I hope they make a better show than the Caucasus, it's really to everyone's benefit if they do well.

The best case scenario would be if they actually fought ISIS.

I say let them do a little bit of the dirty work.

Could this be another Russian Afghanistan, perhaps? He's about to go against a shit load of factions. Conventional warfare will never work.

Honestly, if the Russians can somehow stabilize the country, I don't give a fuck.

But it's totally going to end in disaster.

It'd turn into an ongoing insurgency at least rather than "these areas are ISIS land", it wouldn't solve the crisis but it would stabilize it.

Russia isn't ready to deal with an ongoing insurgency though, and everyone knows that. IDK how else this situation can be improved in the long run. Radicals know now that if they just wait long enough for the big boys to get tired they can just seize up land immediately upon their departure. And with all of the good Muslims dying or leaving the area this shit just gets harder to reestablish any actual order.

Russian intelligence isn't afraid to kill terrorists though, and the world's a host different in Mesopotamia compared to the Kush when it comes to finding people.

Good points. Well at least someone is doing something, really.

And nice touch with the Mesopotamia.
