“International concerns over Moscow’s intentions in the war-torn nation”

They came to chew gum and kick ass, and Syria is all out of gum.

Follow the money. Iran has signed contracts for $20 billion in weapons purchases from the Russians. A lot of that, or all, will be coming from the $150 billion that Obama is releasing because of the fake nuclear control agreement with Iran. So it could be said that Obama is funding both the Iranian and Russian military actions.

“The Syrian opposition”

That’s the “good” terrorists, right?

Turkey? The country that said they would bomb ISIS but bombed the Kurds instead?

Kinda shocked. This thread hasn’t got the He-Man Anti-Putin club posting in full force yet? They’re slipping.

It’s because Soros is cheap and doesn’t pay his army of trolling Banderists on the weekends. Unlike us Putinistas :-)

‘’International concerns’’ have been voiced since Day One of the Russian bombings, and here we are on Day Four and the Russians haven’t stopped bombing.

So how much more obvious can it be that Vladimir Putin doesn’t care about anyone’s concerns?

In fact, he probably welcomes them, since every time Russian bombers take out another Arab terrorist stronghold, the Russian propaganda media proclaims a glorious victory to the world, while at the same time the U.S. propaganda media issues another weak expression of concern by Obama and the West.

Putin’s reputation is expanding like a giant Superman balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, while Obama’s is shrinking into the size of a flea.

Yet it would never occur to Obama to stop expressing his meaningless concerns and instead try to get the media to ignore the Russian victories.

There wasn’t international “concern” when Obama was sending the CIA to places like Egypt, Libya and then Syria stirring up revolts and overthrowing existing governments?

I think your post 24 is a real possibility. Of course we cannot know for sure, but it certainly makes sense. In another way we pushed this forward by sanctioning Russia and isolating them, driving them closer to China, Iran, Assad, etc...and to viewing the U.S as their enemy (again). Also by ignoring their worries about the expansion of NATO. All of that, plus the Iran deal, plus trying to oust Assad, plus withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan, ....

Everything we have done has pushed this event forward. On purpose? Some say yes. I say no. It has been out of ineptness and liberal ideological stupidity.

I noticed Jordan, Egypt, and Israel aren't on the list.

Don’t read anything into this. Remember, Russia’s ministry of propaganda is just as good, if not better than the DNC ministry of propaganda.

Russia is killing Obama allies first, but ISIS got the message. They are next.
