I was vaguely pro Russia before the war in Ukraine kicked off mostly due to how hard Obama screwed the pooch re: ISIS. Assad and his Russian support did a lot more to curb the goatfuckers than the mulatto in chief. However, when Putin thought a war against Ukraine was a worthwhile endeavor I was personally mad at the prick because I thought he was smarter than this.
I was Anti-Islamatist, which meant I was in favor of Russia in Syria.
Assad was (and still is) the far and away cleanest end of the turd given that even if the "moderates" won it was going to be open season any ethnic or religious minorities in the country. Lord Purple Drank really needed to sit that one out besides letting the Kurds carve out their little operational area, but Captain Peace Prize instead needed to start another war.
The switch has more to do with the logistics of it. Even the most goat brained of the sheep fuckers can figure out how to use a gun. Acquiring guns is also fairly straight forward if you are involved in crime. Getting or making explosives and then rigging them for your virgin express vest is harder, will draw more attention to you and might see you going to your virgins without taking any infidels.
So a small group of retard friends can get the idea to do something very evil, ask the cousin of an other friend that deals drugs to get them a gun or two under false pretense and then go and show the world the true nature of the religion of peace.
Not just the logistics but...
I sperged about this in another thread, but bombs are very hard and unforgiving. One mistake and even if you aren't dead you are going to be in the hospital with some hard to explain injuries. Most bombers are blown up before they even make a successful, portable device. Its a hell of a skill funnel. Due to this, there are few enough bomb makers in the world the FBI knows each and every one; each one has a little quirk or tell in their work that IDs them. Even when they train up a new person who survives, that new person has 'tells' inherited from their teacher - so they don't just know who made the bomb, but who taught them. So when someone does a bombing, the FBI will know who taught them which will tell them about what organization did the bombing or tacitly approved it.
This was one of the reasons the FBI got such a hard-on to catch the Unabomber: Ol' Teddy was self-taught so didn't have any tells that would tell the FBI who he was or who he was working with or a teacher he learned from. If Teddy had started teaching others, the FBI was going to be completely pants down and thumbs up ass until they caught a student.
So basically in addition to the logistics of carrying bench-made explosives and timers and hoping they aren't damaged in transit or get too wet, within a couple days of when the FBI is brought in (directly or indirectly, and they will be) they will know exactly who made the bomb. And Russia like Mossad won't fuck around with worrying about shit like "operating in another country" when it comes to ventilating those responsible.

Same.
I want Russia to lose the military engagement in Ukraine; but I'm not gonna hate on some Russian security services for frying goat fucker balls who killed a bunch of innocent civilians in their own home country.
I think the concern is not so much terroballs getting roasted - Osama getting the same treatment before burial at sea would have been good - but concern that Russia got the right people and not some wrong-place, wrong-origin shitskin being strung up because they need a human sacrifice to keep the populace feeling like the powers that be are in control.
