Russian airforce to help in Syria

[dunksby]

I don't agree with Obama administration's handling of Syrian war either, they keep training the Islamists and give them weapons then are surprised when they turn their coat and join ISIS gifting all American weaponry to them.

US-trained Division 30 rebels 'betray US and hand weapons over to al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria'
Pentagon-trained rebels are reported to have betrayed US and handed weapons over to Jabhat al-Nusra immediately after entering Syria

This is just one example

Nope

Yep. Your boy Obama handed weapons and US tax payer funding to ISIS and various other radical fundamentalist Islamic groups, and then labeld them as "noble freedom fighters", and "allies"

Except American government already criticising the Russians and it hasn't even been a week yet.

I have no doubt Obama is trying to keep Russia an enemy

When are people going to figure out what side Obama is on?

Other than calling on Assad to step down, the US did nothing. Direct US involvement came way later. Lots of folks argue that by not getting involved early let a vacumn occur that allowed extremists to move in

Wrong. Obama gave ISIS weapons and funding. He marketed them to the US public as noble freedom fighters vs evil emperor Assad. Him and his lap dog David Cameron tried to drag us and the UK in to a war in Syria, fighting on ISIS' side, but luckily congress and the UK parliament shut that shit down.

So Civil War broke out in Syria over transit gas pipelines? What steps did we take to control them?

Now the U.S. wants to flex it's muscle after Putin politely asks them to step aside.

you're jumbling Up a couple things -- ISIS is not Nusra -- you're the Division 30 plan has been a debacle. However this too little effort started in 2015 (too late?) And represented a change in course.

It's been a Bay of pigs level disaster. As soon as they hit the battlefield they were kidnapped by nusra And assad bombed their headquarters from planes.
The head quit saying it wasnt A serious effort to set a force that
Could stand alone and fight

The reports now are that Russia warned us to get our planes out of the area because they were going to attack ISIS. Putin pulls the rope a dope on Obama and instead bombs the moderate rebels who we were working with.... and had CIA support. Putin is straight up out maneuvering Obama..

this is so funny.... I had to quote myself. Our leader is out here getting embarrassed on world wide stage.

[KevinNYC]

Shit just got real for ISIS and other savages

You do realize the Putin's main motive in Syria is keep Assad in place, correct? ISIS is secondary at best.

Charles Lister who is quoted in the article you posted on Division 30 is a Syria watcher who is very Anti-Assad, he argues in so many Putin is going to take advantage of anti-ISIS cover to go after Assad's enemies. His tweets today say it's already happening.

Main point to takeaway from today:

The ENTIRE Syrian opposition now sees itself in full-scale war with #Russia. A hugely significant shift.
......
Extremists are main benefactors of #Russia’s intervention, esp. AQ.

In the past week, 2 jihadist factions have joined AQ in #Syria.
.......
The fact that #Russia’s strikes have resulted in minimal/any U.S. condemnation reinforces key jihadist narrative:

"West doesn’t care"
......
#Syria conflict dynamics changing fast. Wouldnt be surprised if we start seeing MANPADS arriving soon. Only US ‘embargo’ prevented till now.
......
US: #Russia strikes likely struck non-#ISIS targets in #Syria.

Russia: Our strikes targeted 8 ISIS positions.

FSA: Russian strikes hit us.

Putin is the alpha politician in world politics right now.

Obama has everything going for him and all the resources and is repeatedly getting schooled in basic political maneuvers by Russia. They are straight Game of Thronesing us.

Taking bets on whether or not Putin eliminates ISIS before Obama is out of office.

We have a year and a half.
