“The US has been launching airstrikes against ISIS ......”
Well .... sorta like .... not really.
The air strikes have been more for show.
At least they aren’t supplying ISIS with weapons like we are.
Russia jut took over the Syrian government right under our noses.
The mob goons have moved in to provide “protection” and Assad will now take orders from Moscow.
And our presidents’ reaction wasn’t even an afterthought to Putin.
Bad actors worldwide have a free hand with bathhouse Barry in office.
ISIS does have aircraft, many reports from a year ago about this.
But this AA equipment is aimed at NATO forces, not ISIS.
The coalition Air Force is the Air Force of ISIS
We see the game obama has been playing here
Obama won’t let our forces strike any target threatening Assad because he shars the common goal of ISIS in overthrowing Assad and has aligned us with Islamic extremism
Our idiots in Washington prefer that Al Nusra Front aka Al Qaeda or ISIS rule Syria than Assad and throw the country into turmoil just like Libya
We are actually helping the beheaders, crucifiers, rapists, and slaveholders out of some inexplicably personalized obama vendetta against Assad ... People were not fleeing Syria under Assad but the country is depopulating under obama’s selected allies
Assad is the least bad of all bad choices and Russia has a treaty to defend him, 2 reasons we need to get out of there
and tell Saudi Arabia to bugger off with supporting insanity because it has a Sunni base
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were secretly supporting them. I agree, all they’re after there is expanding their power and influence in the Middle East and elsewhere around the world. They are still reeling from the humiliations of the Reagan era. A very recent report said they are building a major military base on the Ukraine border.
Russia is building a military base along the Ukrainian border, signaling its preparing for long-term support of the pro-Russian separatists fighting for Ukraine. The massive base - scheduled for completion in April - will house ammunition depots and barracks for several thousand soldiers, and will be used to train soldiers, reported Reuters. The Reuters reporter investigating the new base was temporarily detained and accused of being a Ukrainian spy. Russian officials didn't respond to Reuters questions about the purpose of the base and whether it's connected to the fight for Ukraine. ..."

We just got the clearest sign yet that Russia doesn’t really care about fighting ISIS in Syria:

If Israel wanted to hit Iran, they would have to either pass thru Saudi air space, Jordan, or Syria and Iraq. Having Syrian AA blocks the Syrian route.
At least, there are not whole American battalions in ISIS but there are indeed whole Russian battalions in ISIS. http://www.rferl.org/archive/under-the-black-flag/latest/17257/17257.html
Where did Al-Qaeda and its offshoot ISIS come from?
Russia created them while fighting its decade-long war to take over Afghanistan during the 1980s. Osama bin Laden created organized Middle Eastern jihadist terrorism by uniting anti-Russian Muslim radicals into what became Al-Qaeda, which helped defeat the Russians and expel them from Afghanistan.
So here are the Russians today, coming back to try to defeat today’s much-more powerful, brutal, and organized Al-Qaeda and ISIS armies in Syria, when it couldn’t even defeat the early fledgling, ragtag versions of those organizations when Russia was a superpower thirty-five years ago?
Today’s Russian army can’t even defeat the Ukrainian army, against which its been battling for more than a year to take over a small Russian-speaking portion of that country.
If Russia’s experience of losing wars over the past half-century is repeated in Syria, Al-Qaeda and ISIS will grow stronger than ever and Bashar al-Assad will be defeated and his allies, particularly Iran and Russia, will be weakened.
So bring it on, Vladimir.
Those antiaircraft batteries should be taken out with overwhelming force.
Clueless people talk of stability. Syria and Iran do not need stability. They need instability. Same goes for Russia.
