Why would the Russians warn us of a terrorist attack like this? They butt into every conflict we get involved in always supplying the other side usually. So are we kind of sort of friends? Or do they just hate the Chechens more?

Probably goes back to the Cold War days. They didn't want to be accused of carrying out an attack they had nothing to do with.

Yer kiddin', right? This is excellent PR for them. They had the data, informed us, and we didn't do shit with it. The ultimate 'I told you so!'

Nations don't have friends, they have interests.
It's not in the Russians interest to stand by while we're attacked by terrorists. Their opposition to our policy goals isn't motivated by animosity towards us, it's just a reflection of their interests, which do not always coincide with ours. |

We should have suspected something when their message ended with, "Tag, you're it!"

Not really, the Russian view is the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim, at least the Muslim males anyway. Like in Syria where they sell to Asaad and donate to the rebels. We will neither vacate this conflict nor are we willing to do what would be necessary to end it. I think the Russians got it right this time. We should sell weapons to all sides and keep the Muslim on Muslim killing going as long as possible, but do nothing directly ourselves meaning NO AMERICAN BOOTS ON THE GROUND there. |

They want us to tell them how much we know so they can reverse engineer our intel abilities.

Dagis are the new Chechens. I love to see Dagis getting eliminated. |

The Russians are not our friends. If they did anything that appeared to help us it is because it harmed a bigger enemy than are we.

I figure Putin was rubbing one out as he called the red phone to "chat" with Barry about the situation.

You can always count on the Russias to do whatever is in their best interest.
It is fact they have no love for muslims and they dont want us nosing around in Chechnya. MPD165 |

Wouldn't be shocked if they engineered this as a way to make us more responsive to their needs in terms of us giving them info/support in their war on people that are a pain in their ass.
But I'm cynical by nature |
