It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Ukraine has nothing to win by doing this, why would they? ISIS has targeted Russia before, consider that there are many muslim regions within Russia that are not fans of the government.
Ukraine has done a lot of hopeless attacks in Russian territory with no real military aim, but with a stated purpose of maybe destabilizing society. So it's not a surprise that islamists turned ukrainian citizens and soldiers would carry out a terror attack in Moscow, if for no other reason than the fact that this isn't even the first time it happened. In the past, Zelensky has gone so far as to claim that the russians of Ukraine and Donetsk are so shook that Ukraine is already winning the psychological war. This was before the big offensive though.
What does ISIS have to gain by this? Ukraine winning the war is at least less unlikely than the Moscow Caliphate.
The same as with any terror attack they committed I guess, I don't see how attacking Moscow is much different than attacking Paris for them, they declared war on basically the whole world.
