In a recent article, Stephen Green highlighted the escalating tension between Russia, Ukraine, and Islamic terrorists. Putin’s warnings about the potential downfall of the Russian state following a defeat in Ukraine were quickly overshadowed by a terror attack on Orthodox churches and synagogues in Russia. The article emphasized the threat posed by Islamic extremism within Russian borders, particularly in the North Caucasus region.
Green pointed to the Kremlin’s tendency to deflect blame, with Russian officials attributing the attacks to external forces, including Ukraine. The article painted a picture of Russian intelligence being preoccupied with the conflict in Ukraine while facing security challenges on multiple fronts, including attacks in Europe. The narrative suggested that Putin’s actions in Ukraine had inadvertently emboldened anti-Western powers like Islam and Communist China.

The piece drew attention to China’s naval ambitions and the perceived decline of Western military strength in comparison. It criticized the West, particularly the U.S., for neglecting its naval capabilities and succumbing to what was described as “Woke nonsense.” Green argued that Putin’s focus on Ukraine had left Russia vulnerable to external influences, especially Chinese economic dominance.
Overall, the article underscored the need for the West to reassert its strength and unity in the face of growing threats from Islamic terrorism and geopolitical rivals. It painted a grim picture of a world where Western powers appeared to be self-destructive while highlighting the importance of addressing internal and external security challenges with seriousness and resolve.
