I hope they use poison gas on them.
Fumigate entire regions — like exterminating cockroaches.

When was Willy Pete banned?
Putin: “yes,we know its banned, but this is part of our disposal plan”
Putin ROE....”Kill all terrorists”

Go Russia; wipe every last one of these murderous Islamist terrorists off the face of earth. I pray for your pilots.
Putin: “yes,we know its banned, but this is part of our disposal planâ€

Or “It’s our weapons supply delivery to help the ‘Rebels’; they just have to catch them”

1980 Protocol on Incendiary Weapons
http://www.weaponslaw.org/instruments/1980-protocol-on-incendiary-weapons/
CCW Protocol III, thus, does not outlaw incendiary weapons, but places constraints on their use for the conduct of hostilities, notably in populated areas. Aside from the absolute prohibition on using air-delivered incendiary weapons to attack a military object within a concentration of civilians, these constraints go little beyond the requirements of the general rules of IHL on the conduct of hostilities.
neither did the daesh
Whiskey Pete! Next comes the napalm!
I don’t know if ISIS speaks Russian, but Putin definitely speaks a language they understand.

Plus I wouldn’t trust a ‘witness’ on the receiving end as far as I could throw them. Enemy propaganda.
