Bravo

This is what is needed to take out evil like ISIS

The Russians have already demonstrated to the Islamists that they are ruthless

Meanwhile, the delusional criminal squatting in the Oval Office plates on, his pot riddled brain focused on melting ice.

Furthermore, let’s give the person who wrote this a pass for being behind on his information because Putin is not going “ unilateral”

The Chinese and Iranians are joining in
Announced yesterday

All part of Obama’s RESET policy.

Russia expanding at blistering speed while Obama vacations and plays Mr. Nice Guy.

Russia is reconstituting the CCCP and Obama is apologizing...

Ever notice that the left never demands that Russia seek UN approval before taking military action to invade a country?

Fine by me. It seems that a million people are voting for Assad with their feet.

The Russians will do this. Then they get the spoils. They get to stop the pipeline going to the Med.

The interesting thing will be what Putin does after the first Russian sailor or marine has their head cut off on Youtube. My guess, and its just a guess, is that his response will not be a weepy comment on TV.

We draw lines and do nothing. The russians draw lines with flamethrowers.

Now that the Chinese are joining in, I’m certain that this’ll be finished, in favor of Assad. Meanwhile Iran is flexing her military might and determined to exterminate ISIS and as a result, China and Iran will become more prominent. I imagine the Chinese are thrilled to exercise/test their military in a combat situation.

We should send General McCain over there to kick some Russian behind.

After all. He started this.

And Putin is getting cheers from some on FReeRepublic who think Putin’s alliance with Assad and Iran are in the US National Interest. Iran, as they naively see it, is now, with Putin, a pro-Christian nation.

A lot of Americans died in Iraq thanks to Syria’s provision of aid and safe haven for both of ISIS’s components- old Iraqi regime intel agents and the late Zarqawi’s Al Qaeda-In-Iraq. The Cold War never ended...Syria had Russia’s full support while funneling their terrorists in to fight coalition troops.

Russia isn’t going there because it is anti-terror, as they have long supported terror when it was in their interest and they still support Syria and Iran who operate Hezbollah terrorists; luckily for Assad, Russia is there to protect Russia’s access to the Syrian port.

“It is not clear what Russian intends to actually do. However, Russia has generally not exercised restraint in military confrontations.”

Let’s start with daisycutters, A-10’s, AC-47 spooky’s, miles long line of howitzers.
No hand to hand combat. Use technology
Grind the Islamists into dust. No quarter, no mercy.

As bad as Iran is (and it is) they don't go head chopping Christians (a large minority of ancient Iranian Christians - mostly Armenians I think) and give them a seat in their elected Parliament as a token. That is more than most Muslim regimes do that the USA backs like Saudi Arabia.

Even though I find all Muslims nutso, it seems the Persian Shia ruled branch of Islam seems somewhat less insane than the Sunni fundies.

And Assad's regime (as well as Saddam's long dead regime in Iraq) protected Christians and gave them access to power in the govt. So maybe the only way a Muslim country can be ruled with religious tolerance is via a strong man regime.

This makes Obama sad :(

The globalist-created ISIS might have a pretty hard time when they are fighting vicious Russians instead of just murdering unarmed local Christians and Yazidis.

Our friends in Turkey and Iran have the same ISIS friends

I don’t even care what Putin’s end game for Syria is, because it beats what I “ think “ may be obama’s end game of yet another Islamist ( future failed) state

I don’t care if Putin wants to keep his base at Tartus, it has been there for decades and all theWH and State department hype about “ unprecedented” Russian military deliveries is a bald faced media propaganda lie to demonize Assad and Russia in preps for us going to a contrived war

I don’t care if he wants a stable but authoritarian regime in Syria as long as it is secular and can have an “ understanding” with Israel as have both Assad’s and he can stop the quite obvious flow of Islamist ideological jihad sewage into Europe, because that is the real strategic value of Syria - it is the gateway from the Middle East to Europe

I don’t even care if Russia sends advanced weaponry to Syria ( or Iran) as long as it only operates correctly with the oversight and help of Russian technicians
