Not all of the idiots here cheering Russia on in their quest to basically take over the Middle East with all of its valuable resources and strategic military value are actual Putinistas. Many I suspect are simply small-minded and/or profoundly ignorant.
A lot are perplexed and want the terrorists rears kicked after witnessing story after story of mass beheadings and burnings and rapes of Christians and other non-ISIS people.
Many don’t necessarily cheer on Russia, but after our feckless Muslim Brotherhood supporting resident refused to really do anything, seeing terrorist butts kicked by someone is good.
