The Russian Air Force has carried out 81 sorties hitting 263 Islamic State (IS) targets in two days in Syria, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Russian jets hit targets that mostly belong to Islamic State and other militants in such provinces as Aleppo, Damascus, Deir ez-Zor, Idlib, Latakia, Raqqa, Hama and Homs, Igor Konashenkov, a Defense Ministry spokesman, said Thursday. After their combat missions all the jets returned to the Russian Khmeimim airbase in Latakia, he said. . . .

Su-25 fighters also targeted a warehouse storing anti-tank missile systems belonging to the Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front in Idlib province, northwest Syria.

“According to data obtained via the joint information center in Baghdad, several days ago a consignment of anti-tank missile systems was delivered to one of the warehouses located in the area of Maarat al-Numan city in Idlib province,” Konashenkov said, adding that the weapons were intended to be used against the advancing forces of the Syrian army.

“After the information had been confirmed via several channels, a pair of SU-25 jets carried out strikes hitting the target and destroying the warehouse together with its contents.”

Obviously the Russkies do not know how to conduct modern warfare.

Instead of running costly air sorties and dropping expensive bombs they could be using those resources to rebuild mosques, erect new sewerage plants, teach the terrorists how to reduce CO2 emissions and fight global warming and promote homosexuality among their own troops.

Question for anyone:

How do we know this report is true? And note that we continue to hear about the non-envolvement of the Russians with ISIS targets from our U.S. media sources.

Somebody is lying and we have two sources (RT and MSM) that are at least potentially untrustworthy.

Quite the opposit. Obama is probably giving them the location of these weapons. This is Vietnam in reverse, Clowart Piven war that the like of Che wanted to see to bankrupt the US.

Wish our Constitution had provisions for enforcement that excluded crooked politicians and a Chief Executive. In other words the power of the pen could be severely restricted and the user tried for treason. Crooked and or career politicians would be held accountable from political foot work that allowed them to dance free and shirk their duties. Federal Marshals would have enforcement provisions which may require them to be robots. As I think about this we may be systemically screwed. LORD HEAR OUR PRAYERS!

I shutter to think of the damage that the current resident of the White House can and probably will do before Jan of 2017, because I know that the Congress will do nothing to stop him and that’s what makes me sick. Dear GOD, please protect all the current U. S. boots on the ground where ever they may be.
