When it comes to foes Israel, US, France, UK, Germany, Netherlands; KSA, UAE should top the list.
unless someone else is pulling the strings and using them to advance their geopolitical agendas. terror attacks abroad have almost no impact on rallying support in the regions they want control over.
I imagine those other targets are in much better positions to prevent such attacks right now. Russia is kind of busy elsewhere, so maybe they were seen as a better target with a higher chance of pulling off an attack.

It would be ISIS’s wet fucking dream for Russia to honestly believe the west was directly or indirectly responsible for this.
For your conspiracy theory to be plausible you need to suspend the expectation that ISIS would operate in their own best interests. Usually a bad bet.
