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.

Unfortunately, I would believe the Russians before I would believe the lier in the White House! He can not tell the truth regarding anything!
What a waste of valuable ordinance and valuable tax dollars….Obama.
Lol
who can trust obama anyways?
SO SAD
Go putin
Putin says what he means, and does what he says. Obama says things, but he does nothing. Big difference.
Some would like to see one of those stray Russian cruise missiles land at 1600 Pennsylvania ave…just saying..
