Further 'proof' Russian soldiers are now on the ground in Syria
The Daily Mail ^ | November 8, 2015 | By JENNY STANTON

Serving or former Russian soldiers have been geolocated in Syria, bloggers have said today, suggesting the Kremlin's operation stretches well beyond it's air campaign.

The Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT), a group of Russian investigative bloggers, used social media to locate serving or ex-soldiers in the country.

CIT's investigation seems to provide further proof of a Russian ground presence after images from social media accounts appearing to show military personnel in locations across Syria were revealed in September.

So what? The legitimate government asked them for help and unless the US Congress is willing to declare war on Syria or Assad requests US help, no one else has the right to invade this sovereign country.

But Putin insists that he will not have "Boots on the Ground" (sound familiar???). We'll just have a "Little War" between Russian, Chinese, Cuban, U.S., British, etc. "Advisor/Trainers" in Syria!

Russia also deployed warplanes to Syria, adding pressure on Washington to take more effective action.

We are so desperate to appear to being a big player in Syria we have been upstaged by the Russians, and are in a save face reaction roll now.
Our shortcomings have been exposed in Syria,by the Russians.

We now substitute rhetoric for resolve to save face.-Tom

More of them doctored pics to show “Kiev or Bust” bumper stickers...or in this case, “Allepo or Bust”. LOL.

Belies ignorance.

You don’t win a war without boots on the ground.

I`m amazed at how many 'conservatives' support invading a sovereign nation to change it`s government as legit but cringe at the invasion of illegal aliens, intended to change America.

You can`t have the all important issue of national sovereignty both ways, either a nation`s borders are inviolate so they have the right to defend themselves against invaders, REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE, or you support a hypocritical, quasi-open borders concept I frankly think is howling moon-bat crazy.

What difference does it make?
The SAA and the Iranians are doing the groundwork with help from Russ Air, Spetsnaz and probably tech advisors

This is “News”???

It’s been well reported that Russians are acting as “Advisors” and Forward Air Controllers in units as small as squads.

The US shouldn`t. Just as neither Mexico, the United Nations, or anyone else for that matter, has the right to tell us we can`t toss each and every illegal alien out of our country!

Proof Russian Troops are on the ground? Just look for the trail of raped women and the looted stores and homes. That is proof the Russians are there.

My guess would be the ‘proof’ is a whole bunch of dead Islamic ‘soldiers’. I’d like to see the Russian rules of engagement. My guess is that they are really not that restrictive.
