The Russian Air Force is taking no prisoners in the eastern Homs countryside and they are certainly not willing to allow ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) to use the roads that lead north towards the Al-Raqqa Governorate.

For two straight days now, the Russian Air Force has relentlessly targeted ISIL’s primary oil transport routes in the deserts of northeastern Homs, striking the aforementioned terrorist group’s positions at the villages of Al-Zara’yah, Wadi Al-Dhakara, Al-Sakhanah, and ‘Arak.

If what I've read is true, Russia was reborn at a core level and is using a different Light to see the world with than the Soviets used.

Yesterday's Soviets were evil and so is today's ISIL/ISIS.

Today's Russia was born from the Soviet ashes in fundamental transformation and today's Russians are bombing the Hell out of the evil ISIL.

That alone doesn't mean that Russia hasn't or won't again fall to the dark side, but I'm betting that they are on a higher mission these days.

I'm not so sure about US, though.

We're undergoing a "fundamental transmogrification" and are not doing so well with the talents and mission we were given.

Use it or lose it? Have the Russians been given the mission that we had been given?

“Have the Russians been given the mission that we had been given?”

The Russians have taken the mission that was rejected by the godless, soulless, evil being that inhabits our White House.

Not just likely, he openly rejected the idea over environmental concerns in addition to those of the people driving the vehicles as “innocents”.


Obama has sued every BS excuse in the book not to oppose ISIS including a desire to avoid civilian casualties and environmental concerns.

However, Obama bombed the heck out of Libya with no concerns what so ever for civilian casualties, collateral damage or damage to the environment or civilian infrastructure.

The big difference in Libya was that Obama was using American military attacks to support an ISIS takeover of Libya.

In Syria, Obama is protecting ISIS to allow ISIS to take over Syria

Yep, that's how it seems to be.

History seems to be moving against US now.

Sometimes I wonder what it was like to be a 1930's German who was against Hitler and just wanted his country whole again.

Unfortunately, those Germans, along with their country, were made to switch sides and had to watch and survive as they and their country slipped away and fell to the dark side.

The other big difference in Libya is Quadaffi was our ally.

As a very young child I was brought up surrounded by the history of the second world war and then the soviet bloc, and I used to wonder how awful it must have been to experience one's country's descent into totalitarianism.

But now I know.

Seems to me like Putin has been listening to Trump.
