    As if the worst foe of the Islamic state right now is the Russian Federation … very suspicious especially when many embassies warned their citizens to leave Russia just a week ago because they had Intel about major terror attacks coming to Russia.

      The Islamic State has plenty of reasons to hate Russia, such as their continued cooperation with the Assad government and Iran, the Chechen Wars, their military campaigns in Afghanistan… just to name a few. You don’t need to be “the worst foe” to be targeted by ISIS, as many of their attacks have shown.

        When it comes to foes Israel, US, France, UK, Germany, Netherlands; KSA, UAE should top the list.

        unless someone else is pulling the strings and using them to advance their geopolitical agendas. terror attacks abroad have almost no impact on rallying support in the regions they want control over.

          It would be ISIS’s wet fucking dream for Russia to honestly believe the west was directly or indirectly responsible for this.

          For your conspiracy theory to be plausible you need to suspend the expectation that ISIS would operate in their own best interests. Usually a bad bet.
