Expect CNN, BBC and other Western media to start spreading propaganda about how Russian strikes are killing innocent people and expect Linda Ikeji to copy and paste.

Is this the beginning of the next big war or probably the third world war?

Just one miscalculation would most likely lead to a big war with how the Iraqi and Syrian air space are crowded with fighter jets from different countries whose interests don't align. The Americans and Arabs gulf sheikhs won't let their billions of dollars worth of investment in ISIS and all these Jihadist groups go to waste like that. Ditto Israel who benefits the most from how unstable these countries are.

Expect a long war - Syria and Iraq are the battlefield for now, and it will most likely move to other countries in Euroasia.

Russia has woken the ghost of USSR back from the dead via Putin - the battle line as been drawn. Enjoy the movie. grin
The way you guys overestimate russia is funny.
You just wait till a republican gets into the white house and watch how putin is put in his place.
Just like carly fiorina said, the US have talked too much with russia. It is time for an overwhelming action.

What exactly does the US want for Christ's sake?? Time and again, coalition airstrikes have proven totally ineffective against ISIS, yet they grumble about Russia's emergence on the theatre.

US caused all the mess we are seeing in the mideast today. The root of all the chaos could be traced to the removal of Sadam and then exacerbated by the removal of Gadaffi. The power vacuum created by their removal gave the terrorists the much needed impetus to emerge from their caves and launch such viscous campaigns as never seen in modern times.

These were strongmen that sort of kept belligerent non state actors at bay, but today, we don't get to see headlines from the region without ISIS, Houti Rebels and those from Libya featuring prominently.

In this campaign, I'd put my money on the effectiveness of the Russians than the US. The Pakis were able to mitigate the excesses of the Taliban soon after US airstrikes ceased (or drastically reduced) in their country- what I'm saying is that the US isn't known to fix armed conflicts anywhere in the world either with boots on ground or jets in the air, their presence rather tends to make the situation deteriorate.

The only problem with this is that Asad stays, against the desires of most of the citizens of the country. The Arab spring was never meant for them, I guess the Tunisia and Egypt were just lucky.
Good Thought, as far as world issues are concerned most recently; particularly SYRIA, the US have been just too annoying and their HYPOCRISY sickening undecided

They OVERESTIMATE themselves, they think it's THEIR WAY or NO WAY even if their way isn't working.

They don't even RESPECT the UN when it comes to decision making on issues like these...

Is this what it means to be AMERICAN ? undecided, SMH!

If the Russians can do the job of cleaning the ISIS out, then, goodluck to them. We shouldn't be seeing USA as the only world police, when Russian are equally good when it comes to dealing with a stubborn nations or groups. American are only interested in any war that will bring interest to them, and if Russian is doing the same, so be it. I give them my blessing.

The russians don't care about the world. They just want to prop their ego and stand up to america.

Russia is reacting to the encircling of the country and they know the ultimate prize is Siberia.

Ukraine is safe now and it's a buffer zone, with Crimea now under Russia. And Syria is next...so Russian Navy has enough to defend itself.

All the lousy missile defense systems in Poland and stealth nuclear missile systems in Germany are toys compared to what Russia has in stock.

Air strikes without a strong and powerful ground troops can't halt the spread of ISIS and Russia knows this. The strikes are mainly targeted at the opposition forces who are fighting Assad. Russia's strategy is to weaken the opposition forces and then force the western powers to see Assad as the lesser of the remaining two evils and hence, form a coalition to defeat Isis with Assad still in place.
