http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/09/isis-video-shows-beheading-alleged-russian-spy.html Hard to tell how Putin would approach this. Was this guy a traitor to Russia? Was he a citizen coerced after being kidnapped by them (being in the wrong place at the wrong time)? If this guy was innocent, will Putin throw the bone hammer down on ISIS and start increasing bombing campaigns? What say you all?
If that video was supposed to somehow repell russians - it failed. Man in the video - I found it on YouTube already - adresses first Putin, saying "they expected Russia will join the rest of infidels fighting them", and then russian people - saying they will be murdering our children for theirs. Nothing, that any criminal maniac would've not said before. I say - video made me angry, but this will changes nothing. That I pity the man who died, and that I continue arguing for global cooperation against the terrorism - even terrorists of ISIS themselves see us as a united force. Maybe, when opposing terror, we should be such force.
Putin could use this opportunity to really hammer ISIS. From a US perspective, we should sit back and let Russia do it
ISIL likes provocations. The Russian General staff have denied that this person was a Russian scout. I think we will no know the truth, because scouts die silently.
There are a lot of bandits from Caucasus in Syria.. Of course, there are a lot of secret agents from Russia in Syria. But an innocent Russian in Syria... It's very strange. They could kill someone from their accomplices for a propaganda target.
You are a strange dude. The human was beheaded and you try to joke. Would you think that all your problems have one reason? For example, you don't respect a human life.
Wake up. It's just another anti-Russian story meant to add to the moronic anti-Russian tirades that we experience more intensively and more frequently by the week. I don't believe in capital punishment at all, not by ISIS, not by any US state, not by anybody. ANY victim of ANY society which practises capital punishment has my sympathy. Now let's see you state the same. Today is Victory Day in Russia. 27 million Russians died. ' Fox News ' wants you to condemn the hard-hearted Russians. It's owned by Rupert Murdoch. Know anything about ol' Rupe ?
So, we all feel sorry for the man, and all agree on fact that ISIS should be rendered harmless. We may have different opinions on aim of the video, but - we have a common danger, that should together oppose and solve. Let's not then be bitter to each other.
Strange? No, that's to be expected from a jihadist cheerleader like moon. Notice how she referred to that man's brutal MURDER as "capital punishment", as if what happened to him was some form of justice.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has denied the authenticity of a video purporting to show the execution of a Russian intelligence officer in Syria that was released by the propaganda wing of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
https://vk.com/wall-46313275_66765, his name Petrenko E.V. , Петренко Евгений Викторович, picture is here, more than 2000 Muscovite solders were killed in Ukraine, so what? Putler acts like don't know and don't want them...
Putin cannot let himself look weak. No matter what the story, Putin is going to need to come down hard on ISIS. So far he has been avoiding them and hitting the rebels instead. Big mistake apparently. Welcome to the Middle East, Vladimir !!
Secret agent and/or spy is a dangerous job. They used to give these guys cyanide tabs. Plus a gun, a knife, and extra mags. In this kind of job you cannot let yourself be taken alive. This poor Rooskie just proved why.
There are many issues that separate the Americans and Russians. But wouldn't it be nice if we could cooperate on the issues where we're on the same side? It would be sweet if we both went in and kicked some radical Islam a$$.
Seen too many conscripts getting their heads lopped off. Can't even come close to watching that stuff anymore. That being said, it didn't work to dispell Russia well in Chechnya, I doubt it will have the desired effect here.
agree, ISIS certainly has a death wish, which I find baffling to be honest, why would you want to pizz off pretty much every country in the world? If I was Trump i'd call Putin and say "hey we're going to have the jets on maintenance for a couple of weeks, getting the tires rotated and oil changed, so If you are planning some bomb runs for the rest of May we won't be getting in your way"
