Remember, facts don’t matter to Putin. What he can present to his subjects as victory and strength is all that matters.

Agree to a point. It's obvious that our guys were held back though - no doubt in my mind about that.

More from the article:

"Now obviously one must consider the source here, but Kremlin spin tactics aside, one cannot help but be amazed with the pace at which this is apparently unfolding. If any of the above is even close to accurate, it means that Russia is on schedule to declare victory over ISIS (and everyone else it looks like) in a matter of weeks, which would not only be extremely embarrassing for Washington, but would also effectively prove that the US has never truly embarked on an honest effort to rid Syria of the extremist groups the Western media claims are the scourge of humanity."
