Not much of an army if they won’t try to fight their way out.

Putin best get ready to bend over 14/7 once Trump gets in

I read a couple articles this morning on how Assad's fall is supposedly so terrible for Russia. Both were entirely predicated on the notion that Russia is losing its military bases in Syria, and nothing else. But the chatter this morning elsewhere has been that Russia is likely to come to an agreement with the new government and will retain its bases (just as the US is still in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba).
Given the new government is probably less ideologically opposed to Russia than Cuba was to the US, I expect some combination of carrot and stick on the part of the Russians will lead to them retaining control of their bases. In which case this "stranded in Syria" propaganda is just more nonsense. No more stranded than the US is in Guantanamo Bay.

I bet Putin leaves less equipment than we did.

Assad is under house arrest in Moscow and a bargaining chip in the negotiations between Putin and the muzzie terrorists blocking the Russian bases.

We have 900 personnel in Syria, with an imbecile in the White House.

The Russian army can’t take care of itself?

This has the smell of Ukrainian origin one could argue.

Is their contingent mostly combat soldiers or a heavy mix of REMFs?

I thought you said he died two years ago, was alive but had cancer, died again then got cancer then was deposed? Now he's alive and humilated?
Is this the same reliable source you get all your breaking news from?

I bet Putin leaves less equipment than we did. More actually, but Israel has destroyed much of it.

The Russian army “stranded” in Syria would kick the entire British army's butt...from the Mediterranean to the Gulf.
Maybe that's why the faggy Brits write this crap.

You’ve been trying to capture the village of Chasiv Yar for almost 3 years. Same for Pokrovsk. Yawn.
To: NavyShoe
The Russian Army can probably take care of itself. Especially after the IAF has destroyed so much of Syrian air and ground power.
The only serious potential adverariesare Israel and Turkey .
Turkey and Russia are actually to a large degree allies.
So now we face a re constituted Islamic Ottoman Empire under the radical leadership Erdogan allied with Russia in the region.
Not sure how this is going to play out.
