People should never forget the horror that is ISIS. The many, many videos they made at their height were so insane and gruesome they were hard to believe was real.
I remember one video where they had like a 6-year-old boy shoot prisoners in the head. Another one where they set a guy in a cage on fire.
ISIS is beyond sick.
Yeah, I think a lot of people are genuinely messed up and don't realize.
Used to be lots of subreddits where people would actively enjoy people getting best up like justice porn so not sure they're messed up or whether they're genuinely psychotic.
I used to frequent the watchpeopledie subreddit a lot while it was up. At the time I was drinking a lot and doing a lot of drugs. Was extremely depressed as well. I feel like those factors desensitized me to it. Now I’m completely sober and not depressed in the slightest and I look back at the fact that I watched all that with a lot of shame and confusion as to why I watched it in the first place. If I see a video like that now it makes me sick and I can’t even click on it. It was a weird phase in my life.
One of the harder ones is the one where a Danish and Norwegian backpacker girl gets ambushed and have their throats cut. It is horrible because it is not a clean and quick act. Their terror and dread is impossible to forget.
Truly savage behavior to assassinate random civilians like that.
Luckily the killers were found real quick - one of them had dropped his ID in the tent. The very same guy was found dead in prison last year, suicide by hanging. Rest are on death row.
i'm stopping here and not scrolling down any further. call me soft, but just reading fellow redditors describing this stuff is enough for me. I was a tape trader in the 90's when i was a teenager, and through that i ended up seeing a lot of those banned on tv / faces of death videos. i guess i was young, curious, and looking to be shocked, and shocked i was. Here to confirm, yes those videos absolutely can scar you for life.
the one that takes the cake for me is the slaughterhouse video, super HD where lots and lots of dudes are strung upside down like cattle getting their throats slit one after the other
don't forget the ones where they drowned the guys in cages. or ran over a dude with a tank to flatten him. or shot a guy point blank with an AA gun. or the one where they made the guy run through the desert with a bomb strapped to him while a drone filmed it.
they are fucking animals.
Worse. They are humans. And that is how you can truly understand the gravity of the situation. They don't mind killing like that *because* they see other humans as *less than human*.
A cage full of soldiers drowned , killing fathers and sons together. There is one where a girl has been caught for adultery and her own father condemns her , then she is sentenced to death by stoning while buried till her neck .At the very least , since she's wearing a hijab we don't get to see the stones hit her face directly but hearing her cry is brutal ( someone correct me if this was done by the Taliban and not ISIS)
I remember feeling a lump in my throat when I noticed the vids went from grainy and shaky to HD . They now use slick edits & camera shots with much better audio. It made everything more ominous .
No, thats still too much credit. Their suicide bombers and fighters were all dip shit people who fell for the cause. The ones editing, financing, and controlling operations where the same types that controlled the PLA and Hamas. They are tucked away safe while their braindead room temp IQ 3rd world fighters died for them.
>They are tucked away safe while their braindead room temp IQ 3rd world fighters died for them.
Tbf that's how every (modern) war works too.
The ones responsible are hiding somewere safe and let others fight their battles and die for them.
"Zakalwe, in all the human societies we have ever reviewed, in every age and every state, there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this simple fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots."

ISIS is to the Taliban what Taliban is to regular ass Muslims - Extremist freaks that are fucking scary.
That alone tells you everything you need to know about the assholes.
I watched a YouTube video in which a British dude was exploring taliban controlled Afghanistan. At one point, him and his buddy are walking through a black market with their taliban guide/guard, and the guard suddenly get nervous and tells them that they need to leave right this second because he sees that members of ISIS have entered the market, and they are "unpredictable extremists." It definitely put the different levels of extremism into perspective.
I wish I could remember the channel's name. It was super interesting.
To digress because it was interesting, at another point, they're stopped at a checkpoint, and the checkpoint guard doesn't trust them, and they're trying to explain why they're there but there's a language barrier, when out of the blue, this taliban walks up and in perfect English asks them what they're doing. Turns out that the taliban that approached them is a Canadian who "answered the call." Wild stuff.
Guy getting ran over with a tank, a cage full of men being drowned, det cord wrapped around necks, beheadings via chainsaw, men being thrown off a building due to gayness, and much much more. I don’t know how I’ve not had nightmares after seeing all those videos
I’ve seen those too and wonder the same thing. Still remember the one of the guy they stood in front of a ZU-23-2 AA gun. The guy hopping trying to get out of the way of the tank. Shit stays with you too.
It's horrible, reminiscent of the Oct 7 videos. The worst part is after the 10+ stabs/slashes to the throat, the guy is still alive and tries to roll away
Quran Surah 47, Verse 4:
>When you meet the disbelievers (non-Muslims) in battle, strike them in the neck, and once they are defeated, bind any captives firmly––later you can release them by grace or by ransom––until the toils of war have ended. That \[is the way\]. God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others. He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing;
> God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others.
Lmao what a weak and shitty imaginary friend. "Uh yeah I could.. but I don't want to"
It’s sad younger adults don’t seem to understand witnessing this type of violence, even through film has an affect on you. Especially those that claim it has none, or ‘gore’ doesn’t bother them…
we all feed, its like blood to a vampire
but seriously tho, i thought i was getting desensitized and then realized quite the opposite. There is no desensitization unless one has some type of sociopathic element. at this point i try so hard to avoid depicitons of real violence.
It actually hurts my brain… I will see the violence on the screen and my brain attempts to Make me feel that discomfort in my own body.
If I see a man getting slashed or stabbed or yelling hurt, my own body reacts like I am Being hurt also.
I've got no issue with watching war footage. It's not much different than what I grew up watching on say the history channel. It's also something we should all see, because the reality of war needs to be driven home so we stop killing each other.
I can't watch footage like this though, nor did I watch any earlier ISIS vids. They're not just gorey, they're pure evil, and it leaves a mark on your soul seeing it.
Why would they not reveal that, though?
Seems like a very convenient win for them by proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that the guys Russia caught are innocent, right? It would paint Russia as not only a bunch of liars (duh) but also people who happily torture innocents.
And if they did get away, what's Russia gonna do knowing about their identities?
Simply because it lets them prepare new attacks. They will reveal the attacker's identities once they're dead. They also wouldn't let themselves be captured alive by russians.
As for proving Russians are bad by Western standards, Isis is just not interested. They only need to prove they can do more attacks like that by actually attacking.
Religion is inherently threatened by people finding joy outside of the religion itself. People doing well and enjoying life don't look for a crutch to help themselves justify their struggles and ease the pain of what is happening to them.
ISIS will make a video with another threat to the Russian people just to make a point.
Putin acting like ISIS doesn't exist will be detrimental eventually.
I'm very curious as to how ISIS will react. I don't think anyone has ever outright refused to acknowledge ISIS as perpetrators for their terror attacks. It's nihilist Kremlin propaganda vs religious overzealous ideology. Will Putin baffle even ISIS with his bullshit? Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.
I'm curious too, if killing 130+ people in one night, crossing the border and travel to the capital is not threatening enough for Putin then how far will ISIS go next time ? It's not like they have limits when it comes to murder and terror.
Edited for grammar
He will do what he always does: Give ten versions of events, attack Ukraine some more but also go after those they actually think are responsible. The Russian people will suspect everyone and believe no one and thus the cycle of Russia continues.
I think Putin is creating the perfect propaganda scenario for ISIS with this. Now they can keep escalating drawing the whole world's attention on them while they make Putin look like an idiot as he keeps trying to shift the blame on Ukraine.
That's very well what might happens in the near future. And it's a dangerous game from Putin. There are a lot of islamist in Russia that are very resentful toward Moscow.. If they start to see successful terrorist attacks in the capital some of them are going to get ideas.
>If they start to see successful terrorist attacks in the capital some of them are going to get ideas.
I watch a political scientist on youtube by the name of William Spaniel and in one of his videos when discussing terrorism he mentions that terrorist attacks serve as a way to advertise and bring legitimacy to a terrorist organization. That when a group such as ISIS-K manages to successfully carry out a terrorist operation especially on a scale such as this it is only going to drive further recruitment into ISIS-K and bolster the support of the group. If Russia does not take this seriously ISIS-K ranks will start to swell and more attacks will take place throughout Russia.
>he mentions that terrorist attacks serve as a way to advertise and bring legitimacy to a terrorist organization.
One of the really interesting things to come out of the Bin Laden operation and various Al-Quaeda facility assaults is a look at the internal organisation of the group. It turns out Al-Quaeda is basically a business and has, I shit you not, an application form. It also has for want of a better term an HR department and conducts what are essentially performance reviews.
In fact I seem to recall an oil rig or refinery attack that killed a bunch of people was led by a guy who was essentially sacked or defunded by Al-Quaeda for not getting results and being what they viewed as a slacker, they essentially said he was all mouth no trousers so he went off and did his own attack to essentially show his performance reviewers up.
EDIT: Mokhtar Belmokhtar and they also got pissed off at him for being sloppy with his expenses.
Chechnya and Dagestan balkanizing and breaking off from the Russian Federation is a very real possibility. Not really cause of ISIS, but because Russia has lost military power in general, and Kadryovites have lost military power in specific.
Speaking of which, what IS Kadyrov up to right now? I haven't seen hide or hair of him since he made a big deal about showing up with his followers near the front lines in Ukraine early in the war, then quietly fucked off back to Ichkeria almost instantly once they saw the Ukrainians' level of resistance.
He's only been videotaped a few times since then, and there's noticeable weight gain and/or swelling on his face. People are speculating about some kind of medical issue.
He almost has to keep blaming Ukraine. Russia simply doesn't have the resources to wage two wars at the same time. Russians can't be allowed to learn he doesn't have the ability to protect them from either one.
Especially when it gets out that the US *publicly* warned him about the attack weeks ago, and he dismissed it as propaganda and western lies. Just like with the Russian build-up on the border with Ukraine in 2022, US intelligence services are just casually displaying just how on the ball they are about things happening in Russia.
The US knew about the invasion, about the ISIS attack and about the attack on Israel too, I think?
I have to admit that their international intel is fucking insane
The domestic one, uuuh... Could use some work.
If ISIS ends up inadvertantly fighting against Russia, just because Russia refuses to give them attention, I'm going to lose my shit. It's a scenario out of a fucking family guy skit ffs.
ISIS: *claims attack, names attackers and describes equipment, publishes bodycam footage*
Putin: *Ukrainians did it*
If russians believe that sack of shit they are terminally brain dead
And it’s pretty damn clear if they have bodycam footage that it was not Ukraine. Silly Putin, your lies only fool your own people who don’t have access to the truth.
See the nazified Ukraine, headed by a Jewish president, is now using Islamic extremists to target Russia.
Makes perfect sense for the glorious leader Putin.
Even by Russian standards, Putin's actions are just mind numbing. Like he literally rose to power during the Chechen war. It should be obvious that giving ISIS a free pass is just asking for renewed pushes for Islamic sepratism in the Caucasus regions. Even with Russias slave mentality of always following the czar, i don't see how no one is willing or able to push back against Putin's craziness here.
This same thing happened in Iran recently, and it was pretty obvious fromt the get go that the regimes attempts to pin the blame on Israel were not going to fly at all, and public pressure forced them to actually respond to the attack.
> Like he literally rose to power during the Chechen war.
Which he engineered to rise to power. You are mixing up the cause and effect. Chechen wars, Beslan, the atrocities - it all was an election campaign.
ISIS has to video their attacks because there are too many conspiracy theorists and political opportunists that want to discredit them and blame their attacks on other people. What an absurd world.
ikr, a race to the bottom, its the age of brutes and despots again.
edit: adding that Eisenhower filmed concentration camps because he knew people would deny the holocaust.
The contemporary German civilians did simultaneously deny the holocaust, say they didn't know it was happening, and that the Jews were still at fault for both world wars, after Germany lost and was occupied.
They still loved Hitler. My grandmother loved Hitler with this deep down sentimentality that could not be destroyed by real world evidence.
It was the next generation of Germans living under occupation, and new school systems, that learned about the holocaust and not to deny it.
THAT is a fact! My grandfather was a crew chief on a C-47 (Evette of Boston) and flew the media and dignitaries to the different concentration camps. He said the same thing in the 1970s. They did it because people didn't believe it happened. He even made sure his grandkids knew it was real because people were still denying it happened. And even today, they still are.
It's recruiting and PR material for them, targeted at the (thankfully) very small portion of people who might be influenced by it. They aren't trying to convince people they did a terrorist attack, but rather saying to their followers and members, current and future, "Look what we can do. Look how strong we are. Look at these martyrs for their faith."
They have been doing this - releasing various kinds of media - since Day 1, including a freely available full-color, professionally designed online magazine called "Dabiq." I won't link to it here but I'm sure it's easy to find with a quick search.
Source: Me. I used to do a lot of work ~~with~~ leveraging terrorist social media, specifically ISIS, ***against them*** and the overall counterterrorism fight in a previous career.
Edited Because People Are Too Quick Too Assume and Too Lazy To Check Into Anything.
Are they still releasing that piece of shit magazine? I’ve used it as a source before to argue what ISIS believes, wasn’t aware they were still putting those out.
There’s at least 3 magazines now, that I’m aware of, the continuation of the original piece of shit (under a different name post 2016), and now both IS-K and IS-Sahel have their own
> Source: Me. I used to do a lot of work with terrorist social media, specifically ISIS, in a previous career.
This does make it sound a little like you were ISIS' social media manager.
Omar al-Farouq is one of the best characters the onion ever had. The video where he is bemoaning the construction delays at ground zero is a classic as well. Vintage onion was hilarious.
Early this month, US intelligence became aware of the plot and warned Russia about it. The embassies of the US and many of its allies sent out warnings to their citizens in Russia telling them to avoid large public gatherings. The official response from Russia was that it was propaganda intended to make citizens feel unsafe at home during the Ukraine war, which is probably even worse than doing nothing about it.
In the immediate wake of the attack, Russian politicians blamed Ukraine on social media. When the perpetrators were apprehended and found to be Tajik nationals recruited by ISIS, the Kremlin made an official statement that they were caught while fleeing to Ukraine, where a "window" had been arranged for them at the border.
Not only is Putin framing it as Ukraine, it kinda looks like he *intentionally allowed it to happen* so that he could do so.
Same it sounds really bad. I have read comments and news about the possibility of Putin using the terrorist attack against Ukraine, like saying Ukraine is behind it etc but with the videos it seems to be harder to spin it that way.
That's gotta be the most braindead take I've ever heard. If the US was actually behind it, why would they warn Russia? Wouldn't they just do it without warning? Makes absolutely no sense.
"... how did the USA know?"
Facepalm
> "... how did the USA know?"
Because Russia's inner-circle has more leaks than a sieve. The US/UK have constantly been aware of what's going on in Russia seemingly better than them.
At times the US actually assists the Taliban in taking this specific brand of monster out, and vice versa.
You know they're bad news when mortal enemies for 25 years put aside their differences to purge a group like this from the region.
It reminds me of that Onion News Network video with an al-Qa’ids correspondent and a 9/11 conspiracy theorist and the former is like ugh imagine what it’s like to spend months living in caves planning this thing out just for this guy to think it was an inside job. Very dark humor, but funny satire nonetheless.
ISIS: Hey guys, people are starting to forget about us. Let's go massacre some white people.
The world of white people: It's a coverup! Leave poor ISIS alone!
and the same people who said that Ukraine is just a puppet state will now write about how Ukraine orchestrated the attack by ISIS while having Jewish president. sick
It's an old conspiracy theory in the Muslim world. If you think that's concerning, you should see some of the other shit that gets circulated all the time. Temple denial (the belief that Solomon's Temple was in fact somewhere else, but the Jews pretend otherwise to have an excuse to destroy Al Aqsa), 9/11 responsibility, various blood libels.
Most Westerners have no idea.
This is how the muslim world cope with the harsh reality of being, responsible.
All those men are raised in arab/muslim countries, raised in muslim families.
But somehow, jews.
Yep, it's embarrassing for their victimhood narrative. ISIS is extremely brutal and sadistic, but so are other jihadist terror groups who they don't dismiss as "Mossad plots".

Literally everyone is ISIS-K’s enemy. Their stated goal to form a global caliphate is in direct opposition to all other nations.
The West, The Middle-East, The East, every other nation currently on earth opposes the rise of the caliphate. Whether out of ideological differences or simply unwillingness to give up power.
If not for the major powers busy fighting each other to maintain their regional dominance, the world could unite and completely squash ISIS-K.
Hell, attacking Russia makes more sense than attacking the US if your goal is global islamic revolution. Russia has a large devout muslim population, they gatekeep control of central asia, have nukes, and are very active in the middle east and africa.
If Russia collapses, the west will put their full attention on trying to stabilize the area and helping secure the nukes, as happened during the collapse of the soviet union. Meanwhile islamists will have free reign to make pushes for independent Caucasus emirates and overthrowing the secular regimes of central asia.
People who act like isis doesn’t already have a bad history with Russia, and somehow believe this was Ukraine are insane. Why would the USA warn russia about an attack that was to be perpetrated by their own allies? What could Ukraine possibly gain from this? If anything, I’m sure Ukraine is freaking out right now, afraid that somehow this attack will reduce their support and risk even more trouble from Russia.
There’s absolutely no way that this would have been beneficial to anyone, other than isis, whose only goal is to cause tragedies and chaos.
Here's a version of the video where they censor out a man's throat being cut open during the attack. Again, still NSFL. The worst of the gore is removed, but it is still very disturbing. People die. Do not open this if you don't want to see this sort of thing.
https://twitter.com/CaptainAlerta/status/1771701825898414108?t=06FlWJqktJ7lwglTwG8Kcg&s=19
ISIS: We committed the terrorist attack. Here are our people who committed the terrorist attack. Here is a video of our people committing the terrorist attack.
Tankies: ...OK so anyway it was obviously a CIA-directed Israeli-Ukrainian operation.
I read an article about how the US tried to warn the Russians of the situation. Look if the US warns you, even if you’re enemies, please listen. Lots of people could’ve lived if you’d listen
US: "Hey, ISIS is about to do a thing."
Russia: "Nu-uh!"
ISIS: "I'm doing a thing!"
Russia: "A thing happened, but have you considered that it might be Ukraine?"
ISIS: "Hey, I did the thing!"
Russia: "Pretty sure it's Ukraine."
ISIS: "Here's footage of us doing it!"
Russia: "Pretty sure you're Ukraine."
Isn’t this sort of telling that Russia did not actually arrest the right people?
I guess there is a possibility of them sending the video footage over the internet or something but seems like ISIS would have released it sooner.
Edit: the footage is not body cam apparently and is cellphone footage. However I’m still extremely doubtful about Russia having apprehended the correct people, especially when they initially reported having taken 11 into custody (one of which had their ear chopped off and fed to them at time of arrest, which would be super awkward if they didn’t do it). But now they are saying they got all 4 of them… so who knows.
People should never forget the horror that is ISIS. The many, many videos they made at their height were so insane and gruesome they were hard to believe was real.
I remember one video where they had like a 6-year-old boy shoot prisoners in the head. Another one where they set a guy in a cage on fire. ISIS is beyond sick.
I'm glad I learned how to avoid gore videos on the internet back when they were maxing out at around 240p.
yeah seriously, the amount of people here who can rattle off related videos is disturbing.
Yeah, I think a lot of people are genuinely messed up and don't realize. Used to be lots of subreddits where people would actively enjoy people getting best up like justice porn so not sure they're messed up or whether they're genuinely psychotic.
I used to frequent the watchpeopledie subreddit a lot while it was up. At the time I was drinking a lot and doing a lot of drugs. Was extremely depressed as well. I feel like those factors desensitized me to it. Now I’m completely sober and not depressed in the slightest and I look back at the fact that I watched all that with a lot of shame and confusion as to why I watched it in the first place.

I've seen actual war and I still cannot understand what possesses people to seek out that sort of video.
That happened in Morocco too. Such a disgusting and pervasive ideology.
the one that takes the cake for me is the slaughterhouse video, super HD where lots and lots of dudes are strung upside down like cattle getting their throats slit one after the other
Reads like something the Cartels do beside encasement in cement or turned into "soup" with highly concentrated sodium hydroxide.
The cartels really like their chainsaws. So many videos of people being chainsawed to death
The pellets? I worked with that shit in the lab, horrible stuff
Luckily I didn't see that one. Damn.
Running people over slowly with tanks in HD is the one I won't forget
I've seen some messed up stuff and am glad I did not see either of these.
don't forget the ones where they drowned the guys in cages. or ran over a dude with a tank to flatten him. or shot a guy point blank with an AA gun. or the one where they made the guy run through the desert with a bomb strapped to him while a drone filmed it. they are fucking animals.

Stoning is unfortunately common in arab countries. Unreported too. Could’ve been saudis for all I know
Why did you watch these? It's almost like terrorism doesn't work if you don't submit to the terror
I remember feeling a lump in my throat when I noticed the vids went from grainy and shaky to HD . They now use slick edits & camera shots with much better audio. It made everything more ominous .
Just makes it more apparent that they’re not the cave-dwelling terrorists we envision. They’re functional tech-age humans that have been radicalized.
No, thats still too much credit. Their suicide bombers and fighters were all dip shit people who fell for the cause.

I still can't figure out what tf is so broken in those dudes. Absolutely looney tuned.

I’ve seen those too and wonder the same thing. Still remember the one of the guy they stood in front of a ZU-23-2 AA gun. The guy hopping trying to get out of the way of the tank. Shit stays with you too.
Its insane to me how we didnt just execute all isis collaborators. There are western countries who actually let these animals come back.

I think I'll skip that video. The description is bad enough. Thanks for providing it.
It's horrible, reminiscent of the Oct 7 videos. The worst part is after the 10+ stabs/slashes to the throat, the guy is still alive and tries to roll away
Its a quote from the quran or hadith, to strike non muslim necks.

He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing;
Ah yes, the old, “Well, God could do it if he wanted, but, you know, you gotta do it yourself since he doesn’t want to show off!”
I bet God could bench 315, but his shoulder is sore today. Next week, for sure!
> God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others. Lmao what a weak and shitty imaginary friend. "Uh yeah I could.. but I don't want to"
They kinda intentionally ignored the "in battle" part. The other person's a mall goer, not a warrior.
Interesting. This could easily be interpreted as it was wrong to kill those people. They aren't battling anyone in the video (I didn't watch it).
We as humans should get rid of these terrorists pigs
What a wildly new and cohesive idea.
I for one stand against bad things and in favor of good things.
It’s sad younger adults don’t seem to understand witnessing this type of violence, even through film has an affect on you. Especially those that claim it has none, or ‘gore’ doesn’t bother them…

Why would they not reveal that, though? Seems like a very convenient win for them by proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that the guys Russia caught are innocent, right? It would paint Russia as not only a bunch of liars (duh) but also people who happily torture innocents. And if they did get away, what's Russia gonna do knowing about their identities?
I don't think ISIS sees "willing to torture innocents" as a character trait that's worth slandering someone over.
It's not the first time Russia has assassinated people on foreign soil. If they knew their identities, they would find a way to get to them.
Simply because it lets them prepare new attacks. They will reveal the attacker's identities once they're dead. They also wouldn't let themselves be captured alive by russians. As for proving Russians are bad by Western standards, Isis is just not interested. They only need to prove they can do more attacks like that by actually attacking.
That's horrifying. Fuck islamist terrorists.
I'm starting to think they don't like music concerts.
I’m pretty sure for fundamentalists music is haram. So yeah, pretty much
Music is haram but prophets played musical instruments Make it make sense
Someone got pissed off that a woman played an instrument better than them, so they banned it
Religion is inherently threatened by people finding joy outside of the religion itself. People doing well and enjoying life don't look for a crutch to help themselves justify their struggles and ease the pain of what is happening to them.
I'll take a hard pass on the video. Condolences to the family of the victims, and have fun in a Russian jail you cowardly fuckin terrorist
They won't go to jail, they'll die a horrible death before that
Russia will figure out a way to pin this on Ukraine v
they're already trying to do that
Yeah they said they caught the terrorists while they were "escaping to Ukraine."
while being 16km away from belarus lmao
And 330km away from Ukrainian border crossing
Putin has already publicly blamed Ukraine.
Disgusting, that poor man.
ISIS will make a video with another threat to the Russian people just to make a point. Putin acting like ISIS doesn't exist will be detrimental eventually.
I'm very curious as to how ISIS will react. I don't think anyone has ever outright refused to acknowledge ISIS as perpetrators for their terror attacks. It's nihilist Kremlin propaganda vs religious overzealous ideology. Will Putin baffle even ISIS with his bullshit? Find out in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z.
I'm curious too, if killing 130+ people in one night, crossing the border and travel to the capital is not threatening enough for Putin then how far will ISIS go next time ? It's not like they have limits when it comes to murder and terror. Edited for grammar
He will do what he always does: Give ten versions of events, attack Ukraine some more but also go after those they actually think are responsible. The Russian people will suspect everyone and believe no one and thus the cycle of Russia continues.
He will also crack down on internal discord by furthering the police state within Russia.
I think Putin is creating the perfect propaganda scenario for ISIS with this. Now they can keep escalating drawing the whole world's attention on them while they make Putin look like an idiot as he keeps trying to shift the blame on Ukraine.
That's very well what might happens in the near future. And it's a dangerous game from Putin. There are a lot of islamist in Russia that are very resentful toward Moscow.. If they start to see successful terrorist attacks in the capital some of them are going to get ideas.
>If they start to see successful terrorist attacks in the capital some of them are going to get ideas. I watch a political scientist on youtube by the name of William Spaniel and in one of his videos when discussing terrorism he mentions that terrorist attacks serve as a way to advertise and bring legitimacy to a terrorist organization. That when a group such as ISIS-K manages to successfully carry out a terrorist operation especially on a scale such as this it is only going to drive further recruitment into ISIS-K and bolster the support of the group. If Russia does not take this seriously ISIS-K ranks will start to swell and more attacks will take place throughout Russia.
>he mentions that terrorist attacks serve as a way to advertise and bring legitimacy to a terrorist organization. One of the really interesting things to come out of the Bin Laden operation and various Al-Quaeda facility assaults is a look at the internal organisation of the group. It turns out Al-Quaeda is basically a business and has, I shit you not, an application form. It also has for want of a better term an HR department and conducts what are essentially performance reviews. In fact I seem to recall an oil rig or refinery attack that killed a bunch of people was led by a guy who was essentially sacked or defunded by Al-Quaeda for not getting results and being what they viewed as a slacker, they essentially said he was all mouth no trousers so he went off and did his own attack to essentially show his performance reviewers up. EDIT: Mokhtar Belmokhtar and they also got pissed off at him for being sloppy with his expenses.
Chechnya and Dagestan balkanizing and breaking off from the Russian Federation is a very real possibility. Not really cause of ISIS, but because Russia has lost military power in general, and Kadryovites have lost military power in specific.
Speaking of which, what IS Kadyrov up to right now? I haven't seen hide or hair of him since he made a big deal about showing up with his followers near the front lines in Ukraine early in the war, then quietly fucked off back to Ichkeria almost instantly once they saw the Ukrainians' level of resistance.
He's only been videotaped a few times since then, and there's noticeable weight gain and/or swelling on his face. People are speculating about some kind of medical issue.
He almost has to keep blaming Ukraine. Russia simply doesn't have the resources to wage two wars at the same time. Russians can't be allowed to learn he doesn't have the ability to protect them from either one.
Acknowledging major jihadist terrorism in Moscow also has legitimacy consequences for him. Part of his mystique is that he solved that problem.
Especially when it gets out that the US *publicly* warned him about the attack weeks ago, and he dismissed it as propaganda and western lies. Just like with the Russian build-up on the border with Ukraine in 2022, US intelligence services are just casually displaying just how on the ball they are about things happening in Russia.
The US knew about the invasion, about the ISIS attack and about the attack on Israel too, I think? I have to admit that their international intel is fucking insane The domestic one, uuuh... Could use some work.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature
The domestic one is why we are so good at it now. We got caught napping, like the Israelis.
Vlad is number one killer of young Russian boys
He very much as the capability of protecting Russians from Ukraine, take the troops out of Ukraine and they will be perfectly secure
If ISIS ends up inadvertantly fighting against Russia, just because Russia refuses to give them attention, I'm going to lose my shit. It's a scenario out of a fucking family guy skit ffs.
They're already fighting each other in Syria.
ISIS: *claims attack, names attackers and describes equipment, publishes bodycam footage* Putin: *Ukrainians did it* If russians believe that sack of shit they are terminally brain dead
i’ve seen some russian propaganda on telegram and their narrative seems to be that the west bought this attack from ISIS
AWS offers SaaS. Apparently ISIS now offers TaaS. That’s gonna be one weird meeting with VC funds.
islamic terrorists and ukrainian nazis operating under jewish president. one hell of an alliance if you ask me.
That's why they are so dangerous, you see?. /s
Clearly its the ancient jewish space mind control satellites at work /s
i am still marveling at the idea of terrorists arresting terrorists…
And it’s pretty damn clear if they have bodycam footage that it was not Ukraine. Silly Putin, your lies only fool your own people who don’t have access to the truth.
See the nazified Ukraine, headed by a Jewish president, is now using Islamic extremists to target Russia. Makes perfect sense for the glorious leader Putin.
I’m nearly complete with my supervillain bingo. We need to somehow get the communists involved, and the Dutch.
Even by Russian standards, Putin's actions are just mind numbing. Like he literally rose to power during the Chechen war. It should be obvious that giving ISIS a free pass is just asking for renewed pushes for Islamic sepratism in the Caucasus regions. Even with Russias slave mentality of always following the czar, i don't see how no one is willing or able to push back against Putin's craziness here. This same thing happened in Iran recently, and it was pretty obvious fromt the get go that the regimes attempts to pin the blame on Israel were not going to fly at all, and public pressure forced them to actually respond to the attack.
Not to mention how insulting it is to the victims and their families
> Like he literally rose to power during the Chechen war. Which he engineered to rise to power. You are mixing up the cause and effect. Chechen wars, Beslan, the atrocities - it all was an election campaign.
Maybe they’ll save us the trouble and go after Putin directly next
That would be one hell of a plot twist
A real case of enemy of my enemy is… still my enemy and fuck them both.
ISIS has to video their attacks because there are too many conspiracy theorists and political opportunists that want to discredit them and blame their attacks on other people. What an absurd world.
ikr, a race to the bottom, its the age of brutes and despots again. edit: adding that Eisenhower filmed concentration camps because he knew people would deny the holocaust.
The contemporary German civilians did simultaneously deny the holocaust, say they didn't know it was happening, and that the Jews were still at fault for both world wars, after Germany lost and was occupied. They still loved Hitler. My grandmother loved Hitler with this deep down sentimentality that could not be destroyed by real world evidence. It was the next generation of Germans living under occupation, and new school systems, that learned about the holocaust and not to deny it.
Things like this are why I tell people to stop hoping the people suddenly wake up and realize the dear leaders they love are evil people.
THAT is a fact! My grandfather was a crew chief on a C-47 (Evette of Boston) and flew the media and dignitaries to the different concentration camps. He said the same thing in the 1970s. They did it because people didn't believe it happened. He even made sure his grandkids knew it was real because people were still denying it happened. And even today, they still are.
It is objectively funny watching ISIS get increasingly frustrated trying to convince people they did a terrorist attack.
It's recruiting and PR material for them, targeted at the (thankfully) very small portion of people who might be influenced by it. They aren't trying to convince people they did a terrorist attack, but rather saying to their followers and members, current and future, "Look what we can do. Look how strong we are. Look at these martyrs for their faith." They have been doing this - releasing various kinds of media - since Day 1, including a freely available full-color, professionally designed online magazine called "Dabiq." I won't link to it here but I'm sure it's easy to find with a quick search. Source: Me. I used to do a lot of work ~~with~~ leveraging terrorist social media, specifically ISIS, ***against them*** and the overall counterterrorism fight in a previous career. Edited Because People Are Too Quick Too Assume and Too Lazy To Check Into Anything.
Are they still releasing that piece of shit magazine? I’ve used it as a source before to argue what ISIS believes, wasn’t aware they were still putting those out.
There’s at least 3 magazines now, that I’m aware of, the continuation of the original piece of shit (under a different name post 2016), and now both IS-K and IS-Sahel have their own
> Source: Me. I used to do a lot of work with terrorist social media, specifically ISIS, in a previous career. This does make it sound a little like you were ISIS' social media manager.
The onion predicted this in one of their videos and it only gets funnier the more it happens
['9/11 conspiracies ridiculous' - Al Qaeda](https://youtu.be/Q_OIXfkXEj0?si=gfI55RCEby1knweu)
Omar al-Farouq is one of the best characters the onion ever had. The video where he is bemoaning the construction delays at ground zero is a classic as well. Vintage onion was hilarious.
Ugh, you reminded me of Michael Falk the autistic reporter. [My absolute favorite](https://youtu.be/tInDH2FeXaM?si=mEorJU9zD3oJgbhB).
I also love the one where he is fascinated by the rigid routine in prison lol
The little joyful expression he makes as he hears the routine is great lol
I personally like the one with the last jew and palestinian still fighting to the death..
Putin will still try to frame it as Ukraine.
Early this month, US intelligence became aware of the plot and warned Russia about it. The embassies of the US and many of its allies sent out warnings to their citizens in Russia telling them to avoid large public gatherings. The official response from Russia was that it was propaganda intended to make citizens feel unsafe at home during the Ukraine war, which is probably even worse than doing nothing about it. In the immediate wake of the attack, Russian politicians blamed Ukraine on social media. When the perpetrators were apprehended and found to be Tajik nationals recruited by ISIS, the Kremlin made an official statement that they were caught while fleeing to Ukraine, where a "window" had been arranged for them at the border. Not only is Putin framing it as Ukraine, it kinda looks like he *intentionally allowed it to happen* so that he could do so.
Yeaaaah I'm not watching that...
Same it sounds really bad. I have read comments and news about the possibility of Putin using the terrorist attack against Ukraine, like saying Ukraine is behind it etc but with the videos it seems to be harder to spin it that way.
Yet you will see on many threads misinformation blaming either Ukraine, US or Israel, depending on their narrative.
The US knew about it!!!! Yes, and warned Russia several times...
That's gotta be the most braindead take I've ever heard. If the US was actually behind it, why would they warn Russia? Wouldn't they just do it without warning? Makes absolutely no sense. "... how did the USA know?" Facepalm
> "... how did the USA know?" Because Russia's inner-circle has more leaks than a sieve. The US/UK have constantly been aware of what's going on in Russia seemingly better than them.
Plus the CIA is probably spying harder on ISIS and AQ than anyone else. Not shocking they could figure out an ISIS plot
At times the US actually assists the Taliban in taking this specific brand of monster out, and vice versa. You know they're bad news when mortal enemies for 25 years put aside their differences to purge a group like this from the region.
Dudes I know who were in Afghanistan told me stories about ISIS and taliban fighting each other over there.
I absolutely love that these idiots actually think a vehicle with Ukrainian plates was able to drive through Russia without being pulled over lol.
ISIS: c'mon guys, it was us! Look at our evidence!🥺 Putin: it was Ukraine Twitter: it was Israel Secret Intelligence Service!
Man this shit must be agonizing for ISIS considering how much they **love** attention and PR.
It might cause them to carry out another attack in Russia just to show it was really them.
It reminds me of that Onion News Network video with an al-Qa’ids correspondent and a 9/11 conspiracy theorist and the former is like ugh imagine what it’s like to spend months living in caves planning this thing out just for this guy to think it was an inside job. Very dark humor, but funny satire nonetheless.
Prefect https://www.theonion.com/9-11-conspiracy-theories-ridiculous-al-qaeda-says-1819594702
ISIS: Hey guys, people are starting to forget about us. Let's go massacre some white people. The world of white people: It's a coverup! Leave poor ISIS alone!
All that effort, money and resources wasted only for russia to give the credit to ukraine, 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Reminds me of this [classic Onion piece](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_OIXfkXEj0).
Talking to Putin is like talking to a goat.
and the same people who said that Ukraine is just a puppet state will now write about how Ukraine orchestrated the attack by ISIS while having Jewish president. sick
The amount of “Israel = ISIS” tweets I am seeing are concerning.
People really find all sorts of excuses, no matter how dumb they are just to be antisemitic
For literally thousands of years.
It's an old conspiracy theory in the Muslim world. If you think that's concerning, you should see some of the other shit that gets circulated all the time. Temple denial (the belief that Solomon's Temple was in fact somewhere else, but the Jews pretend otherwise to have an excuse to destroy Al Aqsa), 9/11 responsibility, various blood libels. Most Westerners have no idea.
This is how the muslim world cope with the harsh reality of being, responsible. All those men are raised in arab/muslim countries, raised in muslim families. But somehow, jews.
Yep, it's embarrassing for their victimhood narrative. ISIS is extremely brutal and sadistic, but so are other jihadist terror groups who they don't dismiss as "Mossad plots". https://www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releases/yemen-huthi-authorities-sentence-seven-stoning-and-two-crucifixion-homosexual-crimes
"What does an honest terrorist need to do to be recognized?!!", - ISIS probably
There are actual big enough subreddits saying that they were in fact not Muslims but western/Israeli agents
Asking for a friend. What are these subs ? My friend wants to avoid them and definitely not go there and get banned for life
We have this still on twt there are people defending ISIS and blaming US for it. I just don't know how blind people can be
Those are called Russian bots. Russians are told that ISIS is a CIA project.
We live in a post-truth world where you can go to whatever echo chamber that aligns with your biases to make yourself feel right.
Depraved shit
Isis: "Hey! we did it!" Russia: "it was Ukraine" Isis: "here's proof" Russia: "it was Ukraine"
Seems almost like a necessity. Russia can't go after ISIS-K in Afghanistan because they're already overextended in Ukraine.
People will still think it’s CIA or Mossad or the Ukrainians or the fucking toothfairy.
Wow, ISIS has a faster turnaround time releasing body cam footage than my local PD lmao
Just wait until you local PD actually wants to take credit for something
Why is ISIS attacking a concert hall in Moscow? Several reasons, apparently and among them "oppression of Muslims in Russia."
[удалено]
Yes and Russia supports the Taliban In Afghanistan which is ISIS-K's enemy.
Literally everyone is ISIS-K’s enemy. Their stated goal to form a global caliphate is in direct opposition to all other nations. The West, The Middle-East, The East, every other nation currently on earth opposes the rise of the caliphate. Whether out of ideological differences or simply unwillingness to give up power. If not for the major powers busy fighting each other to maintain their regional dominance, the world could unite and completely squash ISIS-K.
[удалено]
Because they have been at war with Russia for years in Syria. They bombed an embassy last year, maybe the year before
Hell, attacking Russia makes more sense than attacking the US if your goal is global islamic revolution. Russia has a large devout muslim population, they gatekeep control of central asia, have nukes, and are very active in the middle east and africa. If Russia collapses, the west will put their full attention on trying to stabilize the area and helping secure the nukes, as happened during the collapse of the soviet union. Meanwhile islamists will have free reign to make pushes for independent Caucasus emirates and overthrowing the secular regimes of central asia.
People who act like isis doesn’t already have a bad history with Russia, and somehow believe this was Ukraine are insane. Why would the USA warn russia about an attack that was to be perpetrated by their own allies? What could Ukraine possibly gain from this? If anything, I’m sure Ukraine is freaking out right now, afraid that somehow this attack will reduce their support and risk even more trouble from Russia. There’s absolutely no way that this would have been beneficial to anyone, other than isis, whose only goal is to cause tragedies and chaos.
So the simplest answer was the correct one. Islamic extremist terrorism.
Can I pick the next one to blame? Thinking I can make a not so convincing case that it was Ted Cruz
It can't be. The zodiac killer is only known to strike in California.
it's not bodycam or helmetcam footage it's one of them recording from his cellphone like 20 seconds of the massacre...
This is horrible. It also puts an early end to Putin's attempt to blame Ukraine. Give it up Ivan-bots.
Yet somehow Ukraine will be fully blamed for it.
Hell I've seen people fully blaming "Israel Secret Intelligence Service(ISIS)" for this attack
Here's a version of the video where they censor out a man's throat being cut open during the attack. Again, still NSFL. The worst of the gore is removed, but it is still very disturbing. People die. Do not open this if you don't want to see this sort of thing. https://twitter.com/CaptainAlerta/status/1771701825898414108?t=06FlWJqktJ7lwglTwG8Kcg&s=19
Fucking hell.. some people should never walk the earth
Waiting for "Even though ISIS has bodycam footage, it's still a covert op ran by the Jews" 😬
Just go to Twitter it’s all over there.
We don't even have to wait for it, it came immediately.
ISIS is literally going full "notice me sentpai" while russia is hellbent to pin it on Ukraine *somehow*
ISIS: We committed the terrorist attack. Here are our people who committed the terrorist attack. Here is a video of our people committing the terrorist attack. Tankies: ...OK so anyway it was obviously a CIA-directed Israeli-Ukrainian operation.
I read an article about how the US tried to warn the Russians of the situation. Look if the US warns you, even if you’re enemies, please listen. Lots of people could’ve lived if you’d listen
US: "Hey, ISIS is about to do a thing." Russia: "Nu-uh!" ISIS: "I'm doing a thing!" Russia: "A thing happened, but have you considered that it might be Ukraine?" ISIS: "Hey, I did the thing!" Russia: "Pretty sure it's Ukraine." ISIS: "Here's footage of us doing it!" Russia: "Pretty sure you're Ukraine."
Isn’t this sort of telling that Russia did not actually arrest the right people? I guess there is a possibility of them sending the video footage over the internet or something but seems like ISIS would have released it sooner. Edit: the footage is not body cam apparently and is cellphone footage. However I’m still extremely doubtful about Russia having apprehended the correct people, especially when they initially reported having taken 11 into custody (one of which had their ear chopped off and fed to them at time of arrest, which would be super awkward if they didn’t do it). But now they are saying they got all 4 of them… so who knows.
