Putin: Russia Will Not Deploy Troops in Syria
Al Alarabiya ^ | Sunday, 11 October 2015

Posted on 10/11/2015 9:12:26 AM PDT by nickcarraway

Russia would not deploy ground troops to Syria, where it has been conducting air strikes against what it says are ISIS targets, President Vladimir Putin said Sunday.

“We are not planning on doing this (conducting a ground operation), and our Syrian friends know about this,” Putin said in an interview broadcast on state-run Rossiya-1 television channel.

He also said Russia does not want to get involved in an inter-religious war in Syria. He also explained that Russia does not see a difference between Sunni and Shiite groups.

Well, so much for Putin being dumb enough to get involved in a Mideast quagmire. Another Obama theory disproven by events.

He is apparently deploying spotters on the ground though.

Lack of US spotters in Afghanistan led to hospital bombing.

He also explained that Russia does not see a difference between Sunni and Shiite groups.

A Muzzie by any other name.

China has a few million unmarried military aged males laying around. No one will miss a few thousands.

If that’s true, then who operating the advanced fighting vehicles {T-90s, R166-0.5s, Krasuha-2 AEJs} used only by Russian troops?

My thoughts exactly. “Little Green Men” perhaps?

So, Putin will deploy Iranian troops in Syria, and provide air cover.

This is a lot like what the US tried to do, but the Iranian troops will be far more reliable than the various Sunni factions, many of whom were ISIS or Al-Qaeda, or sympathizers thereto.

Being pro-Assad is not necessarily the same as being anti-ISIS. Different objectives.

True, but I was talking about troops under air cover. The ones we backed were singularly unreliable for the intended purpose.
