Yeah, ol' Schicklegruber got them ticked off some time ago, their willingness to suffer privation and throw bodies at the Germans was absolutely ISIS-like albeit with different ideology.
My chats with Russians earlier this year convinced me that they are not only in it for the long haul, but they are in it to restore the Rodina to greatness, even if and perhaps especially if it means humbling the West.
I think that Obama and the Saudi's are playing with thermonuclear fire, this will knock the knees off of US energy independence (or at least independence from ME and other nasty countries), it feels like we are having the junior team take on the pro's and I don't like our chances right now.
I have, of late, thanked God for the US military capabilities even though my dependence on them causes me a great deal of personal angst, without them, Puty would be doing the nasty to the Baltics, Ukraine and likely dicking around in the ME. He won't do that right now as, while he treats your POTUS justifiably with disdain, he respects your military capability a great deal.
Hang in there Tabs, I hear more on this forum singing in the choir....perhaps indicative of a broader understanding of what is really happening out there.
