Tha Russians are flatly denying that any of their troops are participating in combat "directly" in Syria, but reports of that, and Syrian Gov advances are increasing.

It's been repeatedly reported that equipment shipments to Syria from Russia Doubled this summer.

The Ceasefire/Surrender of rebels in Damascus itself, where there has been heavy fighting for well over a year, is a prime example.

What was a bitter stalemate suddenly turned in Assad's favor over the course of about ten days.

Does Putin intend to take the fight to ISIS directly? (Doing the job that Obama refuses to do)

After 3 years, I still can’t figure out what Obama’s plan for Syria is.

Basis what I see so far, his plan is simply to drive hundreds of thousands of refugees to Europe, and turn Syria into a Jihadi wasteland.

I have been saying for quite some time that the most dangerous flash-point in the world was in Syria.

Obama was humiliated by Putin and made to stand down and cancel a planned strike against Assad. (the chemical weapons standoff)

Obama is a petulant child and I just know he is going to misjudge and overplay his hand in Syria soon. He is unfit for the game of super-power brinkmanship.... he will push us over the brink in Syria before this is finished.

A good way to explain the coming economic collapse is to blame it on the Russians after a major war breaks out...otherwise all fingers will point to his poor leadership.

I’m okay with Russia getting involved. Assad is a bad person, but all other sides in Syria are far worse. I trust Putin to do what is best for Russia, and that is likely far better for America than anything Obama would support.

If Putin wants to take out ISIS why stand in his way?

I’d rather see Russians fighting alongside Assad than ISIS beheading Christian babies. Since Obama chooses the path of bleating from behind and not confronting ISIS beyond a few token strikes, he needs to sit down and STFU.
