I guess the 80’s gave us our foreign policy back.
obama unwon the iraq war, is unwinning the afghanistan war, and will next, apparently, unwin the cold war.
Hama sits on important crossroad. All the main highways in the area go through there especially the north-south road linking Damascus to Aleppo.
Russia is making all of the right moves. What will the Obama lackies do when Assad captures and parades squads of ISIS from Hama?
The more terrorists that the Russians kill, the more Obama’s friends squeal in protest.
They’ll be moving the artillery up the White Hut lawn before long.
The only satisfaction we’ll have is knowing that Barry the Fruitcake will be hauled away in chains.
Heil Putin!
If ISIS are not soiling their underwear right now, they’re stupider than I thought.
The Russians will give them no quarter.
Ping.
A Russian jet, equipped with all of the latest global positioning equipment and navigation electronics, strayed 20 miles into Turkey by mistake?
Sorry, not buying it.
We haven’t seen total war with the gloves off since WWII. There’s going to be a lot of weeping and knashing of teeth. Of course, to be fair, if we hadn’t elected Obama twice, the Entire region would be quite stable.
Anyone who thinks the Russians are targeting good guys and moderate opposition should look up Hama and Islamic State or Hama and Nusra
This area has been held by really cruel anti- Assad fanatics who have performed the all too familiar kidnappings , car bombings, and beheadings of civilians
Good hunting , Russia and SAA
As they taught us in the first grade...don’t look into the fireball.
A senior defense official...
Same guy that glorified our victories over ISIS?
Blitzkrieg, Part II.
I hate to give unpaid advice to the Democrats, but they should probably look at deploying an Armored Cavalry Regiment (if we still have one) along the Saudi border.
Sends a message.
Hama must win the prize as the unluckiest town on the planet. Most of what was the town before the Muslim Brotherhood revolt in 1982 ended up as carefully consistent haystack sized mounds of rubble as far as the eye could see. I know because about nine months later Hama was the main stop on my Karnak Bus ride both ways between Damascus and Aleppo and I saw the fields of rubble. A reputed 40,000 Sunni survivors of the Syrian Army shelling were rounded up and trucked into the desert, never to be heard from again. The Christian neighborhoods were left largely intact and that was the location of our bus stop.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Yes, Hama. The last time the Islamists made trouble there (1982) Assad's pop killed 20,000 to 40,000, depending on who is doing the counting. Surrounded the city, and shelled it. Killed some terrorists too, but mostly civilians.
