Putin's warning to terrorists

Oct 14, 7:59 AM (ET)

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Rebels who try to attack Russian targets in future will be decisively crushed, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday after his security forces killed scores of gunmen who attacked the southern town of Nalchik.

"Our actions must be commensurate with all the threats that bandits pose for our country. We will act as toughly and consistently as we did on this occasion," Itar-Tass news agency quoted Putin as saying.

This guy is no Boy Scout, but you have to appreciate that comment.

I don't care how he says it, as long as he is killing those people, its a good thing...

I'm no real fan of Russia, but in this case I say...Mother Russia, unshackle your sons hands and let them wipe this scourge from the face of the earth....

Git some....

I pity the fool who does not take Vlad seriously. They will regret it.

you know, the subtlety and relative innocuousness of putin's statement should have the chechen scum filling their boots with warm urine...i'd be less afraid if he was jumping up and down screaming "kill! kill! kill!"

"vlad the impaler" 21st century-style?

damn, this is true. but do you think the incidents starting with 9/11 may have created an environment where he'd feel a little freer to let his freak flag fly?

My only question is, "Why haven't they crushed them yet?"

No $, no military? What's the deal. After that school fiasco I would have thought there'd be a spetsnaz in every tree in Cheznia.

He talked tough after the Beslan school massacre too, but what actions did they take?

Many russian women are tougher than many American men.

I wouldn't mess with them.
