'LADIMIR Putin has dispatched his most elite special forces team to Syria to hunt down and wipe out Islamic State (ISIS) militants.

The Russian supremo ordered the deployment of soldiers from his fearsome Spetsnaz unit to root out and eliminate packs of fleeing jihadis.

A battalion of elite paratroopers also ghosted into the war-torn country this week as Putin ramps up his assault on the Islamist fanatics and rebel forces fighting to topple dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The deployment of the Spetsnaz - the elite of the elite in Russia's army who have to undergo a gruelling training programme to earn their stripes - is the latest example of the megalomaniac leader's ruthless determination to shore up the rule of his close ally.'

Is anyone pursuing the hundreds who have left their positions and are fleeing to Europe?

That could have been the U.S. dispatching the Seals, and more covert black ops and wet ops to clean up these vermin. And I believe they would have been glad to risk life and limb to do it, too.

But we are ruled by gutless, pantywaist bedwetters. No guts, no glory.

Well, that should slow down the recruitment effort online for ISIS. Allah is no match for the Russian Special Forces.

Took the words right out of my mouth (although you said it better than I would have).

The damage to our reputation around the world is incalculable.

Yes, Obama is tracking them down right now so he can bring them to America. They're "refugees" don't cha know.

—I doubt that the Spetsnaz forces need to have a lawyer’s approval before every squeeze of a trigger, either—unlike U.S. military-—

No actual evidence that this is true.

I bet the women and transgenders that made it thru the Russian Spetnaz training are FEARSOME.

By taking out isis, putin will endear russia to many in the mid east.
Something obammy just isn’t man enough to do.
Obammy is raising his stature with surrender monkeys though.

Is it wrong to hope that both sides have a lot of success?

THAT's how you put an end to ISIS! Not with a bunch of lawyers and punishing soldiers who stop child rapists!

To the russkies: "Kill 'em all and let GOD sort 'em out!

Something tells me Vlad’s rules of engagement and interrogation techniques are far less politically correct than what our gelding leadership allows our special forces to do.

this is what happens when one commits to win. They are committed to support their client statist Bashar and are doing it. Obami, not so much for anyone with whom we have any alliances. In fact this is easily traced back to one of his off the cuff quotes about an aliance: that happened before I was born. IOW, if it did not happen after the great hatching in Kenya, it does not count.

Putin obviously read about Patton’s philosophy: attack attack attack. Not saying I like the KGB colonel but one has to admire his tactics: sighted enemy, sunk them.

I doubt the Ruskies will get them all OR, they will be the most barbaric group to go down in history. Read the link.

Everyone is worried that Putin will defeat ISIS and then things will get much worse in that putrid cesspool called the middle East. What difference does it make? Really, what difference does it make.

Those people over there are nothing more than barbaric animals and when one social group is defeated another will arise. The thing to know is that they are Muslim...and the Koran is their guiding light that has kept them in the dark ages since it was written...and nothing is going to change, for it hasn’t since the 6th century.
