Putin isn't is as politically correct as our politicians are.  It will be interesting to see his next move in the wake of this bombing.

I'm sure it is all just due to his incivility toward them.

They have got to level Chechnya.

Preferably with lots of nukes.  The Islamists want nukes?  Give 'em to 'em!

It's difficult for me to give a shit about Russia's Moslem problem really, even after the horror of such atrocities as Beslan:

Let Putin and Medvedev stop sending arms to Syria and stop building reactors for Iran and stop sending them 36% (or even as high as 43%)-enriched uranium (sub fuel), which can and IS being enriched to bomb-making levels, and then I'll give a damn. They make use of the worst state supporters of Islamic terrorism to screw us over strategically, but then think we should care about their northern Moslem problem? F them.

[TexasCop]

The Russians had better quit looking at our planet as a series of world powers and start looking at the new world and who our enemies truly are.  As long as we're eyeing each other with suspicion, Islamic terrorists are going to continue killing us all.

What I see IMHO, is that the terrorists are using the divide and conquer method, mercilessly pitting us against each other. However, as an American Citizen with dual citizenship, I do not mind helping our allies, who have helped us, like England, though the killing of innocents is a trajedy no matter where they are.

The Islamists aren't making Putin, the Kremlin, the GRU, etc, support Iran and Syria. That's old-time Russian expansionism and paranoia, and no one is making them be that way.

And Russia's behavior is only going to get worse in the near future, bet on it. Every time they start raking in the big bucks when the price per barrel of oil skyrockets, they immediately start plowing the money into unpleasant ways to screw with the United States.

Chechnya is a lot more complex for them to deal with than just nuking it, their whole reason for NOT doing that and for even giving a shit about it in general is that there is a large ethnic Russian population there.  If it weren't for the Russkians there, I'm sure they'd love to make it glow for a thousand years.

That's like saying we should nuke Detroit to get rid of the Somali Islamist cells there...hey, waitaminit...

And there's a downside to that somewhere?

Werrrrrll...couldn't we just use lots and lots of huge conventional bombs? Many MOABs? Why should we have to deal with the radioactivity?

Well, I guess we'd just have to do it when the winds are headed East:  the resultant weirdness would be less noticable there.

Exactly what I was thinking. Does napalm have any devastating chemical side effects, fallout, etc that would reach anyone outside of Detroit.

Napalm the muzzie bastards.

Actually, the Somalis are big in Minneapolis.

And I'm frankly surprised that the Russians, who are as paranoid about security as anyone, keep getting hit.  What that tells me is one of several things:

--We've been WAY lucky not to get hit again.
--We've got to be doing SOMETHING right.  If it's classified, fine.  I don't want to read about it in the NY Times.
--The Islamists can't reach as far and as deep as they used to.
--This is more a regional issue vis-a-vis Russia, whereas our issues are more global.

"We've been WAY lucky not to get hit again" is probably the best answer.  I think we've dodged the last couple of attempted hits - the Times Square one and the Shoe Bomber among others, primarily because of "operator error".  If those two had been more competent, and their timing just a tad different, I think the outcomes would have been quite different. 


Is it possible that Russia gets attacked because they aren't providing or following through with their promises of technology, military equipment, etc, that they have made to Iran, Syria or specific terrorist groups?

Well, ok thankyou for pointing that out to me then... Learning something new everyday is a good thing

H-5. I was just thinking the same thing.

[DumbAss Tanker]

That is a big part of it...but mainly it's just a lot easier for them to do things on the same continental landmass as the one where the terrorist center of mass is located, and in a country with a common long and largely-isolated border between the target and a lot of muj, and with that border being only roughly related to the actual ethnic distribution of both peoples.

It very definitely can happen here...it's just that there are much higher logistic hurdles to jump in order for them to do that.

I had a T-shirt with that logo on it back when I was a B-52 crew chief.  Some limp wristed liberal tried to lecture me once when I was wearing it in a store about how inappropriate the shirt was.  I believe my response to him was "piss off" or something along that line.

I think that if they ever pull that crap here rednecks will solve our Muslim problem. All the government will need to do is issue pardons.
