The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has declared that he is withdrawing the majority of Russian troops from Syria, saying the intervention had largely achieved its objective.
The news, relayed to the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, personally, followed a meeting in the Kremlin with Putin’s defence and foreign ministers. He said the pullout, reducing an intervention that began at the end of September, is due to start from Tuesday.

So is this the non PKK Kurds who are NOT communists?
Nah, the Russian did not win, the moslum will celebrate it as another defeat of Russian Christians by jihad.
agreed.
The Russia of old would have left no doubt about who won. They would have avenged the jetliner 10,000 to 1.
Saudis probably paid him a couple of hundred billion.
Drop leaflets
Destroy two or three blocks of the city
Everyone else runs and they don’t care about ISIS. They run.
Word gets around. The leaflets hit the ground and everybody runs without having to destroy anymore.
Combine that with Special OPs and allowing the civilians a little revenge on the ISIS pigs and word will get around.
Provided, of course, that ISIL does not tie up their hostages and leave them there to be bombed. A few times like that and our military would catch heck.
Exactly. No need to nation build. No need to say I’m sorry.
Now that’s some funny!
That is the way to fight. Go in and do some serious damage and get the hell out.
Let someone else clean up the mud huts
Well since ISIS has been doing that on a daily basis anyway, I don’t think it would be counted against US....especially if the people were free and independent. It seems that western Sunni Iraq should be independent of eastern Shiite Iraq....but all that oil will make the drawing of boundaries a bitch.
What a mess Obama/hilliary have made.

So much for the soapbox hysteria of the GOPe like McStain and Lindseed and all GOPe presidential candidates except for Trump. Remember the ones who wanted to shoot Russian jets down in a no go zone?
The only sane person running for the Presidency is Donald J. Trump.
IMHO,there is some friction in their dealings with the Iranian s, and have had terrorism problems on their southern flank. Then there is 0bama’s fiend Erdogan in Turkey..
Like the tide moving out before the tsunami hits..
Plutonium, the gift that keeps on giving..
How so? They just entered into war in Syria at Iran's orders. Then there is 0bama’s fiend Erdogan in Turkey.
Russia and Turkey have twoo many shared economic interests. Oil, for one. Turkey is one of the largest destinations of Russian oil. They may scuffle, but no war.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
He’s up to something because one thing I’ve noticed about that man, is that he doesn’t do something for no reason.

Turkey is threatening to close the Bosphorous Straight and that would leave him with no easy way to bring in more ships etc (they would be trapped per say)
When Turkey gets more involved , not if but when because it won’t be long he will need to stop them up north or he will have them heading to Russia . The strategic spot to stop them is Armenia and that is where he is moving his troops to.
Assad is also done is Syria , he does not have the man power etc to return things back to normal, Putin knows this and he knows the entire area is about to explode.
I know what people think but Putin is not Gog.
Maybe just getting the troops out of the range of nukes.
I’d like to see Pooty-poot finish off Binky before he re-arms the jihadists with OUR weapons PAID FOR by US.
