As Russia heads into Syria full force, the US and the Russian politicos have wasted no time, trading propaganda. Who knows where lies the truth? The Russians say all the US has been doing is bombing the desert. The US states the Russians are doing everything but targeting ISIS.
One way to break down and cut through the manure, is to detail what we do know, take some of what they say, and apply common sense.
Obama’s big deal has been to say “We will lead from behind”, which when it comes to Syria, that has not worked. One CIA analyst, now retired, remarked Obama wanted to lay back in Syria, see if ISIS would dethrone Assad. Maybe. Then just take out ISIS – whom Obama has called the JV team.
Enter Russia and Putin. Putin said his number one priority was Assad. Not ISIS. So it makes sense that Russia is bombing not ISIS but those who are a threat to Assad – the Syrian US backed rebels.

I believe it !
I’ve said that all along. Obama doesn’t want to hurt his buddies. How’s this going to look when Putin defers Isis in a matter of weeks?
Sherry Murray Dunn Why can’t we take over the Government or have the military arrest him for treason? We have the legal right to do that and so does the Military.
Very true
Randy Petrey You are the one that’s incorrect. Look it up. Obama is the one that formed ISIS. He gave them money, guns ammo, and trucks.
Everyone knows obama can’t talk without telling a lie.
Christian Soto And he should be tried and convicted for treason. Personally I like to see him dead!
Kind of figured that out, Obama can’t hurt or destroy what he can’t even call terrorist, when your done with ISIS President Putin please come and do the same to democrats and liberals!
Anyone that still supports Obama is considered p**s in the wind!
Putin might be getting all of them over there, but how about all the training camps here? Who is going to take them out and how?
