ISIS threatens Russia
Ex-PH2 sends us a link to Reuters which reports that the Islamic State is calling for lone wolves to attack inside Putin’s Russia in retaliation for Russia’s actions in Syria;
Islamic State called on its group members to carry out jihad in Russia in a nine-minute YouTube video on Sunday.
“Listen Putin, we will come to Russia and will kill you at your homes … Oh Brothers, carry out jihad and kill and fight them,” a masked man driving a car in the desert yelled while wagging his finger in the last couple of minutes of the video.
The video with subtitles showed footage of armed men attacking armored vehicles and tents and collecting arms in the desert. “Breaking into a barrack of the Rejectionist military on the international road south Akashat,” read one subtitle.
According to B92, the Russians don’t seem worried;
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that this type of threats “will not affect the policy of fighting against terrorism.”
“Such threats cannot affect in any way the policy pursued by Russia and President Putin in the fight against international terrorism, which, of course, will continue in all directions,” he said, according to TASS.
Peskov advised against “overestimating the significance of such statements.”
I hope they keep poking the Bear.

I believe they may be getting close to going full retard.
I hope they keep poking the Bear, also.
After all, there are some very large and deep holes in the Siberian tundra from methane gas explosions. They could hold a lot of stuff.
Unlike our Pansy in Chief, Putin will just kill enough of them, wherever they may be hiding, in whatever country, to make them stop. I wouldn’t be messing with Russia. Or China. But, … I oh so much hope they mess with Putin.
Perhaps Daesh should remember these three before they actually do anything:
1. Lebanon
2. 1985
3. Alpha Group
Part of Jihadist mythology is that they themselves (through resistance in Afghanistan) were the main thing that brought down the Soviet Union.
“Okay, okay what is on my, how you say…agenda today.”
“Sir you have a Chechen at 230 and a Muslim at 330, then clean up for State Dinner”
“Da, da, this is good, I be feeling good, I don’t know why I be feeling so good today.”
Hey, if they want to be stupidicidal, I say let ’em.
They should’ve just kept poking King Barry. Putin will actually do something when they cross the red line.
I sure hope somebody gets some video. The Russians got style, and no love or fear of terrorists!
Pull up the easy chair, the popcorn, and the libations. I hope it’s recorded, broadcast, and re-broadcast. This is something I would pay good money to watch. Twice. And have a gigglefit each time.
As I recall back in 2002 the Russians had no problem sending in Alpha and Vega to pump in fentanyl gas to break a hostage situation in a theater (killing some of the hostages and hostage takers). I have a high index of suspicion that they would have no problem dealing with the new threats
The problem is that Putie-Pute will glass their capital city if they pull a 9/11-style attack in Moscow. One thing I have learned in all of my history classes: It’s okay to fuck with the Ruskies in the rest of the world, but get ready for pain if you fuck with the Ruskies in Ruska… I mean Russia. Hitler learned that, Napoleon learned that, the early Muslims learned that, the Mongols learned that… it’s just a thing throughout history.
Seems to me that Russia is thoroughly unpleasant as an enemy.
There was that story about Alpha in Lebanon in the 80s … seems to me that it must be mostly true since none of those people were foolish enough to mess with the Russians since then.
Not for 20 years, anyway. It wasn’t until 2006 the murders of 4 Russian embassy staffers in Iraq that another Russian diplomat was taken hostage.
Russia has been dealing with these dickheads in the Caucuses for a long time. That’s why most of them left to fight with IS. They realize that any shit they pull at home usually gets a village burnt to the ground. So they went to kill, rape and maim innocent, unarmed people.
The asshole in that video is probably already lying in pieces somewhere in the desert.
One can hope!
Our reporters were granted an audience today with President Vladimir Putin to document his response to the recent threats made by ISIS. They found Mr. Putin in his opulent Kremlin office, seated on Czar Nikolai II’s throne reading Hillary Clinton’s emails and getting his very expensive-looking shoes shined by a visibly-terrified Ukrainian. They found it difficult to avoid being distracted by the bikini-clad girls dancing on the office’s multiple stripper poles, or by the white Siberian tiger purring menacingly at Putin’s side.
The Russian president magnanimously offered his guests a lunch of beluga whale steak and stolychnaya, then had the following to say:
“Clearly these uppity muj have no idea who it is they’re fucking with. You know those air strikes I ordered in Syria? I did that for several reasons. One: killing muj is good. Two: it messes with that nancy-boy Obama. Three: it scares the Turks. Four: my Air Force hasn’t had a tune-up fight lately, and this is easy practice. But the biggest reason by far was that it amuses me.
“They don’t get it. They really haven’t been worth Russia’s notice. I hold absolute power in Russia. I’m sitting on the largest stockpile of WMDs in the History of Man. And I could give a shit what the tree huggers and potheads think about my policies.
“They are welcome to come! We’ll be waiting! And we’re gonna have us a good old-fashioned Chechen barbecue when they do!
“And speaking of Chechens, it’s 2:30, and today’s Chechen is waiting in the torture room downstairs. You gentlemen are welcome to join me if you’d like. My new custom torture room has a lot more room than the one at Lubyanka, and the staff keeps some extra Chechens handy in case I have guests.”
Perfect.
(Sigh) I guess I should have run for Prezzie this time. I know how to say “отвали и умереть”. And unlike Merkel, I do not do things with my eyes wide shut.
Here ya go, Ex. Go for it! (smile)
Update: a Russian helicopter was shot down in Syria, killing five people on board.

Not going to make Vlad a happy camper.
Oh, let them poke the bear, especially since the giant is still asleep.
To quote one of Tom Kratman’s articles, “when was the last time a largely Arab force failed to do the worst thing possible, for themselves, at the worst time possible?”
