Fierce battles continue around the strategic city of Deir Ezzor in northern Syria between regime forces and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), according to human rights groups.
Hundreds of combatants and civilians have been killed over the past week, and Russian aircraft have been dropping supplies to beleaguered army units.

Obama’s legacy of peace continues.
“contained”
If Muslims want to kill other Muslims, I fail to see the problem. Why are we bringing Muslims to the US? That is the problem.
I’ll say it again.. bring US troops home, put on our borders, ban Islam, close all mosques here, deport Muslims, let them fight there forever, and institute a “pet the pig” requirement to enter a non-Muslim country or board a plane.
I thought Putin would have eliminated them by now.
Remember when everyone said it was over for ISIS when the Russians started bombing?
I did too. I know he’s a communist, I just thought he was an honest communist, if that’s possible. I guess Putin has given us the “Trey Gowdy Treatment”; all bark, no bite.
how can you win a battle without an air force when the other side has one!! a good one!!
Meanwhile Turkish forces move into Syrian territory held by ISIS with no resistance...
Who says there is no such thing as a time machine? The Middle East proves that we can travel back to the 7th century with ease. Obama is the travel agent.
Putin is not a Communist, he’s a Russian Nationalist. He admired the power the Soviet Union had on the World Stage, but not their economic policies.
In fact, just the other day, Putin said that Lenin himself destroyed the Soviet Union.
Tet Offensive 2?
Burning their deserters to keep morale up makes me think they are getting desperate.
“I thought Putin would have eliminated them by now.”
Can’t do it all by air, and their backers keep adding fresh meat to the mulch.
The Obama State Dept. issued a list of accomplishments at the end of 2015, peace in Syria was on the list.
As me grandad sez: beatings will continue until moral improves.
ISIS took advantage of a sandstorm to attack. The hundreds killed now are ISIS soldiers. The video reported over 320 ISIS soldiers killed in the last 24 hours. Now that the storm has stopped, Russia is launching hundreds of missions. A storm of bombs.
We will see what happens. But Russia has killed ten to twenty times more ISIS soldiers than the US and did it a tenth of the time. And yes I know Russia is not doing this to aid America. If they succeed with their mission goals they will have a permanent hold in Syria. And that this is not in America’s best interest.
but i’d rather have them over there than ISIS.
and i posted yesterday pretty much your key points.
great minds and all :)
glad to hear about the sandstorm going away.
J V on the move again?
Agreed, but to add a point. The country was founded on religious freedom, however is Islam really a religion? It’s more like a political movement looking to overthrow countries and is certainly not compatible with our laws in the west.
Saying that we should not let people in from these countries and those who have been brought here in recent years and who are not American should be sent back.
He is far from a communist, but of a nationalist.
