Russian Air Force Strikes ISIS in Al-Raqqa and East Aleppo: Terrorists Suffer Heavy Casualties
AlMasdar ^ | 10-5-2015 | Leth Fadel

Over the last 48 hours, the Russian Air Force has targeted the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) with relentless airstrikes above the provincial capital of the Al-Raqqa Governorate and the terrorist group’s stronghold inside the Deir Hafer Plains in the Aleppo Governorate’s eastern countryside.

On Sunday morning, the Russian Air Force struck ISIS again with a flurry of airstrikes above the Tabaqa Military Airport and the Tabaqa National Hospital, destroying another weapons depot belonging to the terrorist located inside the storage facility that is situated to the north of the military barracks.

Meanwhile, to the east of the Al-Raqqa Governorate, the Russian Air Force propelled the Syrian Arab Army’s “Cheetah Forces” into the village of ‘Ayn Sabil near the Kuweries Military Airport after repeated airstrikes along the Deir Hafer Highway; specifically, the Thermal Plant that has been turned into an ISIS base.

Fierce firefights are still ongoing between the Syrian Armed Forces and ISIS at the village of ‘Ayn Sabil; this battle has recently intensified with the arrival of the Syrian Arab Army’s Cheetah Forces and the National Defense Forces (NDF) to the Al-Safeera District in east Aleppo.

According to a military source in the Aleppo Governorate, the Russian airstrikes have killed over 75 terrorists in the last 48 hours, as they continue this massive aerial campaign in northern Syria.

The terrorist group has been immobile in northern Syria as of late; this is a direct result of the Russian Air Force’s prevalent airstrikes that are hitting any ISIS convoy making their way across the vast desert highways around the country.

It seems Putin has a larger plan in mind:

1. He’ll bulk up in Syria after decimating ISIS in Syria
2. Then with Russia’s ally, IRAN, they will then split Iraq in half.

That may be fine with us because we have enough oil here now and the Russians will be the world’s anti-muzzie policeman for a while. They’ll become the hated target of the muzzies instead of us.

Maybe Bork Obunga is smarter than we think (in screwing up so much in the Middle East)? [Actually, I don’t think Obummer is planning this, he’s just a major f’up, but it might turn out positively for the US]

Does anyone else see this scenario as I do?

They don’t seem to be marching as many Christians to their beheading parties lately.

Amazing how simple and effective this strategy is. “If we catch you moving or out in the open, we will kill you! If we find your hiding places, we will kill you!:

‘According to a military source in the Aleppo Governorate, the Russian airstrikes have killed over 75 terrorists in the last 48 hours, as they continue this massive aerial campaign in northern Syria’

Yes it made me so angry to see the satellite photo of that pristine highway with all of our Toyota trucks being driven back and forth with ISIS terrorists and weapons while our Government lied and told us they are degrading ISIL.

McCain seriously needs to be carried away in a straight jacket. He is insane!. And he also must be anti-Christian.

***I have decided I will start worrying about the Russians and Putin immediately after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voices concern . ***

I’ve already thought this.

They are all ISIS.

Our choice is a dictator or an Islamic theocracy. We’ve been backing ISIS and AQ with taxpayer dollars.

What happens to people who expose the truth? They get Benghazi-ed.

The Russians don’t give a good goddamn about women and children or any innocents either.

Like the West does either, see Dresden, or Hiroshima. Or even Rwanda, where all we did was look the other way.

If the problem is serious enough, innocent lives are just part of the price of the solution. Remember that ISIS is on Russia's border, not ours. It's a more serious problem for them.

The West has become stupid. In Sweden, innocent Swedes dying and getting raped is considered a fair price to pay for 'saving' all those 'Syrian' 'refugees'.

The question is not about whether innocents get killed, but which ones and how many. If Russia beats ISIS, there will be fewer dead overall, compared to letting the cancer spread.

A couple passes of a B-1 would remove a column of ISIS very quickly.
