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.

I agree. Any CIA assets in Syria and the entire middle east should do whatever they can to detail Obama’s ISIS.

Gee, if true, then Putin has both BALLS and TANKS, and uses them as opposed to Obama who has NO BALLS and SAYS NO TANKS, even if someone is giving him a gift.

Putin On The Blitz versus O’s No Blitz, No Grit, No Gritz.

Yeah, how come the Russians get to test and show off their latest military equipment and we don’t? That’s right it isn’t fair. Obama told us he would be fair.

(Now where do you think all those nice old dictators in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are going to line up to purchase their military equipment?)

Perhaps Vlad will impale their leaders so as to be instructive. Terrorize the terrorists; they are truly the Baboonic plague..

If Obama is against assad then he must be the right guy to support.

Hard to argue with that. At this point I trust Putin more than I do the stupid dumbass community organizer who got into college because of "diversity".

The Spetznaz will kill the rebels and the families and destroy all their homes and places of business.

Ummmm... Did Putin ask the U.N. if he could attack a sovereign country (ISIS)?

Of course not... Putin does what Putin does. No pushback for it either.

Its really nice to see a black guy cuckoled by a honky for a change...

It's safe to say the Russian Bear has his own RESET button.


DingleBarry, who believes his own press and thinks himself invincible, just had to go and try to shame Russia and Putin ( among others ) using the perversion of homo marriage as the vehicle! Big mistake. Now he couldn't get rid of Assad if he begged. You just know that Putin and others like Saudi were mad enough to chew Neutronium.

When the homo-in-chief leaves office, Iran will be re-armed and flushed with cash and firmly in the Neo-Soviet sphere along with their surrogate Syria. He will have also lost Libya and Iraq, and quite possibly Afghanistan. The entire Axis of Evil reconstituted with an Islamic State to boot.

He also will have broken Egypt. How does anyone break Egypt! ~sigh~ I'm just amazed that the Pyramids haven't been leveled yet.

Syria's recognized UN govt asked for the Russians to be there. So Putin is DEFENDING a sovereign country as an ally against a rebellion that is funded from outside sources.

So your statement in programing terms is GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out).

Got it, thanks for your correction. I agree.

It’s nevertheless interesting how Putin probably kills many innocents as “collateral damage” and there’s no complaints about Putin because Putin is Putin!

Unfortunately, jihadis like to hide amongst civilians.

Yeah, I’m beginning to think:

1. There will be collateral damage (civilians) if we attack ISIS.

2. But there will also be LOTS of collateral damage (civilians) WHEN they attack the U.S.

THEREFORE if we believe it’s a CERTAINTY that we will suffer large civilian casualties in the future by attacks on ISIS, then why not do preemptive attacks on them that unfortunately will cause civilian deaths too, but if there are going to be civilian deaths, why not make it THEIR civilians rather than our civilians?

Interesting philosophical question...

The terrorists/combatants...they're all civilians.
