I don't see this as a bad thing. Putin hates the Islamic fundamentalists more than our government. He has no problem providing a military solution, while all our wussies keep saying this problem can't be solved militarily. Wait to Russia brings hell to these muzzies - Obama, his admin, and the MSM will all be shown to be idiots. Pull up a chair, pass the popcorn and turn on the DVD recorder.
The Russians are the Washington Generals to the muhajdeen/jihadists Harlem Globetrotters since 1979. Time and again Russia has been defeated by Islamists, in Afghanistan, and in Chechnya.
Putin is the last person I want in there trying to take them out.
