The Kuwaiti report adds that Russian forces have already taken over multiple strategic positions and have forced numerous rebel battalions to retreat.

In an unprecedented move, Russia has sent ground-troops into the Syrian battlefield in support of Bashar Assad as the dictator struggles to maintain his power in the continuous four-year-long civil war, according to a report by Kuwaiti daily al-Rai.

The report, which has not been substantiated by other sources, claims Russian military forces have been providing cover for T-90 tanks along with military air support which have attacked multiple strategic targets held by rebel forces in Idlib and Latakia.

The Spetznaz will kill the rebels and the families and destroy all their homes and places of business. Vlad does not mess around.

Just wait until the Russians capture/kill CIA agents with the islamic rebels (not ISIS).

Or give captured TOW missiles to their rebels in the Ukraine.

That is going to make for one fun press conference.

Any CIA in the theater should only be there to wipe out islamist filth. They should be feeding Ivan directions to the islamo targets.

As a retired military person, I say its not fair. We have to join the Russians so we too can test our latest equipment. If they are leaving as Battalions they should be easy targets, even if they are moving. I bet the Russkies will use cluster bombs when we won’t. We should be seeing highways of death all over the ISIS territory. Give Putin time, he’ll do it.

And when John Mclames rebels get licked. Putin will move on to ISIL. Those that survive will blend into the populace and migrate to the West. Well done Washington, well done.

Damn if they do, damn if they don't. Dead men walking, CIA needs to buck Odunga at a minimum, if not bring him down.
