Man, Ted Cruz must have been practicing his sophistry on Iran for weeks. Seriously, I have very low expectations for Cruz, but I really don't see how he could have made his speech any more melodramatic and pretentious. Holocaust allusions maybe? (Reminds me, Huckabee gave Cruz a run for his money on Iran)
If Russia does get more involved in Syria, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that they will bomb other rebel groups (IMO, far) more than ISIS. They have consistently toed Assad's party line, that ~90% of the rebels are radical Islamists, along with other propaganda from the Syrian regime. Hopefully, the Russian Armed Forces aren't as reckless as they were in Chechnya.
