Russians are now fighting ISIS and they are good at it. Who cares about Russian's past, as long as they can fight ISIS, let them fight.
Russians are not fighting ISIS.

Foreign Minister Lavrov says they are

Sep 2014
Russia said Friday that it would help to support Iraq in the fight against ISIS. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the pledge to Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said via state-run news agency Itar-Tass. "During the meeting, Lavrov confirmed Russia’s support for Iraq’s independence, territory integrity and sovereignty," the foreign ministry said. "Moscow is ready to continue supporting Iraq in its efforts in fighting the terrorist threat, and, first of all, the one from the Islamic State."

Nearly 1,700 Russian nationals are believed to be fighting alongside militants of the Islamic State group in Iraq, according to Alexander Bortnikov, director of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).

the media is not creating this news nor are they alleging it. US intel officials are. focus.

If there is any saving grace to this, it's hopefully that Russia takes the kid gloves off and turns the whole Middle East into a parking lot. I wouldn't put it past Russia to have a false flag attack just to allow them to do so.

Who is 'they?' Were there a lot of people on this Egyptian flight that shot the Malaysian airliner down?

You are truly a rather disturbed individual. You say, 'oh well' that an airplane with 200 completely innocent people blew up in mid air bc the corrupt gov't hey live under may have shot down an airliner last year (and likely accidentally).
