The Russian republic of Dagestan is in mourning after at least 20 people were killed in coordinated shootings targeting churches, synagogues and police posts.

Dagestan is a predominantly Muslim republic in southern Russia, which neighbours Chechnya.

  6. The whole world know the US Israel EU playbooks of creating chaos and civil unrest everywhere in the world. By using Islam name merc as scapegoat, that's getting lame

  11. And the west is still in denial that the radical islamists in Gaza are innocent , they are waging war against Jews and Christian’s the world over . When is everyone going to actually wake up

  13. The attacks show that Ukraine is a desperate criminal and its partners in crime are frustrated because they're losing.

    Of course Russia's going to be distracted…. They're up against the entire NATO bloc and its backers. LOL

  15. Taking the names of Islamist and blaming them is insane and radical thinking and short mindedness of you people.

  16. We hold Chinese 🇨🇳 Xi Jinping accountable for the damages caused by the Russian invasion
    because of his "no limits" support for Putin.

  17. Russians are constantly forcing Zelenskyy to move his depleted reserves to try to plug next hole. It's a part of a strategy of aggressive attrition. Due to successful implementation of this strategy Ukrainian losses increased to 14,000 a week. It's simply unsustainable for Ukraine. Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration . “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945.

  18. Who else? The disturbing but familiar scenes of the Uyghurs dragged into one of 380 Xinjiang camps in China 🇨🇳 for:
    – having a beard,
    – wearing a veil,
    – applying for a passport,
    – possessing a Quran,
    – praying,
    – downloading WhatsApp or
    – having too many children.

  25. This news really knew the whole story right away 😂 seems kinda odd this propaganda came little too fast 😂 gave itself away

  27. Seemed like when russia started a war 2 years ago now it's finally experiencing more terrorist attacks… hmmm, something fishy going on… watch Chechenia go to war again

  34. Putin want to copy the western
    For supply weapons to Ukraine
    He said he too will supply weapons to N korea
    😂😂is N korea in war ??
    His comparison are just laughable , he invaded Ukraine it’s natural that support will go to Ukraine to get him out of Ukraine territory ,he also been say that Ukraine been attack crimea his territory. Kill people at the beach 😂😂😂😂😂he been kill Ukraine civilian since feb 2022
