One report states:
John McCain, chairman of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee, said that he could “absolutely confirm” that Russian air strikes had hit Free Syrian Army recruits who had been armed and trained by the US, a claim that was later denied by the Pentagon.
Briefing reporters in Moscow on Wednesday, a defense ministry spokesman said that the Russian air force had flown twenty sorties targeting ISIL military equipment, communication facilities, arms depots, ammunition and fuel supplies — and did not hit civilian infrastructure or areas nearby.
As to John McCain’s statement-seems honest, especially when the Pentagon denies it-that then becomes common sense. The free Syrian recruits are US backed, and they are there as Syrians to take out Assad. The Moscow statement is not in align with Putin. That is not the priority of Russia, but it is a Russian talking point for the UN and the international community, who see Assad as a barbarian who gases his own people. So, that’s Russian propaganda.
Remember Russia is there for Russia. Syria is a central location with a port Russia needs. Its a launching area for Russia into the Middle East, a strategic location they must not lose. It’s not about Assad to Russia, never has been. Why would Russia care about Assad or ISIS?
They don’t. Obama and his brain trust are the JV team. They got caught making assumptions about the Middle East, and those assumptions were wrong. Obama and the US have been backing the Syrian rebels, many of whom have turned to ISIS and taken US military hardware over to the enemy.
What was happening at Mission Benghazi? Why did we have this outback location for our Ambassador who had quite a number of ex-Navy Seals hanging around a secondary location which seemed to look like they were housing and moving arms. They were moving arms to the Syrian backed rebels, but it backfired as ISIS was getting most of the weaponry. They died there because no one could know. This is not confirmed, but it has been tossed about by the most expert military analyst. It makes common sense.

Ryan Labinski , Just as bad as ISIS?? Really?? America produces 14 Million Barrels of oil per day. America imports 11 Million Barrels of oil per day. Russia produces 11 Million Barrels per day and exports 8 Million Barrels of oil per day. In 2014 Syria produced 33 Thousand Barrels per day. In 2010 Syria produced about 150 Thousand Barrels per day. They consumed 260 Thousand barrels per day in 2011 during their peak prodution which means that even at peak production they still had to import oil.
Currently Syria is estimated to be consuming approximately 200 Thousand Barrels per day when they only produce about 30 Thousand barrels per day! So currectly they import almost all their oil!!
So you are saying a country like Russia which has plenty of oil, consumes only 3 Million 200 Thousand Barrels of their own oil, and exports 7 Million 800 Thousand Barrels of their own oil wants to occupy a country like Syria for it’s oil when it has none and has to import almost all the oil it consumes?? You might want to look for another excuse for Russia’s involvment and get educated before you spread lies and misinformation??
Not sure about Putin, but I know our POTSHIT is a liar.
Well at least there aim is improving
Doesn’t surprise me!
