Russia has sent fearsome teams of special forces into Syria to help prop up President Bashar Al Assad, it has been reported. Vladimir Putin's crack Spetsnaz units are said to be preparing a ground assault on rebels fighting the Syrian President – most of whom are backed by the West. They have been ordered to wipe out opponents 'by any means'.

Gee, who would have thought that there’s a military out there that still knows how to fight to win - by any means?

Like they did in the Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Chechnya? What makes you think they are going to win?

Russia's Spetsnaz special forces went on bloody revenge missions against local (Muslim) jihad units.....to punish them for atrocities against Russian troops and civilians.

Just goes to show.....if nothing else, Putin is consistent----he backed Egyptian president al Sisi in throwing the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.

Putin also backed al Sisi when the Egyptian president vowed to rebuild the churches and Christian businesses destroyed by the Muslim savages.

=====================================

We've got a feckless ding-a-ling in the WH, an idiot who has turned the US into a dumping ground....the jerk is intent on resettling Muslim fanatics, bent on killing Christians, as our neighbors. The ding-a-ling needs to be escorted out of office ASAP before we all get killed.

===============================================

IMHO, we need to reconsider the geopolitical equation here ASAP. It's worth contemplating that the "Assad is a Bogeyman" agit-prop came from the ding-a- ling in the WH.

It's impossible to put any credence in what he puts out there......especially considering the Ntl Security airheads he's surrounded by. Know-nothings....Susan Rice, Marie Harf....even O's campaign driver, Tommy The Dude Vietor, got ntl security clearance.

These lamebrains never lifted a finger to oust ISIS. On the contrary, they allowed these savages to prosper....and are now busily resettling the Christian-hating beheaders into the US.

The U.S. military can whoop a** with one hand tied behind its back. In fact, given the ROE they’re saddled with, they have.

The Russian troops, on the other hand, will employ total war tactics; no holds barred. If they are called out on any “war crimes”, they’ll simply thumb their collective nose with a “whaddya gonna do about it” attitude.

Among the total war tactics approved of by Geneva Convention is summary execution of armed, non-uniformed partisans. I expect there will be a lot of that, especially after they extract whatever useful information they can get in their interrogation process.

Putin is not a wimp, like Yeltsin and Gorbachev before him, or the pathetic spoiled brats running the U.S. He will offer no quarter to anything he goes after.

I saw him on Russian television in 2004 after the Muslims blew up that school in Ingushetia. He swore by the throne of Heaven that he would find all those responsible and kill them. He spent the next 5 years doing just that.

Yes, the U.S. military has been a great fighting machine. I served 4 yrs. But today with the gayification that will not last long. How many young guys are going to enlist faced with that? How many parents are going to let their son or daughter enlist now. It’s going to have an effect. Not to mention our wonderful CIC? We’re on our way to becoming Sparta.

The Russian ROE is probably a post-it note.
