 File under: Islamic State 

#1 The key to dealing with Islamic terrorism is retaliation. Russians should identify the perps and exterminate their families.

#2 Putin 'dismissed US warnings about a terror attack' three days before Moscow massacre and shrugged off American embassy's warning to avoid concert venues

#4 This creates a dilemma for the "Russia Russia, Russia" crowd. You either unequivocally condemn terrorism or you condone terrorism when it aligns with your goals.

Many Americans who still have anger over 9/11 are certainly feeling empathy for the Russians after this attack.

It's going to make smoke come out of the ears of "That's not who we are 'republicans.'"

#5 ^ Interesting observation Merc.

#6 I should have added, I'm one of those Americans feeling empathy for Russians today. We have a common enemy in the muzzists and we should have been fighting against them together for the last 30+ years instead of taking turns trying to mold them into reliable proxies against each other.

#7 Reminded me immediately of Beslan, which was awful.

#8 It will be interesting to see how many of the ISIS-K terrorists involved in the Moscow attack were released from the Bagram Prison when we popped smoke and left. Likely several were either planners or on the ops side.

#9 There is video out. Not going to link it. Its what you think it is.

Its what we should be fighting.

#10 Russians went medieval on the Chechens for this sort of thing. ISIS can probably expect the same.

#11 The friends of Biden's Newsomers have a bloodbath.

#12 are the kick backs from a 750 million dollar cement company fine and a no bid contract for the worlds largest cement coffin worth it ?

#13 From Skidmarks’s Daily Mail link: 11 arrested, four named arrested/hunted are Tajiks. 115 now dead.

The Russians are questioning those already caught, and hunting more. Good hunting, guys.

#14 Say what you will about Putin. You don't need to harbor any illusions about him. But there might also be something to be said for having a guy like that as a friend instead of an enemy, especially when we have common enemies like ISIS.

#15 ^Ever thought who's the main beneficiary of USA/Russia conflict?
Hint, it's not the EUers - regardless of that the later think.

#16 The count is up to 130, as of this morning. Attacking music festivals is becoming a trend. First Hamas and now ISIS. The only think in common with the attacks, other than slaughtering innocent music lovers, is Islam. Time to drive Islam back into non existence. For those that say they have peaceful islamic friends and its not fair, I say get your house in order. Until then, extinction is the only answer.

#17 I wonder when upgrades occur such as Nano-thermite or super-thermite weapons. Fewer people needed. Anything is possible these days.

#18 Has AI reached the point of re-creating certain people?

I'm thinking of Ghengis Kahn, Charles Martel, Vlad Tepes, and a few others.

#19 Re #13: questioning those suspects? IIRC, the Russians are not squeamish about using"enhanced" interrogation methods as we are. Plus, anybody who tries to defend them is likely to get the same treatment.

#20 Pravda and a couple of other Russian news outlets are now saying that Ukraine is possibly complicent in this.

To me it sounds more like an Al Quaida/ISIS/Hamas thing, going after civilians specifically, and not something the Ukrainians or Russians would do.

The Kremlin will use this to justify a huge mobilization that they've already planned for, though.

#21 #21 The Kremlin will use this to justify a huge mobilization that they've already planned for, though.

Additional mobilization already was announced a day or so before this attack. And several articles have been published about how Kurd and Syrian fighters were being recruited by the Ukrainian special servcies. With receipts.
