Russia has begun its military intervention in Syria, deploying an aerial contingent to a permanent Syrian base, in order to launch attacks against ISIS and Islamist rebels; US stays silent.
Russian fighter pilots are expected to begin arriving in Syria in the coming days, and will fly their Russian air force fighter jets and attack helicopters against ISIS and rebel-aligned targets within the failing state.
According to Western diplomats, a Russian expeditionary force has already arrived in Syria and set up camp in an Assad-controlled airbase. The base is said to be in area surrounding Damascus, and will serve, for all intents and purposes, as a Russian forward operating base.
In the coming weeks thousands of Russian military personnel are set to touch down in Syria, including advisors, instructors, logistics personnel, technical personnel, members of the aerial protection division, and the pilots who will operate the aircraft.
Past reports have stated that the Russians were in talks to sell the Syrians a package of MiG-29 fighter jets, and Yak-130 trainer jets (which can also serve as attack aircraft.) The current makeup of the expeditionary force is still unknown, but there is no doubt that Russian pilots flying combat missions in Syrian skies will definitely change the existing dynamics in the Middle East.

Will the Russians pursue ISIS forces into Iraq?
‘Nature abhors an øbamaic vacuum.’
Yes he will. Failure of proxies in the Ukraine, failure of proxies in Syria, he will be muttering to himself about a diamond in his mind and missing strawberries, while snarling about killing anyone, anywhere, for any reason because it of out vital interest in whatever it is.
thats so “.gay”....
I doubt if they go out of their way to avoid “collateral damage”.
Not a good part of the world to make a shooting error.
5.56mm
They won’t be taking prisoners except to cut them up and mail the body parts to their ISIS pals, probably wrapped in pigskin
Yup, Syria coming apart. Another explosion in China. Another Policeman killing by one of Obamas kids.
What does Obama do? Go to Alaska and rename a mountain.
Brilliant.
That’s how POS Obama works. He gets everything in turmoil and goes on to the next thing. He thrives on Chaos and it works for him. He is a master of overwhelming and no one can repair his damage because they can’t address so many problems all at once.
Cloward-Piven on a huge scale.
Good. This means less troops and planes to be used in a possible offensive in Ukraine.
Gads, what a disaster Obama has been for the USA and the world!
POS Obama is as Evil as any man or woman who has ever lived.
Obama is fouling things up so badly that the people will welcome a ‘savior’ to come in and save them.
Obama already does openly support the other side, and that’s news that is years old already, older even than his desperate and cynical attempt to drag us into direct military intervention against Assad.
Hate to say it, but:
Go Russia.
Since someone needs to do it.
I guess.
Lets face it, at the very worst, we’re seein’ dead ISIS and dead Commies. A win-win situation.
You are correct.
And taking out Sadam Hussein was a terrible mistake for the same reasons you state about the Shah of Iran.
Obama in his ignorance of all things American, probably thought Dianli was some African commie who happened to live in Alaska.
Yep. BIG mistake. Government of the ME needs to be left in the hands of “bastards.” Trying to introduce democracy there was a bad idea - with the exception of Israel there is no one in the ME capable of democratic self-government and I doubt there ever will be.
Well, this is ONE thing the Russians are doing (i.e., bombing ISIS) with which I agree. What’s our fearless, young president doing...sightseeing in Alaska (August being the most popular month for that).
“Yep. BIG mistake. Government of the ME needs to be left in the hands of bastards. Trying to introduce democracy there was a bad idea - with the exception of Israel there is no one in the ME capable of democratic self-government and I doubt there ever will be”.
You are absolutely correct on all points.
And we know that is how POS Obama got the idea for his “Arab Spring”. Thank God the Egyptians got back on track.
Welcome to the Party Russia! Your a bit late but we welcome the Red Airforce support. Lets make IS go bye-bye. Once again—Russians and Americans, shoulder to shoulder, fighting evil!
Once againRussians and Americans, shoulder to shoulder, fighting evil!
But the Americans, under orders from POS Obama, won’t pull their weight.
