The ISIS news agency has published a video shot by the terrorists who attacked Crocus City Hall.

In the one-and-a-half-minute video, shot in first-person, the terrorists shoot Crocus visitors at point-blank range, slit the throat of one of the victims and shout Islamist slogans, including "Allahu akbar," into the camera

You totally misunderstood my sentence and I’m not sure how given the context. I was pointing out Putin and the Taliban are the BFF’s. ISIS is pissed at Putin for backing the Taliban in Afghanistan and also his support of Assad in Syria. ISIS sees Syria and Afghanistan as territories they should control and Putin has interfered by supporting the Taliban.

ISIS declared Putin an enemy years ago for meddling in their regional power struggles

Oh, I apologize.

ISIS supposedly released footage from attack

Shit that's a tough watch. While I'm still skeptic of foreign involvement/knowledge such as the group getting past the Ukrainian border, it at least bats down a lot of schizoposting in this thread. Was absolutely an Islamic terror cell at this point.
Super sad situation, gruesome watch.

Edit to add: in the video above, I didn't hear the word "Dawlat."

Whether it's actually ISIS or not probably doesn't matter, obviously. Just something to note.

Amaq is ISIS though. And the fact that they have the video means that they specifically sent it in to them to publish.

Incredible take there, super insightful.
Personally, I think since the Chinese in the 9th century invented gun powder, we should just blame them for every death of every person ever shot ever at all & level China, right now, into the sea as retribution.

Unrelated- Taiwan supremacy .

Gunpowder isn't a sentient organization you can give orders to and send John McCain to go visit. Nice analogy stupid.

You did it to the Japanese and Vietnamese too! Like the sideways pussy

Just more overwhelming proof that it was ISIS and not some slavs wearing fake beards like some skitzos online have been saying.

To this day I question why Russia's solution to its muslim demographic problem is to invade its christian neighbors rather than violent solutions to their own muslim problem.
Instead Putin pays lip service to the same minorities plotting to slit Russian throats

 

[mlanguishi]

Everyone that said this was a non jihadist attack, especially with those throat cuts needs shame, shame, eternal shame.

 

[cybertoaster]

As of late, Ukrainian-backed Russian rebels

I been hearing about those but very little about what their objective is really, get rid of putin to get a western-ish democracy? or are they one of those other minorities who want to get out of the federation?

the Russian oligarchs that but because there's a bunch of Natural Resources they still needed those parts if they wanted to keep their Mercedes Benz. Then from 2000 to 2010 there was a massive anti-immigrant movement but all of those people were jailed

So same shit as over here then.

They are an absolute meme. According to statements by Ukrainian officials, they are a military unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine formed from Russian prisoners of war and Russian volunteers who fight on Ukraine's side since March 2022. By its own statements, the Legion consists of two battalions. So, their objective is to make sure Ukraine defeats Russia in this war and eventually "March on Moscow".

as it turns out Putin is an even bigger diversity cuck than our own "leaders"

This is a Kafka trap. Had Putin immediately invaded in 2014 and deposed Poroshenko by force you'd be crying about muh democratic society being under the boot of big bad Vlad. There's no way to win in your worldview.

Fist off I'd like to note that you didn't bother disputing the numbers and thus that you accept that the SMO has led to more civilian deaths than the frozen conflict and that most of the civilian casualties are on the ukie side.
So at this point there isn't really anything left of your original claim that the Russians are conducting this war taking every measure they can to avoid civilian casualties.You also don't dispute that Putin's bleeding heart for the Donbas civilians only came with the invasion.
You can cherry pick what parts of my post you respond to all you want. But the parts you don't answer says a lot more than the bit you do.
That being said in the 8 years Putin has had the all the time in the world to try and settle things by any other means than starting a war. It isn't about when, it is about how. Causing over 10k civilian deaths to stop a trickle of a few dozen a year isn't a "solution" or "caring" it is a cover for his violence. You don't need to start a war to stop a frozen conflict. You could say respect a countries territorial integrity, try to get seek mediation by a third party, offer to relocate threatened civilians and I'm sure a willing diplomatic core can come up with a dozen more ways to stop the civilians suffering in the Donbas that don't involves starting a war.
But that isn't the point, the point of crying for the dozens off civilians being killed in the frozen conflict is the excuse the murder of tens of thousands of people that never had to die.
I am all in favor of no more brother wars, but don't start shit and then cry crocodile tears.

Russia to host 'First International Antifascist Conference' to fight Nazism

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made similar statements on Tuesday at the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting. As he began to speak, many other member nations' representatives left the room.

Ignore all of the KGB agents who currently run the Russian government there is absolutely no coincidence that everyone who ended up being powerful in the Russian Federation was powerful in the old Soviet regime.
The veneration of Joseph Stalin is just because you know he was defending Russia even though the majority of the remaining members of the white movement joined Adolf Hitler.
We are not communist guys I swear

They are a bunch of ne'er do wells mad at the Russian government for various reasons. Contract soldiers who were not paid, people who ended up on the wrong side of an FSB ass kicking, former Wagner mercenaries who feel betrayed and so on.

There is a sort of unifying ideology to them in that they want to restore the Russian Republic that the Bolsheviks overthrew and divest Russia of its vast minority ridden hinterland that they see as a waste of resources and lives. But this political ideation is fairly marginal compared to the overarching position that they hate Putin personally.
