Why not take it one at a time,start with creating stability in Syria by supporting Assad to conquer ISIS. Fix an election date(this will give the people hope of removing Assad and automatically turn all the Rebel groups in Syria to Political Parties). ISIs will be history once there is stability in Syria and Iraq

when i read about the Russian decision to air strike ISIS i was surprised at the derogatory comments even Americans pass on their country. many even believe Washington is the on subtly sponsoring ISIS.
could you imagine Russia only gave US 1hr notice to evacuate themselves from Syria airspace before they began the air striking.
They gave the US 1 hour because the united States are known to pass information to ISIL eg. Some ISIL foot soldiers attacked a Russian base in Syria but several of them were killed while the few that were captured had satellite images of the Russian base in their pocession; the Russians analyzed it and found out that it came from the United States.

Several facts shows that the United States have not really hit ISIL but have given them a lifeline of weapons and steady inflow of men & income from stolen oil sold by them; How do we explain the non effectiveness of over 2,000 air bombing raids by the united States and her allies on ISIL?

Russia is doing what the United States failed to do because their vested interests and that of their allies Saudi Arabia and Turkey just to mention a few. Syria is a checkmate for both parties involved in the Syrian crisis.

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.

Lmao.

Most folks don't even know that Russia has the best and most quiet new submarines right now. So good, the US daily, Dailybeast, called it MYSTERIOUS: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/08/21/russia-s-got-a-mysterious-new-submarine.html grin

And the T14-Armata is about a decade ahead of its time. Let them keep believing the hype and noise out of Pentagon and hollyweird. Putin isn't playing games with no one - especially when it comes to modernising Russia's military.

The Russian Sukhoi PAK FA/T-50 fighter jet is already superior to both US' F-22 and F-35.

Do you know what the outcome of a war between Russia and USA would be?

Who are the allies of both nations?
The US has no allies, NATO members are indirect colonies of the US that were conquered by the US while pretending to be giving them defense umbrella during WWII.

WWIII would be entirely different and most of US "allies" would not participate due to fear of Russia and the Chinese (fear is the main reason why they dare not oppose the US for now).

A Russia-China-Iran-India-North Korean axis would be something else. kiss

True even recent United States military simulations shows that the United States cannot defeat the Russians in all out war but they tend to play it down later saying there is a probability that they can win on the long run if they deploy all their troops & equipments from bases all over the world to fight the Russians.

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.
I'm still baffled with the way US turned a blind eye to the *Arab Spring* in Bahrain when the majority Shiites marched aGainst the ruling Sunnis and Saudi Arabia had to send in soilders to quell the insurrection while the US turned a blind eye to it. My questions are


1. Is Bahrain arab spring diffrent from Libya's



2. When ll Saudi Arabia be termed an axis of evil with their support for fundamentalist



3. What is Saudi Arabia doing in Yemen with airstrkes targeting the Houthis who are no diffrent from the FSA in syria


4. What is the US gain in all these because Oil is being explored in US thru shale but the US forays in the middle east is escalating.

That is what Russia proposed but the US refused because they knew that Syrians will always vote for Assad. He gives them free health provisions, free education, financial support and so many things a good government would provide for its people. The Syrians don't want to turn their country to Libya.

The US has never fought any proper conventional war with a super-power and if a war were to break out between the two - even the bookies would make the Russians the favourite. A country that defeated the Nazis alone by itself - even when the Nazis had the superior technology and military is nothing to play with.

Military equipment alone don't win wars - defense capabilities and the morale of the soldiers are also part of the equation. We know the Russians have the military hardware, defense capabilities, and they're the most patriotic folks you'll ever see - mother Russia is all they know and they'll defend it with the last man standing. Do the yanks have the same thing, apart from military hardware? - if Vietnam, Korea, and every other war they have been involved in should be used as a premise - US soldiers don't have that mental toughness to keep going when it gets tough. And once there's no air cover/superiority - they always break.

Anyway, I hope there's no miscalculation and we all get along. Enough of these wars and bombings of small countries. Hopefully Russia will provide the needed cover for more countries from US bombs in future.

For the Saudis, it is about eliminating competitors in the oil & gas business. For the US, it is about sorrounding Russia with hostile governments and terrorists to consume some of their military strenght.

the only way to fight against terrorism is to fight against the terrorist belief system , if we wipe out IS ( remember it use to be al qaeda )another terrorist group will rise with a different name ... with the same belief system that all these terrorists groups have in common . The aim of all should be to fight against the doctrines and belief system of these extremist. Without a belief system these guys will not exist

The US doesn't care about no Arab spring or anyone - apart from whatever it orchestrates to protect its influence/interests. It will support the devil and use its media to paint him as a saint -as long as the devil can protect its interests.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE should have been bombed time ago - these three countries are the biggest threat to world peace (apart from US of course), yet the US is in bed with them. Together, they created Jihadists and all these Muslim extremists.

Apart from bombing the crap out of #Libya via #NATO the British planned the war with Syria in 2009 2 yrs before the "Arab Spring" using “moderate” terrorists. Think Al Qaeda aka “The Database.”

In a live TV interview the Ex French Foreign Minister, Roland Dumas, reveals all:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeyRwFHR8WY

Fake Gov't propaganda via #MSMLies tries to convince us the UK/US et al are fighting IS except they're using them to topple Assad:

If they'd wanted to take out IS they could have bombed their long supply convoys as they crossed over to Iraq last summer before the fall of Mosul.

2007- Multiple Pullitzer winning journalist, Seymour Hersh, The Re-Direction article in the New Yorker:

"To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabia’s government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.

This same ISIS group that most of you are all just hearing about is the same ISIS (together with Jabhat Al-Nusra, Abu Bammer,FSA,etc) that Bashar Al-Assad has been fighting in Syria for the past 4 plus years. The same ISIS that Senator McCain paid a solidarity visit in 2013! The same ISIS that have been clothed in the garment of "moderates" to sell the idea of arming them overtly to the gullible American public. The same "moderates" (ISIS) that Obama has asked congress for an additional 500 million to arm. The same "moderates" that have been the recipients of non-lethal aid (those gleaming new trucks and all) for the past 4 years. The same ISIS that these so called coalition air strikes have had no effect whatsoever against.

ISIS is a terror horde created by the CIA and Mossad, fiananced by Saudi and Qatar petrodollar (Yes, believe it or not, Saudi & Qatar are in cahoots with Israel and the US by unleashing wahabist/salafist elements that espouse a violent brand of Sunni Islam against the Iranian dominated shia crescent that both Israel & Saudi & Qatar see as a threat ), trained in Jordan and supported logistically by Turkey with the U. S. Embassy in Ankara serving as operational headquarters. Now one of the terrorist groups, Al-Nusra has been delisted by Turkey (NATO member) and what's more, this same Al Nusra has merged with ISIL otherwise known as ISIS and now known as IS.
