Russia has released footage which shows its fighter jets targeting oil trucks and a refinery, as Moscow confirmed it hit more than 200 targets in Syria in 127 sorties. On Tuesday alone, the day Russia confirmed a terrorist attack caused the downing of a passenger jet in Egypt, it hit 206 targets a defence ministry source told RT. France meanwhile said it had destroyed 35 targets since the terrorist attack. As well as flying from an airfield near Latakia, they also flew strategic bombers from Russian territory.

Putin doing the job Obama refuses to do. What a thing of beauty to see those Backfire bombers dropping their bomb load. Not quite up to B-52 levels. Hopefully we will see the White Swans make some massive bombing runs too.

This will do more than just shut down cash flow. The area needs refineries to provide transportation fuel. Destroying infrastructure will reduce ISIS ability to control the area.

It will be an extra hardship on those still living there, but life sucks in a war zone. Better to end the situation, even if brutally, than allow it to continue.

The EXEMPT undocumented Democrats:
"During that time, we have sent the IRS
against 20,000 of our voters

and covered up more than 200 crimes of treason
by our Moslem King and Tyrant,
may he and we rule forever."

I think he’s trying to wipe out the Syrian Rebels as fast as possible, before USA comes in to aid them.

“I still can’t believe I am agreeing and siding with a KGB guy.”

The ironies are epic in these times. For what it is worth though, the KGB was the institution that failed the Soviet Union at the end. They decided to let the system fall. Of all organizations, they were the ones that had the real facts and the real statistics, and they decided Marxism-Lenism had failed, and would always fail. They pulled the plug. Of course, that too is another irony.

Greed is a powerful force and seeing the amount of money their former spooks have now would indicate a motive for them helping to let that system fail.

But they had help. Reagan, Thatcher, and Pope Yoda. (John Paul).

All true! Those were good times. I was young and naive enough to think the war was over. Still, glorious days.

With the advent of the Internet (Thank you Al Gore) we can view the history as it is being made. We don't have to wait for the media of any country to give us the “news”...it is at our fingertips and in some cases in High Def.

In living, or in the case of the ISIS scum, dying color.
