In a joint statement, a coalition made up of the United States, Britain, Turkey, France, Germany, Qatar and Saudi Arabia accused Russia of attacking the Syrian opposition and civilians, instead of fighting ISIS.

“These military actions constitute a further escalation and will only fuel more extremism and radicalization,” the statement said.

Not if the extremists and radicals are all dead...

The US pacified the Japanese (with the bomb). It's time for the Russians to pacify the Muslims

The Russian Air Force, not led by homosexuals, politically correct women, and affirmative action, hit the targets that were identified. Unlike the USAF with smart bombs, the Ruskies hit their military targets and left the hospitals alone.

Obama’s main goal is to get rid of Assad. ISIS and other groups also want to get rid of Assad. I have no doubt Obama was helping all these groups to some degree as they have the same goal.

The problem as I see it is these groups are more than likely worse than Assad. We know for sure ISIS is. So Obama found himself in a dilemma and left the door wide open for Putin and he came right on in. Another major screw up by Obama.

“These military actions constitute a further escalation and will only fuel more extremism..."

So why would anyone fight ISIS if military action only fuels more extremism?!

Nitwits.

The Russians are about to solve Obama's Syrian refugee crisis in Europe by stabilizing Syria.

Militarily.

Yeah, concerned that Putin has stones and told the UN and the rest to pound sand...

Bout time, I wish the UN would go away, just a retread of Wilsons League of Nations which was the earliest attempt at a New World Order...

Hitler showed them just how powerful they are with nothing more than words...

Like some politicians now, all kinds of promises to do things that they have never even comprehended and we want to put them in the drivers seat? Not anymore than I want a Career Politician to be elected to anything ever again!!

The United States refuses to protect and secure it’s own violent lawless borders. And now they feign concern over Syria, and every other country on the planet, while making terrible deals with our enemies and Israel’s enemies?

Bull s**t.

But as the Russians are showing us, putting your target in boiling water, putting a lid on it, and keeping the heat on for sufficient time will.

Qatar is complaining??

Would that be the same terrorist-loving Qatar that gave sanctuary to those 5 Al-Quaeda creeps traded for Bergdal, and will soon be releasing them? THAT Qatar?!

If they’re opposed to Russian involvement, then we can be sure Russia is doing the right thing.

Russia's just creating "Wide Open Spaces" for the return of all the refugees.

The Dixie Chicks approve!
