(2,103 posts)Russia's security agencies will undoubtedly look into a video released on Thursday by Islamic State that threatens attacks in Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
"I do not know the authenticity of this video, I do not know the authenticity of these sources, but in any case no doubt this will be material for review by our special (security) services," Peskov told journalists on a conference call.

(1,333 posts)The state dept and Reuters/AP?BBC etc, Russia is barely attacking ISIS. Russia doesn't even care about ISIS, all they want is to prop Assad up like doing that doesn't including taking care of ISIS.
But we can see from the bombing of the passenger plane and this threat, they are doing serious damage to ISIS/terrorist rebels in Syria.

But apparently Russia hasn't been attacking Isis, therefore they have angered Isis and deserve to be attacked by Isis, or some such upside down logic.

ISIS is also my #1 non-nation terrorist choice for the kind of attack on the U.S. that could get us out of their way for quite some time.
Putin and Assad don't mind if their people live as long as they don't cross them, and would rather maintain lucrative business ties than not.
