If this is true, and I'm not saying it is nor am I saying I agree with their mentality (as a Christian I am against nukes), I would imagine Putin is looking at this like a numbers game. If he nukes the area and kills thousands/tens of thousands of them, then it is worth it to him I guess. Whatever is left would be scattered, small, and relatively leaderless, not to mention anyone who saw that explosion and lived to talk about it would be too scared to continue the Jihad, but then again Muslims that to these attacks don't seem to get scared away from things despite pain and death so who knows.
This whole situation is just terrible and sad and infuriating all at the same time.
