Vladimir Putin has signed a decree drafting nearly 150,000 conscripts into the Russian military as Moscow's warplanes unleashed a new wave of airstrikes in Syria.

How much vodka do you have to have consumed to do THAT? That cat could rip out all of their throats in about 5 seconds.
Your poster forgot the Israeli forces, the most important of which is the Mark I Lord of Hosts. :>)
Oh, and the single most highly combat-experienced air force in the region, if not the world.

Putin caught each one of them.
Blessed with the best military in the world, Obama has parlayed his kingship (figuratively) to that of a pawn over the course of 6.75 years.
It is astonishing how bad a president he is.
Folks, Putin is not on our side. He’s not on the side of those who want peace in the Middle East. He is there for ulterior motives.
He doesn’t need 150,000 troops to rid the region of ISIS.
This is not a good thing.
Since this is a routine call up for a one year hitch, it won’t free up any troops to send to Syria.
