A Hama local, who identified himself as Muhannad, 25, said on Wednesday night: “The airstrikes aren’t stopping. We have lost count of them. I can tell it is the Russians. They are faster and the sound of the bombs are different from those of the regime. See how ISIS has allowed syria and irag to become a target practice and a dump site for all kinds of bombs from different countries.

I still winch when the yanks appear helpless with their strikes against ISIS. The yanks should stop supplying arms to FSA and also demobilise them then declare an all out was against Isis because the yanks are still scared of the aftermath of an Assad overthrow with Libya still fresh in their minds

They can't do that cos they have invested billions in those Jihadists - stopping now would amount to defeat.

The war is more of a geopolitical war of interests than what they're telling people, hence they haven't been bombing ISIS the way they ought to.

Hopefully, the Russian won't spare anyone (they won't cos they hate terrorists and a lot of Russian Chechens are also fighting on the ranks of ISIS and AL Nusra and they need Asad in Syria to protect their only naval base in MENA). It's going to be a long war.

Stop reading simple illustrations backwards. I said toys compared to what Russia has in stock (to retaliate with).

The US defense missiles he was alluding to are the Patriot missiles and even the Russian s300s are superior to those missiles. Now, Russia has the s500, which is the greatest defense missiles ever and the Topol that can wreck havoc on anyone. grin

Don't believe the hype - no one can defeat Russia in continental Europe.
Have you heard of the Pantsir-S1 defense system Russia rolled out in June this year? It is formidable and certifies Russia the only nation that cannot be attacked with ICBMs.

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 Tunisia and Egypt were just lucky.

There is a lot of international politics going on; Russian is acting like a school yard bully, just like someone or a nation that feels that, it has lost its international prowess, she want to throw a few bombs here, seize a few country there,etc all in a bid to be recognized as a "world power".

Russian is not there to fight ISIS, they are there to prop up Assad by weakening internal local oppositions against him. Russian wants Assad to stay, the U.S. Wants him gone....since the Russians have shown their hands, let's see who will win. If Assad stays, then Russian wins, but if he is forced out, we know U.S. wins and is the adult here.

Ousted from power and they still hold large territories where they regularly launch attacks. Till this very minutes, the US. is still taking casualties. Why is the US. still keeping troops there if they won the war? Obviously you know nothing about guerrilla warfare
bros u don't know what guerrilla warfare is if the taliban hold large territories they won't engage in guerrilla warfare because the territories which is under control will be defended by fighters if that is not guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare employs hit and run tactics

The yanks might not be funding Isis but their actions contributed to the growth of Isis. The Middle East was ruled by tyrants and dictators who whipped their subjects into line but in came the US that brought their democracy and Human rights which destroyed regimes there

Even if they're not funding them directly - their Arab collaborators are. ISIS benefits no one apart from those who want unstable Syria and Iraq. And there have been stories of western jets dropping weapons in ISIS controlled territories.

Democracy isn't for everyone - MENA is a place that thrives under dictators and strong leaders cos of their religion. Why try to rock the boat in a few countries that aren't under ya influence? Democracy is bogus anyway cos there's no proper democracy in any country. Even the US isn't a proper democracy - if it were, then it won't be a fight between two parties that're birds of a feather.

You are dreaming man. Victory in a conventional war? The Taliban who fought with sticks and stones defeated the United States not to talk about the billions the US. used in bribing Iraqi to stop killing Americans. Let's not even take it back to Vietnam or the Korean war. You read too much MSM (Mainstream Media)[/quote

And you conviently forgot how the Russians were humiliated in Afghanistan as well and they had to run with their tail in between their legs.

The Talibans are integral part of Afghanistan, you cannot get ride of them, yes there bad elements among them, but they are part owners of the state. The only viable solution is to make them part of the government, and that is what the U.S. is trying to achieve..they are doing the same with the homs tribe in Syria, the same exact people Russian is bombing.

Please keep the S500 out of this conversation. It is not meant for this era. Thats a 2050 thing. Russian technologies are always 20years ahead. Doubting? Soviet era's subs are still showing up on international water off the coast of Alaska UNDETECTED! They have the best stealth technology, best defense system, best tank T14-Armata, best subs etc etc.
