I don’t blame him one bit. He has accomplished more in 2 days than we have in a year. Why would he want our tedious rules of engagement slow him down.

That fear of us in no longer an issue, and they will now do what needs to be done without regard to what we think. .................................... but, but,but, our Secty. of State is a real war hero and he knows how to handle these things. He should immediately take his medals and throw them at Putin to show him who’s boss.

Islamists - our enemy - are being killed from both sides.

I like it.

They know Obama will do nothing.

****************
Its not by accident that Putin is stepping on the pedal at this point. He has planned and waited for exactly the right timing. He knows he has a green light to step on the gas for the next 15 months. Its clear sailing; Obama will do nothing regardless of the level of provocation.

Putin has correctly measured the weak and feckless Obama and is playing his cards right.

Considering Uncle Barry’s track record with Muslims I can hardly blame them.

I wonder what they are thinking about in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea right now. Philippines too.

While the Chinese can’t afford to have what few orders they are getting from the west to completely dry up, they must be looking at this as an historic opportunity.

In a coalition Russia would have to co-ordinate with the other members. Putin prefers that everyone else just have to adjust to whatever Russia does.

RUSSIA WILL BE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE WITHOUT THE COALITION.

Obama’s NOT the person who can get us safely to the other side... Maybe we should stay out of this and pray Trump or some other Republican can pick up the pieces...

That's the truth. The U.S. coalition does nothing more than bomb construction equipment and spends a half billion dollars training four or five men.

The so-called “US-led Coalition” is fighting under such restrictive rules of engagement, that most of the sorties come back with all their munitions. Who would want to join such a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit. The truth is that our coalition is just for show, boob-bait for the Western press and the Gruberite LIVs.

SPOT ON

Putin is going to really fight ISIS - 'bama is just pretending. He would get in the way, majorly - to protect his brothers. -

McShame is furious.

That tells us Putin is spot on.
ePutin has waited all he could - now he sees the mass distribution (95% of the ‘refugees’ are young muslim men - duh - of ISIS into Europe and knows it won’t stop there.

He intends to put in hitch in the re-establishment of the Caliphate. He has NO sympathies for the muzzies.

Our Pre_sent not only has sympathies - he’s helping them all the way - He allowed them to multiply and invade, he armed them with US MRAPS, 10’s of thousands of US rifles and ammunitions, rockets, etc etc...

If not stopped NOW, we will be fighting them in OUR streets -

and their main war strategy, long established, is to flood countries and then multiply like rats - as they have been doing for 40 years - and take over by sheers numbers - their men are, by design, allowed to have five wives and admonished to have 5 children with each - and of course the host countries support them all...

Putin want oil in the Middle East and access to the waters there.

Russia's only Mediterranean naval base for its Black Sea Fleet is located in the Syrian port of Tartus.

Why WOULDN'T he want to keep it?

and for oil? Of course WE never go after oil - BTW. where did all the oil and gold in Libya go? hmmmm

You remember Libya - now run by the Muslim Brotherhood - O'bammy's bros - whom he installed there and in Egypt - Only, Thank God, the people of Egypt threw them out - or they would now control the Suez and the Sinai -

Wanna bet how much worse things would be by now if that had held?
