“Syrian army starts using new weapons from Russia”
If history is any guide — those are NOT really Syrians flying those planes.

"The weapons are highly effective and very accurate, and hit targets precisely,"But do they work as good as barrel bombs?

I hope Russia exterminates every last one of them, and I hope whatever Americans we have secretly working with ISIS get the flock outs Dodge. Yes, there will probably be some collateral damage to the CIA and military folks helping the terrorists, but there is a cost to backing the bad guys - or there should be.

Yea, I don't think Syrians are geniuses. These are Russians flying Syrian warplanes/manned weapons.

If/when the Russians win, Russia will be the new world superpower. The US will be second place, which will be taken by China, leaving the US in third place.

Last night didn’t Trump say “Let Syria and ISIS fight it out, then we’ll clean it up?” Sounds pretty good to me.

Assad was on the ropes until they came up with barrel bombs. Managed to hold things to a stalemate until he could get some help.

Maybe, but consider this: It’s Russians dying, and ISIS dying. I fail to see the problem.

Obama must be smoking hot over this... It looks like Putin hit the reset button. Obola better put some ice on it.
