Russia launches more Syria strikes as 'Iran and Hizbollah prepare ground operation' - live updates

Russian jets bomb rebel positions in Syria including rural areas near the north-western town of Jisr al-Shughour, a day after launching air strikes. Follow latest developments here

Latest 14.54

Russia's defence ministry releases footage of four more air strikes in Syria. The ministry posted footage on its official YouTube page that it says shows night air strikes by Russian aviation on four Isil sites in Syrian territory.

The ministry said on its YouTube page militant infrastructure in Hama as well as near Idlib was destroyed by the air strikes.

14.10 Erdogan: Turkey will not allow 'fait accompli situations' next to borders

Turkey has been fairly quiet since Russian launched its air strikes. In yesterday's UN General Assembly speech, Turkish prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu did not bring up the strikes, only stressing the need for a safe zone (which Turkey has long argued for).

Rebel commander helped by CIA confirms being hit

Meanwhile, the commander of a rebel group that has been given military training by the CIA in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, confirmed that a training camp they run was hit.

Hassan Haj Ali, head of the Liwa Suqour al-Jabal rebel group, said the camp in Idlib province was struck by around 20 missiles in two separate sorties.

"It's back, it's back," says one person off-camera as the roar of a jet is heard overhead.

"The shape of the explosion is very different from the one that would result from bombing by the Assad forces," says Abdallah. Behind him, the camera captures a multi-headed plume of smoke rolling above the landscape.

Boy, I wish we had a manly, decisive leader like Putin.

Russia is the only country on the planet outside of maybe North Korea that has threatened nuclear war recently. Now they are dropping bombs in the Middle East. What could possibly go wrong here?

Because I suspect your love and admiration for the KGB/FSB thug might be based on something other than intellect and knowledge. But you of course don’t need to answer. Have a good day.

McGruff is a serious Putinista. He’ll love to see Russia take over the Middle East, as well as retake Eastern Europe. He’ll be in the street cheering Russian troops on, waving a little red flag and blowing them kisses.

Only in your mind is posting/commenting on the news “carrying water”. Do you think sending out negative or positive mental waves will affect the world situation in any way?

In your case, Putinator, it's more like carrying his jockstrap. Because every bit of "news" that you share with us, in one way or another, benefits or supports Putin and his obvious self-serving expansionist agenda into the Middle East or Eastern Europe. Admit what you are already! Most here already know anyway.

How? Because you cherry pick the news for things that, in one way or another, supports what Putin is doing. NEVER have you posted anything criticizing him for anything. In fact, I asked you nearly 15 times to tell us one single thing you do *not* like about the KGB/FSB thug and/or his past or present actions and you couldn't come up with ANYTHING!

Cherry pick? The Russkies are flying over Syrian skies as we speak! That’s not cherry picking. That’s a headline news item. What about this article is pro or anti Putin? It’s just the facts, ma’am.

Just for shits and giggles, Putin should give a briefing on the day's objectives and future strike operations and call out the Russian/Iranian/Chinese/Assad organization as:

Ground Operations Group (GOG), and the Navy/Marine detachment at Tartus and Latakia as:Marine Assault General Operations Group (MAGOG).

Watch heads explode......or the world.

Sounds like he's reviving the Union. Crimea, Ukraine, Syria as a vassal State. I expect Cuba to be added to his list just as soon as Obama/Kerry build it up again. Doubt that Eastern Europe is far behind.

WWII all over again. Putin playing the part of Hitler and Kerry/Obama playing the role of Chamberlain.

Pray REAL loud folks. It's going to get ugly. All it would take for WWIII is for us to accidentally down a Russian aircraft. I figure if Russia downs one of our aircraft, pussy Obama would just drop trou and surrender so that's not entering into my calculations.

And final thought: I'm not sure y'all will like it but i can't really see any of the 15 negotiating with KGB Vlad except possibly trump. Can any of you REALLY see Dr. Carson as a war president? Or Marco? or Jeb? Not me. Only man of practicality we got left is Trump. Carly? forget it.

Actually, the article you posted here, for the first time I can recall, does 'seem' to be pretty legit, in terms of not sugarcoating or glossing over Putin's actions, although I admit I haven't read much past the headline (the real headline, that is).

So then, are you beginning to see the light on Putin's TRUE intentions in the region?

But, if that is the case, why would you change the title of it from:

"Russia kills US-backed Syrian rebels in second day of air strikes as Iran prepares for ground offensive' - live updates"

to...

"Russia launches more Syria strikes as 'Iran and Hizbollah prepare ground operation' - live updates" ?

Doesn't surprise me a bit. KGB Vlad is reconstituting the USSR. Crimea, Ukraine, Syria, soon to be Cuba, Iraq, Syria and all his ally and vassal states.

And God help us, with the community-organizer-in-chief in the center seat. Russia just been WAITIN on this opportunity!!

Now you’re backtracking because I have rightly linked Russia with their BFF Iran. There’s plenty of Go Russia triumphalism here. One Putinista even posted a Russian flag pic y’day. Don’t try to BS me, FRiend.
