The leader of a terrorist state endorses another terrorist organization. In other news, the sky is blue.

When you're calling a terrorist organisation your ally, surely you've got to realise what side of history you're on right?

I mean Putin probably does, but he doesn't care as long as he gets to be king president

One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist.

But right now they have a mutual enemy in the Islamic state.

We’ll see how long it is before they go back to blowing each other up. I wouldn’t care if assholes kept at it… but they have shitty aim and hurt more people than help.

North Korea, the Taliban, the NRA, surely an impressive collection of scumbags you got there, Valodja.

Which is ironic, because they came to existence to fight Soviet.
