I agree 100% on Vienna next. Since we're already at war with them, it's like Singapore was just begging to be our ally. I see no reason to deny them their request. Also agree on making them a puppet. That way our social policy price won't increase.
I'm a bit torn on Damascus. It has sugar, which will mean it'll pay for itself happiness-wise very quickly. We can puppet and raze later, which is probably the route I'd go, once we have a settler somewhere in the area to claim the sugar (maybe one NE (9) of the current location?). As a size 2 puppet, it creates 5 unhappiness (2 from pop, 2 from city count, and 1 from being conquered) which matches the 5 happies from the sugar while still providing a bit of cash and science.
I like to see that income around +23. We'll need that to support extra happiness buildings to support extra population to create extra research.
Roster:

Corbeau
ThERat -> just played
Jaffa Tamarin -> UP NOW
Kylearan -> on deck
