Episode 3874: JIHAD IN UKRAINE!

Radical Islamist terrorists have taken sides, joining Russian and Ukrainian troops, and ending up fighting each other. It’s the new ‘counterterrorism’! Indeed, Ukraine has become a war zone - not just for Russian and Ukrainian troops - but for seemingly anyone who wants a cause (or excuse) to fight: a socially acceptable reason to kill or be killed (like ’suicide by cop’). Representatives from Russia and Ukraine just met in Turkey, and seemed to arrive at a glimmer of hope for progress in resolving the war. Ironically, however, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is simultaneously rallying Turks in the EU to "work harder” to advance “the causes of Allah.” Just like Putin wants to reconstitute the USSR, Erdogan’s ambition of global conquest comes in the form of a revived Ottoman Empire. Soon after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, various terrorist groups - starting with a Twitter account associated with Al Qaeda - began debating whether to enter the war - and on whose side. You will hear about 5 different terrorist groups and why they are fighting for Russia, Ukraine or both at the same time. And there are reports of white supremacists and Nazis, who are also divided as to which side they join. Unfortunately, Ukraine has become the new hub for transnational terror, which may continue even after the invasion has resolved. Meanwhile, terrorists from the Middle East and Africa, are causing collateral damage by mixing with refugees fleeing Ukraine, and lying about their identity in order to cross illegally into European countries kind enough to welcome the refugees. Terrorists are also sneaking into the shelters of these refugees to rape the women and children, causing them to want to return to Ukraine!
