I knew it would take a lot to draw France in... Must be a cold winter coming and the Syrian gas and oil are important.
What drew France in was Russian air strikes putting ISIS on retreat and the opportunity for Hollande to go after some low hanging fruit ... Wonder how many security guards and oilfield workers they killed
Viva la France
Well now. Looks like the Frenchy’s got their bluff called. Will they now go all in ? And all of this over one man, Asad. Can understand now why the Europeans have tried to kill each other off so often.
Before the Syrians can have an aircraft carrier, they need to build one. That goes for the Russians, too.
riiight
nuclear tipped tug propellers>>lol
Tons of misinformation and misdirection on the whole Syria/Assad/ISIS issue. For every Kremlin troll advocating Putin’s foreign policy there are 3 or 4 dupes who cite pro-Russian websites as sources. Discouraging.
Assad backed Iraqi Sunni rebels aka Al Quaeda-in-Iraq aka ISIS against US and Coalition forces in Iraq and even sent volunteers and support personnel to Iraq. We collected passports of Syrian KIAs operating away from the Syrian border.
We took a substantial amount of casualties due to Syrian, Iranian and Russian support of both Sunni and Shia rebels in Iraq.
Payback’s a bitch.
Couldn’t give a Rat’s A about Assad, his Iranians or the Russians in Syria. They are all terrorist-support groups who are reaping the whirlwind of the instability in Iraq they promoted from 2004 to 2009.
The hand they fed is biting them.
F-15C’s to Turkey and a French aircraft carrier moving into position? Maybe. It would seem that the material for a “No Fly Zone” is moving into position and that it’s just a matter of declaration.
The thing is... the Russian airforce has a veto.
Issa said: “These strikes target Syrian oil wells and all this is done without the approval of Damascus government, which for us means the violation of our sovereignty”.
Well duh! What does he think the Obama admin and coalition countries have been letting ISIS reign for? It is to lose your sovereignty stupid. That’s what ALL of the so-called “Arab Spring” debacles are designed to do.
If youâd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

It's because they are blinded by their insane political correctness which stems directly from their anti Christian bigotry. They cannot identify evil.
China is not involved in any fashion.
Where does this nonsense originate?
There are certain war mongers in our congress who push us to support mulim terrorists. If Russia/Syria were to take care of that problem the overall problem would be solved. I’m just making a point. I’m not suggesting anything.
And no Chinese assets have been spotted in Syria.
