    That's why putin the dog only sent a few thousand troops; he knows many will be killed so he doesn't want to inspire an uprising at home over a very unpopular move to begin with.

    Goomba, Kadyrov who is a Sunni wants to send his troops to Syria. He said the Chechnyans swore on the Quran in 1999, that they will fight terrorism everywhere because it is against Islam. They can't go though without orders from their Commander in Chief Putin. What are your feelings about it?

    According to a BBC documentary. I'm suspicious and I'd need to see the evidence for that claim, because it sounds like pure propaganda spin to me - although I can imagine that a rogue Syrian "businessman" may probably be involved in the black market - but not Assad. It makes no sense.

    ISIS has been selling Syrian oil, but mostly to Turkey (see HERE), which is why Putin earlier complained that the US could bring pressure to bear on US allies to stop buying oil from ISIS. Some also was being shipped to Kurdistan for refining (see HERE). Another buying destination is, of course, Israel (see HERE).

    So called ISIS are probably giving/selling it to Israel.

    Then get out of Georgia, Ukraine (including Crimea) and Syria. Empty slogans mean zilch and fool nobody.


    It would have taken NATO 2 weeks, about the same time it took NATO to overthrow Kaddafi if they wanted to. The Syrian people want to overthrow Assad regime, Russia being true to its medieval backward nature supports the worst regimes on the planet.

    Let me get this straight. If Al Qaeda and ISIS are enemies. That means Russia cannot bomb Al Qaeda because it strengthens ISiS?

    Georgia attacked first. This fact is recognized by all. There is a pair of slowpoke who still does not know it.
    Russian people on Ukraine wanted the state status of the Russian language and federalization. Ukrainian Nazis began killing Russian people.
    Two years ago, NATO terrorists were ready to attack Syria. Russia stopped NATO intervention.

    Putin said he would bomb ISIS, he doesn't and he doesn't bomb Al-Qaeda either. He attacks and bombs the enemies of both. I don't particularly blame him and frankly I don't even care what will happen to Syria but Putin quite predictably lied through his teeth and ridding the world of ISIS is the last thing on his agenda, propping up the regime of Assad is what it's all about.

    LOL, Georgia attacked itself, right? Typical Russian nonsense intended for domestic consumption, it's not fooling anyone outside Russia.


    Ukraine is a sovereign state, it was none of Russia's business ... and pathetically absurd excuse for land theft, invasion and the civil war Russia instigated and fueled.
