The Russian military has launched cruise missiles against Islamic State positions in Syria from both the Mediterranean and Caspian seas, one of which killed over 600 terrorists in the Deir Ex-Zor Province, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has said.

“On November 20, the warships of the Caspian Fleet launched 18 cruise missiles at seven targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo. All targets were hit successfully,” he reported to President Vladimir Putin.

Overall, there are 10 warships taking part in the operation, six of which are in the Mediterranean.

Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been suffering huge losses as a result of the Russian offensive, Shoigu said, adding that data on the ground shows that the flow of terrorists arriving in Syria has decreased, while more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.

Over the past four days, Russian air forces have conducted 522 sorties, deploying more than 100 cruise missiles and 1,400 tons of bombs of various types, the minister stated.

In Obama’s worldview, these are two anti-gay groups going at each other. Just saying.

In other news, Obama crossly soiled himself because no one is paying attention to the Office of the Petulance any more...

It’s possible, but more likely it propaganda. Don’t get me wrong, propaganda is a useful war tool.

“A US official said on Friday that Russia has given the US advance notice before airstrikes at least three times since the attacks in Paris, Reuters reports.”

Wonder if there is any evidence that the targets were warned after the heads up to obozo?

Obama has his fingers in his ears going, “La la la la la la la la”, “Done yet... oh no...”, “La la la la la la la la”...

Oh, he’s paying attention, I’m sure. He’s not a happy camper though; his precious “legacy” is down the crapper. Bet he can’t sleep these days unless he takes drugs.

I don’t believe the 600 number. But good for Russia.

“more and more militants are fleeing the warzone to head north and south-west.” ...To areas where Obama controls the ‘attacks’.

His "legacy" . . . will be defined by the certain ISIS strike in The DC Mall or Times Square - it's just a matter of time
