If I was not seeing and hearing and reading about this stuff in real time...I wouldn’t believe this is happening.

WTF are they taking for drugs down there in D.C.? It must be all laced with Angel Dust.

NYET I believe will be the answer from the Russians, Jordanians, French, British...ect... We stand alone on this.

Tom Clancey couldn't make this shite up.

You have to give Putin some credit here. It is in his best interest to simply bomb the U.S. supported "rebels" since they appear to be the most immediate threat to Assad.

But bombing ISIS is a big plus for him in the context of his management of a U.S. targeted PR campaign.

Are we going to put a "no fly zones" around areas controlled by ISIS? If not, are we going to join with the Ruskies and bomb ISIS targets at the same time? Somehow I don't see that happening. Are we going to shoot down Russian aircraft to make the point that we are still the big guys on the block and to protect "our rebels" who are in all likelihood future members of ISIS? I don't think so.

Putin showing the fairy how to wage war. About time someone dealt with these scumbags, and if that is Russia then good.

While I’m not a fan of Putin, I’d much rather see Russian aircraft strafing and bombing ISIS and pushing them back, than those jihadi demons having free reign to kill, rape and destroy at will.

If Putin has to be the Alpha Male on the scene, then so be it. The subservient little beta b!tch in the White House would rather spend his time helping trannies find places to pee.

BELIEVED to be Russian? I doubt our planes are dropping any bombs.

I think that they targeted this administrations terrorists first for two reasons. Surprise, and to destroy their AA assets. They have no intention of ‘cooperating’ with Obama’s janissaries and being led into setups.
