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.
âOn 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,â 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.

Thanks. I appreciate the clarification. I agree with your thoughts there.
He’s a pretty crafty individual. You may think he isn’t operating on all cylinders, but he’s generally way ahead of you.
Some questions they ask you don’t have decent answers. When he sees one of those, he just walks around it in a manner of speaking.
It drives them nuts, because they craft their questions to force a gotcha moment. Then it bombs on them. LOL
I agree, let’s see other confirmation rather than the official state media saying this.
How did that story of 6 weeks ago work out that ISIS was hours away from annihilation?
...according to the occupant of the White Crib.
Must have hit them at a Beheading ritual or some other social event.
My bet—Obama will not step down and try to keep power someway—cancel the election? They will have to blast him out of the White House? He will not go peaceful like.
Ah, got it now.
I bet Assad is baying for every cost incurred. Russia is probably making money on the airstrikes. Obama still has his finger in his bum.
No way! This is propaganda!
I have been observant since 1974. I worked for the Fed for the next 16 years following 1985.
Reagan is the model. He will tell you the 11 most feared words in America.
Think about it. He won in 2 landslides.
“I am from the government and I am here to help”
Wasn’t that great. I loved that line.
I agree that he is the model. We know what his goals were, but with a Democrat Congress he did run into obstacles.
I turned 18 in 1969 and grew up in the age of protests, anti-government sentiment, and the hippy generation.
I did not identify with any of those things. In fact it cost the Democrats any chance of my ever being one.
I considered myself to be a Conservative, but I didn’t grasp things anywhere near as much as I do today.
I could say I was observant since 1969 or so, but I picked up a lot since then of course.
You say:”Very impressive strikes.
Canât wait to see the Russian video.”

Hey! I understood that.
Those reports contradict his fantasy world view and as such are irrelevant to him, besides the only thing he cares about is looting the country like Hillary - both use the same tactics as criminal organizations.
I agree, that’s why I said “the closer he gets to the Constitutional end of his term limit”, meaning he cares less about the Constitution and will do as he pleases.
The question is, if he elects to stay on after 8 years, will the Republicans get rid of him? I suspect the Republicans will put on a big show, file a lawsuit to oust him, the Supreme court will decide in favor of obama. And all in DC will be just happy little clams because the likes of Trump or Cruz or anyone else threatening the Uniparty never stood a chance.
And in the meantime the country and rest of the western world’s race to hell will be accelerated just so the District Of Corruption can live in their happy little bubble.
