So we’re all preparing for World War 3: the Final Apocalypse!, which will in fact be filmed live on YouTube, according to the law, and starring… well, all of us, really. I was going to play Schwarzenegger, but due to my recent shrinkage, I’ll now play Tom Cruise instead. The ante was upped on the weekend with an attack in Moscow by ISIS (allll-eggggg-edly) in which 134 innocent Russians were brutally murdered. How on earth did they manage to find 134 innocent Russians? Who knew there were that many? But murder them they did. Putin immediately blamed Ukraine. Well, why not, he blames them for most things. Then ISIS not only claimed responsibility but showed video proof. So Putin changed his tack and claimed ISIS did it ‘on behalf of Kiev’. Because he needs to maintain that narrative for ‘his people’ lest they think him to be a murderous, tyrannical warmonger sending their sons to their death in Ukraine.

It is now suggested that the attackers were part of what is known as ‘ISIS-K’, which is very much like ISIS but a bit more… K-ish. They come from Afghanistan and they fucking hate the Taliban. Because they’re too… errrr… well, murderous, too hard-line, right-wing-Sharia, Islamist, fundamentalist Muslim… which is a bit different to ISIS-K who are more… hmmmm.

ISIS-K perpetrated a suicide bombing last year at a mosque in Kabul in protest (they ‘protest’ a bit differently over there, less posters, more Semtex) against the Taliban. And they hate Russia. Not just because everyone hates Russia, but because of the military aid Putin gave to Assad to try to rid Syria of ISIS. Ok, while they were there they murdered tens of thousands of non-ISIS Syrians who happened to oppose Assad, but their stated mission was ‘destroy ISIS’. Or, at least halve them, so they became just IS. So there’s ‘history’ there.

But attacking Russia? I mean… it’s Russia! The meanest, nastiest, lyingest, vile-est, warring-est, nuclearest, biggest horrible nation on the planet. Its like a flea attacking an bear. And yet Russia can’t retaliate. Because like Hamas, like Al Quaeda, like so many of these similar yet disparate groups, they exist nowhere but everywhere. They are merely an ideology. And even Putin can’t bomb, destroy or put troops into an ideology. If there was an ‘Islamic State’, he’d have a target, but there isn’t. The four dudes wot done it appeared in court looking in… not the best of health, after their ‘interrogation’. One was missing an ear. Another was unconscious in a wheelchair. The other two looked ‘worse for wear’. Russia doesn’t have a ‘no torture’ agreement with anyone. And how much sympathy can you feel for four deluded morons who’ve just murdered 134 people? And who would torture you without a moment’s hesitation.

Everyone else seems to have missed this massive point along the way, but Putin will now get it. That Radical Islamic organisations are there to promote death. They live for it. Ironically. And stirred up by religious fervour, there are no limits to the death they’ll spread. Israel alone is not allowed to defend itself from the repeated threat of ‘total annihilation’ of all its people. The UN ‘won’t allow it’s. But they can’t stop Russia.

Happy Wednesday
