NATO MEDIA BLAMES RUSSIA FOR VOLGOGRAD ATTACKS

Earlier this year Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the intelligence chief of that utopia of freedom, democracy and human rights, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, met with Vladimir Putin. Bandar issued a threat to Putin: if Putin would dump Assad then the KSA would sign a very large deal to buy Russian weapons and Russia would be allowed to operate in The Middle East; if not, then he, Bandar, would unleash Islamic terrorists onto the Sochi Winter Olympics, and he would also create hell on earth in Lebanon and Syria.

Putin declined this lovely offer.

Since that offer was rejected Bandar has delivered on his threat: Lebanon has seen an escalation in terrorism; Syria suffered a horrific false flag at Ghouta which was blamed on Assad; and we are now seeing the Islamic terrorists being unleashed onto the Sochi Winter Olympics.

Two terrorist attacks by Islamic suicide bombers have killed tens of Russian civilians in the South Russian city of Volgograd. An earlier car attack in a town close to Sochi killed three civilians.

The NATO media is already displaying its anti Russia position.

The editorial in The Guardian blames Putin for the terrorist attacks in Volgograd, not once mentioning Prince Bandar bin Sultan's threat:
That does not mean they will not soon try to close in on Sochi itself. Mr Putin's record in combating Muslim extremism is not a good one. The invasion of Chechnya that he ordered in 1999 exacerbated and spread opposition across the Caucasus. A high price has already been paid for his and his predecessor Boris Yeltsin's mistakes in the region. Let us hope it does not rise even higher at Sochi.

The Independent's editorial blames Russia in general, again without mentioning Bandar's threat:
Whether Russia can ever restore lasting peace in the North Caucasus is doubtful. It lacks the manpower to keep all the republics in lockdown simultaneously. Nor is the policy of periodically replacing obdurate local leaders with pliant ones effective.

In a sense, Russia is paying a delayed price for those colonial 19th-century wars – in which Tolstoy took part and wrote about – which have saddled Russia with lands that it can neither absorb nor relinquish. Regrettably, violence looks set to continue, even if not in Sochi.

This anti-Russia editorial is backed up by a long piece written by a musician(!) which is sympathetic to the Islamic terrorists by describing their plight against the Russian Empire. But again, there is no mention of Prince Bandar bin Sultan's threat to unleash Islamic terrorists onto the Sochi Winter Olympics.
