Can anyone explain to me what's ISIS's beef with Russia?
Credibility alert.
Chechnya is mostly Islamic, and Russia was very unfriendly to them, killings tens of thousands of women and children, with the battle of Grozny (twice) being the crowning achievement of civilian deaths.
Syria is mostly Islamic, and Russia has been killing ISIL/ISIS soldiers (and a large number of civilians) there for for about 9 years.
And Afghanistan itself had some slight history with Russia, being at war with them for about a decade.
Yeah in Syria it's one of the few times US and Russian forces have fought "alongside" each other, both against ISIS.** There were so many greenforce nations in Syria the Pentagon had to dedicate staff to coordinate with a crazy mixbag of groups - Syrian Army, FSA, Kurds, Turkish, Russians, Iraq, and even Iran to make sure no one stepped on each other's feet trying to kill ISIS. Lmao they REALLY pissed off the entire planet.
** - Russia quickly started hunting FSA people too and that's how we got the whole "US absolutely deleting Wagner forces at the oil well" incident
Just to add:
- Syria: they also allowed Russian Islamic extremists to go fight in Syria rather than cause trouble in Russia - some of them reportedly joined ISIS
- Dagestan
- Sudan/Darfur
- disproportionate recruitment of Muslim minorities for the Ukrainian front
- violent repression of Muslim minorities
- involvement in the Sahel + helping military regimes in Niger/Mali/Burkino Faso fight ISIS affiliated groups
- Afghanistan: ISIS have previously attacked the Russian embassy there, saying the Taliban aren't radicals and are Russian puppets.
- Iran: ISIS has perpetrated attacks in Iran, hates the Iranian regime. Iran is a Russian ally and provides them with drones for Ukraine, Russia in turn supports Iran.
Etc. etc. etc.
the Ukrainian front violent repression of Muslim minorities
An important distinction. There are a lot of ethnic minorities in Russia, and a lot of them are Muslim. The biggest groups got their own "stan" and are nominally independent now, but plenty in country.
One of the reasons Chechnya got hammered so hard in the 90s was to send a message to those groups. But they ain't happy.
At least some of them are still pissed about the Afghanistan invasion in the 80s. Others are upset about Russia's support for Syria.
Don't forget indiscriminate slaughter of Chechens
Prigozhin was their secret crush
Daesh have beef with literally everyone that isnt themselves?
There has been a lot of Islamic separatism in southeast Russia/central Asia for a long long time
Easy. Just look up the letter agency who fund it. False Flag as always.
As always
I too live in a world of theatre, I think my mailman is is in the CIA and is planning a false flag to get me locked up for 3 counts of mail fraud
The janitor in your office is planning something too! He went undercover for thirty years just to frame you!
Aw fugck I knew it, that rat bastard!
Oh yeah, he's also an actual rat. He's trained in the CIA robotics labs to pilot a man-sized mecha suit.
Unexpected Wayside School ftw
i mean possibility that it is a false flag exists, but if anything, it would be done by FSB. they did that before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Russian_apartment_bombings
but the explanation that ISIS did it makes more sense
