Russia Surprises U.S. With Accord on Battling ISIS

By MICHAEL R. GORDONSEPT. 27, 2015

UNITED NATIONS — For the second time this month, Russia moved to expand its political and military influence in the Syria conflict and left the United States scrambling, this time by reaching an understanding, announced on Sunday, with Iraq, Syria and Iran to share intelligence about the Islamic State.

Like Russia’s earlier move to bolster the government of President Bashar al-Assad by deploying warplanes and tanks to a base near Latakia, Syria, the intelligence-sharing arrangement was sealed without notice to the United States. American officials knew that a group of Russian military officers were in Baghdad, but they were clearly surprised when the Iraqi military’s Joint Operations Command announced the intelligence sharing accord on Sunday.

Putin is calling the shots and he has left Obama reeling.

I’m actually wanting him to rub O’s ugly snout in the dust today!

I think Putin wants to drag America further into this mess...so our military will be further weakened.

He wants to show the world what a real ally does, and how he doesn’t abandon them.

Egypt, Libya, and Israel have all been back stabbed by this President.

Putin responds to the JV team.

And no, I’m not talking about ISIS.

Yes. Unfortunately, there is that also.

I keep remembering the laser show Putin had projected onto the American embassy. It was a lively animated picture of Obola as a queer monkey fellating a banana. Best depiction of Obola yet!!

Shame on you. You left out America and its people.

Ha. Kerry and Obummer outwitted and outmaneuvered by the Russkis. Gives one a whole lot of confidence in that Iran deal, now doesn’t it.

The Obummer regime sure seems to get surprised by a lot of things. That is what happens when you have the pot-smoking junior communist revolutionary progressives elected.

The world is in real trouble because these assholes want to play liberal academic high horse games.

Whoever the next president is will have a whole lot of crap to unwind, more so than what Reagan had. America will have to vote smart or perish.
