> Russia moving in under the pretense of ridding the region of ISIS is like the Mafia moving to your neighborhood under the pretense of moving out a violent street gang, then setting up a permanent base there to do Mob “business”.
30 years ago the Mafia did move into my neighborhood and eliminated the gangs and local crime. They were very good neighbors and took care of things. The neighborhood was quite, reserved, clean and safe.

Well, goody-goody for you. What about the rest of the city and country? The millions of dead or ruined lives as a result of their drug business, the high crime rate as a result of their drug business? The jacked-up prices we pay on so many things as a result of their muscling legit business owners? And all the other dirty and evil things they do that seriously hurt the country, outside of your wonderful little neighborhood that is.
BTW: I live within about 10 blocks from where many of your heroes now lie buried: St John Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens (New York).
