#2 i wouldnt be suprised if true, after all thier forces are fckin sht these days, but then again who cares if it is true, Russia's no friend of the 'west' or for that matter anyone apart from Iran and Syria. I wouldnt lose any sleep over thier deaths put it that way.

#5 We went to one of the salt mines in south Louisiana on a "science club" trip when I was in high school. They had a perfect cube of salt six feet on a side as one of the exhibits. That would work for Debka, but for Kavkaz, you'd need something several orders of magnitude bigger.

"Russia's no friend of the 'west' "

Ture, but as long as they're fighting militant Islam I'm pulling for them. (Unless it's like in WWII, when it was hard to tell whether Hitler or Stalin was worse, so you ally with the weaker one, figuring you can deal with him later (which may be the story behind Chamberlain's 'peace in our time' - work with Hitler because Stalin was deemed more dangerous.))
