Well ... it didn’t seem like anyone was plotting to launch terror attacks on Russia ... but I may be wrong.
Stories like this just make my blood boil.
They knew bears were fiercer than eagles. If an Afghan Muslim had tried to knock down the Kremlin with a hijacked plane, every man in Russia would have been volunteering to kick ass in Afghanistan. America is more high minded, which in some contexts is a virtue, and in others foolishness.
Russia has no vulnerable irrational legal system that allows a ruthless culture like islam to use that system to defeat itself.
The Chechyan muslims have attempted to duplicate the American invasion, but ruthless response by Russia has neutralized the attempt.
My question is when must we begin serious resistance here in the USA?
