What's Russki for 'you're dead'? ...Ty trup

ISIS claims it shot down the Russian air liner that crashed in Sinai. Over at Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft has video.

Is the video real? Who knows? My initial judgement is yes, its real. But then again, they didn't teach much missile forensics at Wesley College, so its just a guess.

I do have one question for ISIS, though.

Are you our of your freakin' mind?

I've published a bit on the Russian war in Chechnya. Let's just say the comrade Putin has a different strategy for dealing with Islamic terrorists. They leveled Grozny block by block, paid no mind at all to civilian casualties, and made captured Chechen fighters perform sex acts on one another during interrogation. I think the below video sums up Putin's attitude on the matter:

Of course, the questioner would be some sissy Frenchman.

If this doesn't explain the American 'cult of Putin' nothing will.

Of course, the Soviets had close ties to Egypt for much of the Cold War. Israel's warehouses full of Captured Egyptian army equipment is Soviet in origin. Getting back into Egypt is certainly possible for Putin.

One doubts the Egyptians would mind. They certainly can't handle ISIS. Heck, the Israelis would be ok with Russian presence there as well. At least Putin crush the terrorists.

What a wonderful possibility, a historical POD, what is Sharon was still with us? Sharon, the born in Palestine, was a Russian Jew. Imagine those two in a room together, talking about killing terrorists? Da, da indeed.
