It appears the Ruskies are doing the job Obama was supposed to be doing.
What a shock./s
Finally the terrorists have to fight people who have the same rules of engagement as they do.That’s got ‘em scattering like roaches.
"Intelligence reports say that militants are leaving the areas under their control," he said.
"There is panic and desertion among their ranks," the general said. "Nearly 600 mercenaries have abandoned their positions and are making attempts to get out to Europe."
In just 3 days!
After 18 months of US sorties, Obola still doesn't have a strategy, and ISIS is still in control of large swaths of Iraq.
But, hey, we have Belgium and Nigeria on our side.
TASS is propaganda, and the tweets (I hope) are misdirection. Like all propaganda, it is half-truth. Let’s also hope that the positive half is true.
Rolling up the Obama army.
Ha. Great source. Yeah, I’ll believe it. /S
Ha! Europe better get ready for another wave of "migrants."
If I was a young teen being gang-raped by filthy stinking ISIS men, I would be rooting for the Russians, even if I got blown to bits. Obama is never going to end this.
The Rushkies are in there for how long now— a week? They have accomplished more in that time frame than Boy Bammy’s band aid hits on ISIS. What a fool we have lording over us.
“Targeting the whole Syria”
That’s the message.
I wish the Russians the best of good fortune. Assad is the lesser of evils in that area of the world. The Russians have a strong interest in preventing a popular uncontrollable islamic jihad movement, which have happened before. Watch the movie Khartoum. Same thing, different period (1880s). It seems to me the Russians are acting more like they did pre-Soviet times. We should support them in this action.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say Obama was actually covertly supporting ISIS.
"Great," now we'll have the hard core terrorists as refugees.
The terrorists know Putin and the Russians are serious, relentless, and determined - unlike Obama (unless of course he’s talking about gun control or taxing the rich)......
You have got to hand it to the Ruskies. Even if the statement is only half true the propaganda value (Read: PSYOP Campaign) effectively coordinated with operations on the ground and air is immense. I would bet many of these mooselimb fools from around the world that want to join ISIS after hearing about desertions and panic are rethinking their plans.
I have worked with several former Russian Spetsnaz and they have learned from their own Afghanistan debacle in the late 70's and early 80's. The Russian military without a 300 page legal ROE annex (Read: Rules of Engagement) to their OPORD know how to prosecute this operation in Syria and achieve multiple simultaneous objectives in very short order. Get the popcorn folks. This will be interesting to watch and gain insight to Russian TTPs. (Read Tactics - Techniques - Procedures)
Would hate to be the Press reporting what is going on. If they report civilian casualties, Putin will drop a 1,000 pounder on their heads. Oops my bad, that one got away from us.
