#1 ...we will be forced to react not with diplomatic, but with military-technical methods," the Foreign Ministry statement said. It did not give specifics of what the response would entail.

#5 Methinks its dawning on PUTIN = VLADVEDEV that Russia can no longer use Radical Islam as hedge agz the US-West, China, etc. ala THE GREAT GAME OF GEOPOLITICS, and that Russia now has to focus on protecting its own butt from the very Islamist Proxies it helped empower during the Cold War + Post Cold War/9-11.

IMO THIS IS THE COVERT, PDENIABLE VLADVEDEV EQUIVALENT OF OSAMA THREATENING THE VATICAN.
