LucidElement Posted March 20, 2016 Author #2 Share Posted March 20, 2016 So maybe Putin pulled out his Russian troops because U.S has launched covert ops in Syria or maybe it's because Russian generals got killed by a surprise car bomb and that didn't look to good... http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/syrian-jihadist-groups-claim-their-car-bomb-killed-russian-generals/560639.html But it's a good thing Obama Administration and specifically John Kerry has admitted FINALLYYYY that ISIS has dealt mass genoicde.. I guess the people getting burnt alive, tortured, hung upside down, beheaded, ect... Isn't genoicde ... http://abcnews.go.com/US/secretary-state-john-kerry-declare-isis-committed-genocide/story?id=37713938 Isis feeds off publicity.... Maybe the U.S presidential election is a good thing , by draining out that noise... However on one side of the coin, if Isis did do something major the news would report it...but Isis, it seems like has not done anything to major and that could be a great sign of U.S captures of the bad guys... The chemical warfare leader was a big one! ... But even more so, you see Isis has been burning bibles... It's messed up, but in reality, the world has endless bibles, can always reprint them... It's much better then ISIS killing individuals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted March 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2016 So far, all Russia has done is make a statement of intention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] I'd say Russkies are very low on $$$, otherwise they would have turned all Syria into rubble like this (Groznyi; more images from Chechen campaign here) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only_ Posted March 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) So far, all Russia has done is make a statement of intention. I'd say Russia has done more than that, since the intervention appears to have turned the tide in favor of pro-governement forces. They are literally recovering every pieces of territories that they had lost in 2014-2015 and Assad is no longer in any danger whatsoever. Putin's move is a game changer at this point.

LucidElement Posted March 21, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted March 21, 2016 That ISIS video of them training is a lot different then our training. =)... More importantly are special forces training. Maybe that is why, when Obama finally approved Special Forces to hit the ground, we have been killing and capturing their top guys. Im glad we have the B52s flying over head too. Nothing like looking up in the sky and seeing/hearing those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MordorOrc Posted March 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2016 So maybe Putin pulled out his Russian troops because U.S has launched covert ops in Syria or maybe it's because Russian generals got killed by a surprise car bomb and that didn't look to good... Nah. Russia will have a few troops remaining in Tartus and Latikaia (however you spell it) but the majority of the forces there will leave over the next five months. And it's actually been quite a boost for Russia for the following reasons. One is that Russia has demonstrated that it can conduct and sustain complex military operations outside of its territorial borders. This is significant because the only other country capable of doing this is the United States. Two, Russian military assistance to Assad's regime has left the Syrian government in a significantly better position militarily. For the first time in the war, the government was actually winning and now has the upper hand in negotiations. At the same time, the withdrawal of forces from Syria will mean that although the government has the upper hand, it will still have to make concessions in order for a lasting peace agreement to be agreed upon. This means that both the government and the rebels are likely to come to an agreement much quicker. Three, this has shown to many dictatorships or authoritarian states around the world that Moscow has their back. This will mean that Russia will have greater influence in world affairs if it sticks to the policy of aiding said dictatorships and authoritarian states. Four is that this actually improves Russia's influence over Tehran and this means that it also gives Russia a bigger foothold in the Middle East and that Iran's future in being a regional power may work to Russia's advantage. Five, the air strikes and other military operations have essentially been a showcase of Russian weaponry and munitions. This has resulted in a massive influx of orders from nations around the world, many of which have not traditionally been customers of Russian armaments companies. Six, the ending of military operations in Syria means Russia can now focus on Ukraine and a way for the country to attempt to broker a deal and remove the crippling economic sanctions. Ultimately the intervention in Syria has done more for Russia that it has for Syria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
