You have to love the "our own" war on terror bit ... I mean, after all, we're talking about Moscow, our key ally in the War on Terror, the first to make a call of condolence (like some meticulous Mafia boss who ordered the hit) and host of the first internationale against terror.
Just like they served as host and primary source of funding for the first Internationale for Terror in Havana, Cuba (1966) ... our men dying in ignominy already in Viet Nam whilst Soviets and Chicoms set up terrorist training camps within spitting distance of Gitmo and used Cuba as launchpad to Latin America which ought to start blowing like a North Korea waterworks project any day now.
"...like some meticulous Mafia boss who ordered the hit..."
Great analogy.
