I think it is GREAT that ISIS is now threatening Russia. These days they deserve each other and just might get so involved we go WAAAY down in priority for both. We (and EU) could use the break.

Ah, threaten Russia - I love it. I would love to see them continue down that path, expand on it, and blow up a few things (without loss of life - abandoned property) and do the same in China.
Maybe at that point, Xi Jinping, Putin and Obama would join together and jointly reiterate the mindset Joe Biden communicated when he said:
"When people harm Americans, we don't reteat, we don't forget. We take care of those who are grieving. And when that is finished, they should know: We will follow them to the Gates of Hell, until they are brought to justice, because Hell is where they will reside!” Biden said, practically shouting.
The only thing these barbarians understand is force and violence. A "joint" reminder that you can be wiped off the face of the earth in 30 minutes would certainly get their attention.
Now, I know some will fret over "collateral damage" should the three countries actually take military action. Really? This is war, just not the "classic" type of war you are familiar with. "They," the population that brought these people into the world and spent years indoctrinating them, are as much to blame as those committing these acts. They know who they are and steadfastly shield them so I wouldn't lose much sleep if they got to "check out" as well.
Flame away....

My feelings are hurt. It's been two hours since I posted my totally insensitive comments and nobody is flaming me. Either everyone agrees or I have been cast out of the tribe and nobody gives a darn what I have to say.
OK, I'll add a little more and "prime the pump." What do these tribes in the middle east actually contribute to society and why would they be missed?
Don't get your hopes up, I'm not going to delete my account no matter how you respond.

Don't get your hopes up, I'm not going to delete my account no matter how you respond. My late DH had an action he wanted to see done: We should nuke these sand (not nice n word) back into the stone age. My feeling is that there are LARGE hunks of territory in that area that should/could be turned into a sheet of glass. Not many would care or miss them.

And some people say we can't let other countries have nuclear weapons because they might use them. Few people in the world would care or miss New York either.

Russia will be our buddy again......even if they continue their land grab
They are Slavs, as is most of Europe and have had problems in Chechnya for years and years.

Just a thought but....those muslim majority Republics that were once part of Russia, and of the Soviet Union....All of them ,thanks To Stalin, have large Russian Minorities. Should extreme forms of Islam expand there what might Russian reaction be to potential persecution, or worse, of that Russian minority?

Chechnya and Ukraine seem to me to be situations which give glimpses of an answer.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

My thinking on this is be careful, If ISIS planned this for Australia, what have their sleepers have planned for USA & Canada.

I get why men join... they get to rule over women and kill in the name of religion. (I don't agree, or think it's a good thing, mind you... but I understand the thought process)
I DON'T get why "western" women would willingly join. Someone explain the draw to me... please?
