Russia's strongman Vladimir Putin has been overseeing the daily airstrikes in Syria from a colossal three-floor war room in Moscow.

Long rows of identical desks and computer terminals are crammed into the enormous space, filling up three floors with analysts monitoring activities in the conflict zone.

Sitting at a desk on the central level of the first floor, the Russian President can be seen observing every detail. Putin is surrounded by his trusted military advisers, who have been working hard to shore up the Assad regime in Syria.

Mission control.

There is some sense to it.

Not impressed. I’ve been in a couple of war rooms....that ain’t one. Well, it is not operating as one in these pictures. Its a show. Desks are too clean, not enough spilled coffee on floor, desk jockeys have WAY to clean and neat appearance. This was staged. That being said, go Russia, kill some IS for us.

Unfortunately, that’s the entertainment for Obama’s favorite generals and admirals: the ones who think that gay soldiers, sailors, and Marines are a great idea.

That is really not a credible picture. That is an ops center staffed by automata for PR purposes.

An American ops center is littered in paper, coffee cups and real people looking like they are working the 12 hr shifts on top of their normal staff duties that they really work. And they are in battle fatigues because they are there to get work done, not show off for international television.

The flower baskets at the front are a nice touch — Strangelovian perhaps.

I hope they show ISIS zero mercy , as they show none to others. I would love to see main force Russian soldiers pulling ISIS survivors out of the rubble by their beards and hair and blowing them away with AK’s.

Didn’t you ever clean up for your class picture?

US fighter pilots say they are denied 75% of targets, the TSA fails 95% of performance tests, and American intelligence is massaged to fit the narrative. Pardon me if I admire a country who appears to be doing it right.
