#1 ...I remember a time when this would have been the beginning of the Third World War.

I fear now this is the end of that war. And we lost.

#2 I thought the US and Russia were both fighting ISIS. It would make sense to coordinate our attacks.

What was I thinking? Obama is in charge. "Sense " doesn't enter into the discussion.

#3 Putin knows Obama will back down and will never cross Putin's 'Red Line'.

#7 So, the first Russian airstrike is against a non-ISIS target in Homs. On top of a polite request to stay out of the way. How's that for a sharp poke in the eye?

That is a very impressive move by the Russians.

#8 I'm trying to imagine what Reagan's response to such a demand would have been.

It wouldn't have been a 'bow'. Or a 'restart' button.

#9 Not to worry!

"The U.S.-led coalition will continue to fly missions over Iraq and Syria as planned and in support of our international mission to degrade and destroy ISIL" Kirby told reporters.

At least until Champ tells 'em to bow down.

#10 If you want to see a confused bunch of people (I mean, even more than usual) look at the comments over at the Guardian. The Stalin-had-the-right-idea crowd are duking it out with the anti-war crowd. But they both agree that America is the most evilest no matter what, 'cause. Let's start a rumor that the Russian pilots are transgendered.

#12 Easier to stop the rebels as locals fighting for regional rule than ISIS as domestic and foreign fighting for global rule.
