Show me the footage Ivan!

If Obama’s Pentagon can release video of every empty pickup truck they blow up, I’m sure the Russians can share some footage of their wasting hundreds of ISIS mongrels.

Follow the mullah-—err money.
Syria is Iran’s ally along with Russia now. They can’t have Syria fall to ISIS. Iran wants control and with the new ‘lifted sanctions billions’ can buy greater influence. Weak gay boy Bammy and this traitorous Iran deal shows weakness to the enemies. Democrats not only suck but they are dangerous to our national security.

The Patriarch of Moscow is Putin. Kirill is simply his cabana boy.

Good work. They are bombing Palmyra fairly hard. This is where they had young children execute a few dozen prisoners in an old Roman theater. Where they executed a man who made a life’s work of studying antiquity, and who saved and hid artifacts before ISIS arrived. He protected it all with his life and wouldn’t tell them where he hid the treasures.
It is where ISIS dynamited a pre christian era temple that was in amazing condition.

And Palmyra is a city ISIS took easily because we refused to hit them from the air as they closed in.

These airstrikes are good for humanity.

This is confirmed by war journalist Gwynn Dyer. He says US has order to leave ISIS alone if they are fighting Assad's forces and just to help the Kurds - who the Turks are now bombing as we bomb ISIS to save the Kurds.....

This is how Putin draws a red line in the sand, bombing and killing Isis thugs/serial killers.

The Turks are the oddballs as usual. Attacking Kurds in the middle of all this. And whatever, Obama has engineered a situation where Turkeys, Americans, Russians, and Syrians are all fighting in the same airspace, against different enemies, with different goals.

This is so volatile its ridiculous.

“Reading between the lines. The Syrian pilots have had no time to train with such weapons. It’s Russian pilots in Syrian marked jets”

Good point. That makes sense.

I think the Russians are just creating more “ruins”.

Ragga! F A H -LAT AS A PANCAKE! (Sgt. Schultz).

(Ragga as in ragga-head). Well it's not like the first time I have rooted for a Russian. Alex Ovechkin is fun to watch playing hockey and he plays for the WASHINGTON CAPITALS....

Irony everywhere......

I bet they don’t have much in the way of ROE (rules of engagement) beyond, see it, destroy it.

Tough to sort out what is really going on in Syria, with all of the Muzzie Propaganda Tweeters, but there are rumors the airport that the Russians are setting up at in Latakia was hit by a Grad Attack within the last couple of hours.

Maybe this was the original headline but it certainly is not the headline there now:

“Syrian jets pound Islamic State-held areas for second day”

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/18/us-mideast-crisis-syria-palmyra-idUSKCN0RI18420150918

That is the headline.

All the Russian equipment does it lessen reliance on barrel bombs.
