#1 Obviously, the Russians didn't get the memo about how bombing just creates more jihadis.

Interesting to note that Russian bombing is qualitatively different from American bombing:
Russians: old-school kill people and break their stuff
vs
Americans: drone-zap a High Value Target and hopefully not get too many of the innocent goat herding bystanders with the collateral damage. See Ginsu Missile thread, for example.
(inquiring minds might wonder exactly how innocent said goat herders are if they're hanging out with the HVT)

"Hey, goat herder !"

"Yes, effendi ? Salamaleikum..."

"Take a walk with us. The Emir wants your company."

"Ooohh... but I..."

KLICK - KLACK

"Yes effendi. I am honored."
