Well, if they blow up some ISIS goons during this "many v many" fight, cool. That is an alleged purpose for them being in country. Who else they blow up is on the Russians, and on Assad. I think our folks can make sure to coordinate and stay clear, de-conflict, and watch what happens with sharp eyes. We don't want us shooting the Russians, or the Russians shooting us.

Does any of this remind folks of the Spanish Civil War? It sort of does and it sort of doesn't for me.

Man, I'd love to know what the phone conversations between Ankara and Moscow sound like lately.
