Good for the Russians.
They are going to do more good in Syria and the ME than Obama and the Euroweenies ever contemplated and secure an empire for themselves there as well.
Just think, it could have been ours except for idiots like McCain and crypto-jihadists that make up the Obama administration. There never were any “moderate” Syrian rebels of significance there... We should have backed Assad.
That would have been unthinkable 15 years ago. But thanks to Bush II and Obama, you might well be correct.
Well, that’s what you would think, right?
no more Chinese embassy bombings like mistakes.
I think tanks are best suited for offensive operations. I could be wrong, I often am.
All the US advisers who are embedded with ISIS (oops... “rebels”) better think about clearing out of there.
US Marines never get the latest and greatest of anything.
Almost all hand-me-downs.
They complete their missions the old fashioned way...ground assault backed by mechanized infantry and close air support.
I expect you'll see similar effectiveness and valor on the part of the Russians in Syria.
The FSB will be running Mosul in 6 months or less, with ISIS relegated to Anbar province in Iraq. Syria will be cleared of them.
If Obama acts quickly, he can support ISIS with Navy air cover and covert ground troops, while continuing the gun & MANPAD running through State, and eliminate Assad like he did Qaddafi.
That'll fix all the problems in Syria.
Like Libya.
We disbanded the Iraqi Officer Corps and their entire military.
We SHOULD have left it intact, but our dummies couldn't see that far.
Yes, remnants of Saddams army are ISIS.
How well did a fully intact and supplied Iraqi army do the last time they faced a modern army?
Interesting, but one of the least favorite places to be on the battlefield right now is in a “moving foxhole”. That’s because of the enormous number of antitank weapons that have been fielded. There is a surfeit of tank killers out there.
Yes, but certainly not what I’d expect.
Yes. These kinds of things are normally used in a war. Hope ISIS gets to see them soon.
I wonder how ISIS is going to react when they come face to face with a Russian tank operated by someone who has to go through them to get home.
They won’t run away. The won’t be captured.
ISIS Fighter jets?
Bwwahahahahahah!
There are only a few fighter jets flying around there. They have stars on them.
and you can’t hide inside your mosque or a school from the Russians...they’ll flatten those structures without blinking
Here’s hoping these Russians get the same greeting they received in Afganistan.
Kill them russians
You are siding with the jihadis?
I only said they’re Russia’s version of the Marines because they were naval infantry landing in Syria.
