"a recent investigation conducted by Novaya Gazeta, one of the few independent newspapers left in Russia, complicates this cozy tale of counterterrorist cooperation. Based on extensive fieldwork in one village in the North Caucasus, reporter Elena Milashina has concluded that the "Russian special services have controlled" the flow of jihadists into Syria, where they have lately joined up not only with ISIS but other radical Islamist factions.
In other words, Russian officials are adding to the ranks of terrorists which the Russian government has deemed a collective threat to the security and longevity of its dictatorial ally on the Mediterranean, Bashar al-Assad."
Sorry, not buying it.
Europe (and soon to be here) could have simply said “we’re not taking these invaders” and closed the door. instead, well.. see my post above.
Remember: Russia isn’t the one offering to build islamic military command centers (read: mosques) through out Europe for the invading foot soldiers.
Wow, the European version of Salon and Politico all rolled into one, oh, and a sprinkle of Rolling Stone magazine, just to round it out. I hope the paper it is printed on is at least four ply, and soft.
