Maybe the Russian intelligence services aren´t in the freakin bed with these terrorists. I don´t know; I guess terrorists look for easy soft targets where they can set up their operations without too much interference. Also for publicity, in the western world at least, Paris in France carries more weight than Makhachkala in Russia. Western presstitutes and other morons might go on for a few days about how it´s pronounced. No emotional porn binge equity for them there.

Nah, Putin's loving it. Rising levels of nationalism in Europe play right into Putin's hands because it weakens the EU. "Divide and conquer" is the name of the game.

Yeah well, there´s more than one way to skin a cat. The Russians have of course been happily watching the European Union turn into some kind of a modern and kinder Soviet Union. There´s a rubberstamp "parliament", bunch of kommissars that nobody voted for, politburo et cetera. Tony Blair was even supposed to become its "president" at least that was an idea that was floating around from some politburo members but understandably and very thankfully soon sank to the bottom of the lake. I guess he wasn´t supposed to be voted into office in any election except maybe by a selected few.

Not sure how this soviet experiment will last, the many cracks are obvious. Its demise seems inevitable, not least to the Russians, they have first hand experience after all. It´s just a question of time.
