I'm sure Putin will bomb another Ukrainian kindergarten to help him through this difficult time.

ISIL posted a photo on one of its Telegram channels on Saturday claiming to show the four men who launched the attack. The group said the attack was part of ISIL’s “raging war” on countries fighting Islam.

Interesting that the Islamic State completely ignores Israel, given that Israel is in the process of digging tunnels under and denying Muslims access to the third most holy site in all of Islam...

You forgot the fact that Israel is killing mostly innocent civilians in Gaza, using U.S. weapons. It's almost as if they are trying to create terrorists. I know I would be pissed if it happened to me...

The US was founded on using US weapons to kill innocent civilians in a quest to steal their land while creating terrorists along the way. It is a tradition!

ISIS also sells the majority of their oil to Israel

If that was the case, then it is surprising how they never attack Israel.

Probably more difficult to get into Israel in the first place tbh.

Plus isn’t mossad meant to be good at spying on people? And yes we all know about their “failures” that lead to the Gaza invasion.

Russia is supposedly so good at intelligence that they can manipulate the elections of their greatest geopolitical rival.

They also have over 22K kilometres of border, some with ex soviet countries, which the shooters are supposedly from. How difficult do you think it is for someone to get into Russia, really?

Compare that with Israel.

That's why the CIA is doing so well in China, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Why would ISIS do that? Hamas has done it and achieved desired effect - Israeli reaction to the act of terror with sequential condemnation by many countries of the Israeli responce. ISIS wants unification of Muslims under their banner into Khaliphate. Having terror act in Israel only unite Israelis in their fight against terror and will validate Israel in the eyes of the world.

I didn't realize ISIL was still a thing.

@sentient_loom yeah they're still a thing, just very loose-knit. Eg "the Ansars" in this article on Cabo Delgado.

They got quite reduced but apparently had many operations planned in Europe that were thwarted.

US intelligence even warned Russia earlier this month that an attack like this was suspected.

Mobilization is coming
