Terrorists should be handled in the worst way possible.

Enemies, Tajiks... Lend me your ears.

I don't know what to say about this situation... it smells of being "fake" in some way. Islam sounds pretty incompetent if it just does random terrorist attacks; sounds hard to believe. I don't really know what's going on with it tbh.

Something definitely doesn't smell right. Russia is in the same geopolitical sphere as many Middle Eastern countries, it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to do a terrorist attack against one of your country's allies.

I think you articulate something more specific that doesn't make sense rather than my vague skepticism, and I agree it doesn't seem like this would be all that good of a geopolitical move... sounds more plausible someone else attacked and tried to blame it on "Islam" or "ISIS"
