What is going on, are they just doing this to muddy the water? I can’t imagine ISIS is actually planning attacks on European soil that makes 0 sense.

    Why do you mean when you day “you can’t imagine ISIS planning attacks on European soil? That is their absolute bread and butter, do you not remember the various bombing and shootings that killed hundreds of people? The Paris shooting, the Brussels bombing, the Nice shooting, the London bombing, the Manchester Stadium bombing, etc.

    There have been dozens of attacks in the last 10 years.

      ISIS, a violent deranged religious fundamentalist organization, is doing random violence for the sake of it, how can this be? soviet-hmm

      This community’s reaction to this latest attack has been weird as fuck tbh.

        Honestly I think it’s because everyone expected it to be Ukraine, and having ISIS or Chechens appear was absolutely not anticipated at all by anyone.

        It might be reasonable to say that Ukraine had no part in this and ISIS saw a target of opportunity while Russia was distracted, and that’s something that no one expected.
