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.
