Well this won't play well.

Why, what will Russia do? Start bombing more? Wait, I thought we have already seen "Russia's unrelenting might" and their "breathtaking military hardware and new technology" yet here we still are. I cannot believe the adulation Russia brings. Sure, we are all glad they joined the fight against the terrorists, but let us get real for a second. We have been flying thousands of sorties for well over a decade and bombing just about the whole time, and yet the Islamic State is a dug in and entrenched thorn in the world's side. Unless everyone is talking about a massive ground invasion, Russia, the United States, France and whoever will be "bombing and backing their pet rebels" until the cows come home.

Indeed, what's to bomb that's going to make a difference? It's like fighting a cockroach invasion with a howitzer. Lots of bang, but not much effect.

I can. Conservatives are so desperate for a dog in the fight that isn't biting them, they readily embrace whomever is openly attacking those perceived as enemies.

This isn't limited to Russia, and the phenomenon encompasses a number of odd political affections of late.

That is because islam = ISIS. The "religion of peace" teaches its adherents that there is no peace until nothing that is not islamic remains alive.
