Russian military forces in Syria are destroying militants who have openly declared Russia to be their enemy and who do not conceal their plans to expand their activities onto territory of CIS countries, said Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. This statement was posted on February 20 on Kremlin’s web site.
“Our armed forces ought to be in constant readiness to quickly and appropriately react to potential threats, counter any provocation and aggression,” Putin said during his speech marking the Fatherland Defender’s Day celebrations at the Kremlin.Pretty much echoes G. W. Bush's, “We’re taking the fight to the terrorists abroad, so we don’t have to face them here at home.” The difference is that the threat is a lot more immediate to Russia than the US owing to geography and demographics.

Putin is an idiot when it comes to dealing with the Islamic world, but I suppose he's merely expressing the Russian mentality towards different cultures. Xenophobic at home and colonizers abroad. May they reap the whirlwind yet again.
