Waiting for a good piece on the concert attack in Russia. A quick thought:
If IS did carry out the attack, was it because it hated the ‘Russian way of life’ and ‘Russian values’?
Russia is not run by a ‘Shi’a’ regime and ISIS-K has been killing ‘Sunnis’ in Afghanistan – bombing even mosques.
Some liberal sometime provide clues: “Michael Kugelman of the Washington-based Wilson Center said ISIS-K ‘sees Russia as being complicit in activities that regularly oppress Muslims’.
He added that the group also counts as members a number of Central Asian militants with their own grievances against Moscow.”
Think Afghanistan. Think Chechnya. Think Syria …and Russian involvement in other countries. Think Wagner.
