Who murdered hundreds of thousands of Assyrian Christians.

If you want to go that far back, we should still be shooting Germans for war crimes from WWII.

According to this, the reason was that they were of opposing allegiances during wartime, not primarily because Assyrians were Christian. I don't know the whole story, but perhaps you don't either.

(Wouldn’t be the first time in history that Christians were hung out to dry, though.)

Yep, considering that Christians have actually fled to Kurdish protection from ISIS lately, I doubt it be an anti-Christian thing. The Kurds also weren’t the only party fighting at the time.

War, as politics, can make strange bedfellows.

The various rages of Islam ebb and flow. I don’t think the Kurds will refuse Christian help, at least while they are under ISIS pressure.

It’s an easy no. The origins of these Islamist groups are well documented - no matter what this nutty Baltic report states (and we can guess as to why they would say it).

It’s an easy no.

Only if you ignore the facts and the extreme criminality of Moscow.

FSB is shipping islamists to Syria to fight with (not against ISIS/Daesh)

Major reforms for Russia’s federal police system are planned ahead of the 2018 presidential election, according to a new report by the Kommersant newspaper. A new “State Security Ministry” will emerge on the foundations of the Federal Security Service (FSB), essentially restoring the agency to the position it enjoyed in its Soviet iteration as the KGB, says the newspaper.

The new ministry will also include the Foreign Intelligence Service and most units in the Federal Protective Service, which guards Russia’s highest ranking public officials, according to Kommersant’s sources.

The new State Security Ministry will not only investigate cases brought by the Federal Investigative Committee and the Interior Ministry, but also perform procedural oversight of these agencies. Additionally, the new ministry will be responsible for providing its own security in all law-enforcement and security agencies.

“If before we [FSB agents] only provided support for investigations, then now we’ll be tasked with managing their progress from the moment criminal charges are filed, up until the cases go to court,” a source in the Federal Security Service told Kommersant, stressing that he was talking about high-profile cases, including corruption allegations. The source also said that agents will monitor how efficiently investigators utilize the intelligence supplied to them by the State Security Ministry.
