Still, both the Saudis and Turkey say they are ready to put troops in Syria. All they need is for the US to say "we have your back".
And, they're not going to hear that.
Will they be so dumb as to go in anyway, or will they be forced to lose face?
Let the Russians spill their blood and spend their treasure trying to bring civilization to the Muslim world.
Medvedev said: “.... But don’t try to frighten anyone.”
Translation: “LOL. We all know your boss is a total puss.”
Will this pause be similar to the pause in Ukraine?
“Ivan” will not “knock itself out”
Ivan now is Patton then.
“Our aim isn’t to die for our country.
It is to make the other son of a bitch die for his”
And they will.
Whatever you all may think about Putin or those Russian soldiers, they will kick ass and take names and drive every last goat humpers mother’s son straight to hell
The Turks will then be entering something like their fifth war with the Russians hoping this one will be the charm and they will win.
The Saudis in the first few minutes ... those that survive ... practice their time-honored Yemeni maneuver wherein the drop everything and run ... hoping that by using the new ISIS invention - smearing themselves with mud - that it will both mask the color of their paints and be stealthy enough that the SU-24’s will not see them ...
Imagine whorled peas.
