The Rooskies are more against ISIS and US supported jihadists.

To the extent that the US is not against McJuan
Jihadists and Iran is Sedition.

Who knew we were in a war there?

Did Congress ever declare it?

Funny, I’m informed the opposite occurred.

Not surprising as we did not have a clear goal, clear allies/enemies, and were mostly present. Present for what? In that vacuum, the Russians, with a clear goal, achieved it. We lose.

Obama’s “insurgency” there a.k.a. Al-Qeada, yes.
And we shouldn’t have been over there to begin with.
The limpwristed flap-eared pansy should have been opposed vehemently, but our elected officials were busy partying in DC.

To readers of this thread, what is published in “Military Review” is not necessarily the opinion of the U.S. Army. Read the following instead of being fooled by implications in fake news.

MILITARY REVIEW
“Military Review is the U.S. Army’s forum for original thought and debate on the art and science of land warfare. Authors and readers comprise researchers, politicians, leaders, academics, and heads of industry. Stimulating leaders to think critically and deal with controversial subjects while providing a medium to inform on new ideas and analyze concepts, doctrine and warfighting principles.” [U.S. Army https://www.army.mil/media/publications/ ]

To find out what was really in the article referred to by the Yahoo piece excerpted in the post above this thread, read the original article.

What Kind of Victory for Russia in Syria?

If one wants a Neo-Conservative type of war, one might say we lost...yes, and we probably financed some rebels along the way, some say that war has been going on well before 2011.

If one’s objective is as Trump’s, to defeat ISIS, I think that’s a victory.

But the Neo-Cons are coming out and seemingly want more than just that.

So according to the author, Putin has a PoS army with no drones but won Syria... typical libtard trying to say we need not fear Putin’s army, yet implies we were fighting Russians when in fact all along Obama was colluding

Syrians, like, in Iran, were throwing a legit overthrow of Assad which subsequently was quelled with Assad releasing Suni terrorists on his own Alawites now forced to obey him

Obama did the same releasing terrorists in Garland Texas to force people not aligned with him at that protest to beg for his protection

If we have lost in Syria, that’s quite an impressive accomplishment because it’s hard to lose when we were fighting for at least 3 different sides of the conflict.

Our only legitimate goal there was to destroy ISIS as a state which we did. I call that a victory.
