists striking Europe.

Later, the head of Ukraine’s security service (SBU), Vasyl Hrytsak, openly blamed Russia for the bomb attacks in Brussels, the Interfax-Ukraine reported. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it is an element of Russia’s hybrid war, though they will be blaming it on ISIS“, he stated.

Russia has suffered from horrible Islamic attacks. The idea that Russia is supporting Islamic attacks is stupid.

Like the Czarist Okhrana and the USSR's KGB, Russia's current secret services, the FSB and SVR, are willing to ally with criminals and terrorists and to use terrorist methods.

Indeed, in September of 1999, the FSB planted bombs in four apartment blocks in Russia and blamed the hundreds of deaths on a Chechen warlord. This enabled the victory of a pro-war party in elections to the Duma, which was followed by the election of former KGB officer Putin to the Russian presidency and the ensuing brutal Chechen war.

Putin and the Kremlin are thus well aware of how terrorism can be used to destabilize and manipulate free societies and the governments. A weak and disordered Western Europe, without confidence in American security guarantees and its war on terror strategy, will readily turn to Russia for help.
