Russia says it has intensified its air raids on what it calls "terrorist" targets in Syria and raised to 69 the number of its aircraft there.

(snip) A monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Syrian and Russian warplanes conducted 50 bombing raids in Deir al-Zour province - Russia's most intense assault there to date.

The BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow says that in the Russian defence ministry video soldiers can be seen writing messages on the bombs before loading them onto the aircraft - phrases like: "This is revenge for our dead" and "This is for Paris".

Update as of 6 hours ago and a good map of bombing locations.

I was watching a bunch of these the other night....impressive to say the least.

On a softer note:

Once again a Putin does a Class Act........who was touched about the story of Diesel, a seven-year-old Belgian shepherd and member of the Paris SWAT team in charge of the Paris raid was killed in the line of duty,.... ordered sent to Paris's Swat Team the little German Shepherd puppy called 'Dobrynia' from Russian's police dog handlers ...given the name of one of Russia's legendary heroes - a man who personified 'strength, love, courage and self-sacrifice'...Dobrynia will eventually join the team of officers who had so cherished Diesel.

The Russians show no signs of letting up.They’re lauching cruise missiles from their navy too.Next step will be Russian troops on the ground,ISIS will not enjoy meeting those guys.

‘Meanwhile, Turkey has warned Russia that it must immediately stop bombing “civilian Turkmen villages” in Syria, close to the Turkish border.’

Turkey should get stuffed.

I love what putin is doing and I’m so sad I cannot love what my country is doing but let’s not forget Putin is a snake in the grass whose adversaries seem to die of mysterious causes or gets shot.

he is born and raised KGB. What would it take for people on this board to suddenly not be patriotic conservative Americans. He will be what he is but he is doing the right thing now

"Where’s Obama?"

Busy denouncing the US and Republicans while he is on foreign shores, Spit.

[butlerweave]

While Obama travels the World looking for Muslims he can bring back to the US

And Obama? Well he sent 50 advisors recently, does that count?

“he is born and raised KGB. What would it take for people on this board to suddenly not be patriotic conservative Americans”

People change. SS man Werner von Braun used jewish death camps to build his toys knowing full well what was happening.
Many similar stories out of Japan, including the lead pilot at Pearl Harbor who became a Christian minister.

Im just not seeing Stalin here. Putins crime is that he isn’t willing to bend over and accept the rules put out by American and EU bankers. That’s it, he dares to think they can be a country and set their own policies.

Putin is TAKING what he wants. In the process, he is establishing a RUSSIAN COMMIE presence in the Middle East...thanks to his tyrannical and complicit friend, America’s number one domestic enemy.

We are watching a mix of good and bad history in the making. IMHO, Putin would love to bear the title of “The Man Who Shot ISIS” (not Liberty Valence). He may just do it. This entire mess is the darkest hour for the USA.

Putin is a commie pos and while you can take Putin out of the KGB you will never take the KGB out of Putin. The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.
