#5 [On working for the CIA]
Peter Falk as Vince Ricardo: Are you interested in joining? The benefits are terrific. The trick is not to get killed. That's really the key to the benefit program.

#6 Seems to me the Russians are doing the job we should be doing. The problem is, 0bean wants to have his cake and eat it too in the form of ISIS getting annihilated and Assad going into exile. Can't have both. Given the two choices, the answer is easy: ISIS must be completely crushed long before Assad rises to the top of the Pareto in this mess of a world that 0bean's "polices" have enabled.

#7 Why should we have to get in the middle of that shit. Let Russia take care of it. Enough of our soldiers have died trying to atop the idiots of the middle east etcetera from killing each other. Not to mention the cost monetarily and for them to hate us in the end.

#8 Moscow is officially denying the report, likely due to discrepancies in Russian-specific casualty figures per various sources, e.g. UKRAINE INTEL SOURCE claiming that the bodies of 26 dead Russian Marines had quietly arrived in Sevastopal from Syria, NOT "THREE" DEAD RUSSIANS FROM SYRIA???

As per #7,

* OTOH LUCIANNE > [Business Insider] HENRY KISSINGER: LET RUSSIA DEFEAT THE ISIS,ITS DESTRUCTION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OVERTHROW OF ASSAD.

* GROONG . [ArmRadio] RUSSIAN ACTIVENESS IN SYRIA TO CHANGE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAUCASUS: POLITICAL SCIENTIST.

ARTIC = Both Russia + EU TO intensify their policies, ESPEC AGZ EACH OTHER IN SYRIA + EASTERN, NORTHERN EUROPE???
