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.

“To get to the other side?”
Bashar is running out of cannon fodder.
1. Because Obama tried to help the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow Assad.
2. Because Assad is the lesser evil compared to the Muslim Brotherhood.
3. Because doing so will increase Russia's power and influence in the Middle East.
4. Because when Assad finally goes (natural causes, or whatever...), Russia will be in a position to choose his successor.
5. Because Obama will not oppose them.
6. Because "Why not"?
Ultimately to secure a warm water port.
This Revelations stuff is looking a lot more plausible nowadays, isn't it?
Not to mention being very close to Israel via the Earth.
Ezekiel 38, and all that.
But, it is a hook in the jaw that pulls Magog in. What that will be, dunno.
Ezekiel 38 shall come to pass, exactly as prophesied, in the Latter Years (verse 8) and the Latter Days (verse 16).
You can be 100% assured it is going to happen - I think we’re seeing why.
Russia is at least seemingly defending Christians, Obama is not...
As Much as i hate Putin, I hate Obama more.
May God Help Putin save the persecuted Christians in Syria.
Because some white people still know how to kill bad guys.
To fight Obama’s ISIS?
To fight Obama’s ISIS?
That’s really great news!
Finally, Russia is taking steps to support their friends!
(No sarcasm intended or implied)
You can almost hear the footsteps of the Messiah. Maranatha, brother.
BTW, is Obama through screwing around in Alaska?
Knucklehead.

Hallelujah Amen!!
Because of Arab Spring enablers, financiers and Bilderberg type theology worshipers. Goldman Sachs gives a hefty wad of cash too.
There are mixed signals on these actions, the days to come will tell.
This is the Middle East. There are no good guys, only lesser bad guys. The only “rebels” left in Syria facing Assad are Al Qaeda and Isis.Thus, Assad becomes the lesser bad guy by default.Abrams is suggesting there are moderate rebels to support. There are none left. The fifty that were left and Mr Obama spent a half billion training to make it look like he was doing something got killed as soon as they were let loose in the field or ran away. I therefore have no no problem with the Russians supporting the lesser evil.
