Current truth is the subject to change without notice.

ISIS is and was mostly irrelevant.


It was relevant until a few months back and now irrelevant long as you don’t count the unnumbered fighters in hiding or the 2,000 that escaped from the Kurds now likely heading for caches and succor among the sympathetic. Or the hundreds (and maybe thousands) in Libya and elsewhere who may return. Totally irrelevant not.

The point is to end games and let adults solve it. You said thousands escaped prison and whose fault it is? Can we say NATO liberated thousands ISIS prisoners and now says let us control your oil and go fight them elsewhere.
This bullcrap is seriously over limts.

Adults are solving it - part of the reality is that people will die in the process. Sorry.

Interesting. By your Putin logic, ISIS is entitled to Syrian oil.

Perhaps some re-calibrating is required by the U.S.

Puty-Poot must have cut a deal with Syria for a share in the oil money. Unfortunate.

LOL. Nice attempt at deflection. NATO member Turkey has just released 2000 ISIS members from prison, another NATO member moves to ‘protect Syrian oil from ISIS’ and advises Syria to deal with released ISIS elsewhere.
Yet, handing oil to ISIS is ‘Putin logic’.
Just LOL. Neocons lost it completely.

The only ISIS prisoners I know of that were released, were the one’s that the Kurds released. If you have other information, good - put it out there.

Again, sorry for the loss of revenue to your boy Pooty-Poot.

Nice try.

At least 750 Isis affiliates escape Syria camp after Turkish shelling

And Kurds release more to gain attention.

Tell Putin, we appreciate his getting out of the way last night.

This comment reveal blunders behind US military policies. Just like US policies it is just too personified.

The oil would go to ISIS otherwise. Syria/Russia could not successfully face them.

According to the President ISIS has been destroyed.

...yes referring to the ISIS Caliphate, as in all the land taken back from the Caliphate.

This simply shows we can strike anywhere and don’t really need boots on the ground.

Let the dumb ass Russians stay there. Syria is their ally anyway.

We have a winner. NATO released some from Kurdish jail to provoke unrest but knowing this public most of them are Euro EBT card holders who came to Syria for promise of free Christian or Pagan slaves. They learned that slavery is never free and dash back to Europe at every opportunity to continue enjoy their Muslim privilege.

Russia’s Defence Ministry has criticised the United States’ decision to send armoured vehicles and combat troops into eastern Syria to protect oil fields, calling it “banditry.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Just like the so called “banditry” of John Paul Jones and the Swamp Fox,Francis Marion , both who used enemy resources to fuel their own fight.

Strategically now the caliphate jihadhis will have to come to US Forces and confront the buzz saw, the US Forces won’t have to hunt them down! Very smart strategy.

Putin is discovering that he is no longer dealing with a double dealing, community organizer, liberal utopian fascist of dirty name.

The US secured the eastern Syrian oil fields because the SAA hasn’t been able to since 2011. Why leave it for ISIS?

Maybe if SAA launched an offensive and could hold the territory the US would simply cede it back. But they can’t and they won’t. They lack the manpower and logistics at this point. Just don’t send in the Wagner Group without top cover and an agreement beforehand.
