I wouldn’t give this scum the honor of being compared to the south.

Outnumbered 2 to 1 with almost no munitions factories at the beginning of the war and still almost won.

Since when does the Russian military fight for a settlement when a warm water port is at stake, and there is an opportunity to undermine the US and open up more military sales?

Syria's Gettysburg?

Or Obama's Bay of Pigs.

The “rebels” appear to be Islamists. It’s difficult to be sympathetic.

This is great news for people who don’t want a wahabbist theocracy to replace Assad. Very good news for Syrian Christians.

helped reinforce opposition suspicions that Russia and its Syrian government allies are more interested in securing a military victory over the rebels than negotiating a settlement.

What a concept.

The CIA will now pull out their ‘we really didn’t want to do this, but now we have to’ plan.

Expect major events, specifically aircraft. And soon.

I envy the authors' innocence. "Negotiated settlement" isn't exactly prominent in the Russian military tradition, and anyone who thinks otherwise is encouraged to ask the Germans. "Wait! But...you mean they intend to win?" Uh...yeah...

What? One side wants to win? What kind of strategy is that? /sarc

McCain, Graham and Rubio are going to be so broken-hearted that their jihadists friends are taking a beating.

BRAVO PUTIN!
While Kerry was sitting like a dumbass wanting to stall, you cut off supply lines and took their stronghold.

You are strangling Saudi Arabia economically and soon Erdogen will go nuts from provocation and youll simply kill him thus destroying the US and Saudis war machine in East.

Excellent!!!!!
