Russia has conducted its first airstrike in Syria, near the city of Homs, a senior U.S. official told CNN on Wednesday.

This doesn't seem like a political post.

We've been conducting airstrikes in Syria for a year now and didn't even go to Assad for permission.

Let Putin make headlines and cause his country to move up on the terrorism "hit list".

I like the lower profile air strikes and black-ops approach that minimizes American risk and places an incentive for the local citizens to defend themselves on the ground.

Let Russia experience a middle eastern quagmire.

Hopefully Putin goes in and wipes ISIS completely out - tired of seeing these asshats killing people and destroying historical artifacts. Give 'em hell Putin.

Low oil prices are screwing Russia hard right now. Putin's throwing us a bone in exchange for help in getting the price back up. He owns Russia's biggest oil company. So, he has a large interest in oil prices.
