We almost have a shutdown every half a year at this point. No matter what, they exempt or extend military funding before preventing or allowing a shutdown. The war machine always gets to continue.
It's almost comical that the government is close to shutting down and I'm learning about it a few hours before the deadline. We in the US truly live in a failed state if a government shutdown is, in a way, barely news anymore.
Has ISIS ever really operated in Russia? I don't think I've heard of anything like that before. I did a quick search of "Russia and ISIS" in Google, filtering out today for obvious reasons, and I don't really see anything. I'm just really doubtful off the whole thing with no prior history.
