Are they TRYING to piss off every militant, autocratic country in the world? Russia, China, Japan, who else can they piss off?

It's almost like:

"Let's capture some US people!!!"

*US people captured*

*Some scuffle later, prisoners released*

"That's no good. We need more attention! Let's go capture some Japanese!!"

*Japanese civillians captured*

*Some scuffle later, prisoners released*

"That's still no good! We need even more attention! Let's go capture some Russians!!"

*Russians captured/killed*

*Russian troops move in with smoke grenades and overwhelming firepower*

"Oh shit..."

I was of the understanding the KGB takes the reprisals out on the families of the kidnappers...Kind of a comes around, goes around.

Can someone explain to me the logic of kidnapping Russians if there are no Russian troops there? Idiots.

Yeah, funny joke among KGB people that is.

Ok, will Putin really call down the whirlwind over this? Or will he just prod the US?

Maybe the same idiotic idea they had kidnapping Chineses,they're Islamic fundies logic does not exist when you hate Americans so much.

Would Putin call for action only if public outcry was loud enough, or would he lay the smackdown simply on principle?

I don't think the words "militant" and "autocratic" accurately describe modern Japan. Those two words do fit Russia and China quite well, however...

I hope that if these people are captured, they will be turned over to Russia. After that, I hope they do to them what they do to militants in Chechnya.

Have a very nice day.

It's more likely they'll handle this in their own special way.

Story goes that during the wave of hostage-takings in Lebanon during the 80s, one of the terrorist groups grabbed two Russians. As soon as word got out, the KGB went to work. They found out anybody who was connected to the group and snatched one of them off the street in Beirut. Later, the terrorists get a package at their headquarters. Inside it is the head of the man the KGB grabbed, with a shield-pin tacked on. Later that day, a car pulls up in front of the Soviet embassy long enough to kick out the two Russians, none the worse for wear.

Purely anecdotal, but illustrative of the Russian approach to problems like this.

Someone over there has a real hardon for dying for Allah, seems that they forgot that the Russians fuck around even less than we do. I say put a standing invitation to the SVR and FSB to send some squads down and show these fuckwads a thing or two

Voyager traveled back in time, due to super advanced 27thish century ship(source of Doctor's mobile emitter) Tom Paris, in an attempt to bullshit his way past a 20th century native, claims to be working for the government to stop a KGB plot. When the modernite says that the KGB has been disbanded for years, he replies "That's what they want you to think".

[disembodied voice from behind severed head of baghdad bob] there are no kgb operatives in baghdad. iraqi insurgents released the russian prisoners as a gesture of goodwill.
