“It is abundantly clear that ISIS (Islamic State) was solely responsible for the horrific attack in Moscow last week,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said.
“In fact, the United States tried to help prevent this terrorist attack and the Kremlin knows this.”
It’s quite telling that Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, has not addressed the Security Council, imploring the rest of the world to unite against Ukrainian Islamist terrorism. They know that their arguments wouldn’t survive scrutiny there, and are essentially kayfabe (to use the pro wrestling term of art).
I mean, their entire argument is that islamist movements wouldn’t do jihadist actions in the month when Mohammad waged the first jihad, which is probably the dumbest thing anyone ever said about Islamic terrorism.
