An affiliate of ISIS has claimed responsibility.

Maybe.

In this world of international chess playing, what other nation
would benefit by having ISIS blamed for taking down a Russian
civilian airplane?

Hmmmmmm........


Are you planning on changing your handle to Glenn Beck?


Nope. This conspiracy theory is mine ... all mine ... :-)

But just think. Putin enjoys widespread support in Russia.
If the ISIS affiliate story sticks, he'll be under heavy
pressure to step up military strikes against ISIS and probably
put pressure on his only ally, Iran, to do the same.

If that works, we can quietly pack our bags and exit stage right.


I just finished watching Zakaria and Mike Hayden pointed out this
bombing (assuming that is what it is) will affect the Sisi government
in Cairo as much as anyone. They are on the ISIS hit list too.
