This is what peace in Syria will look like - Russian jets sending Al-Raqqa (the ISIS stronghold in Syria) back to the Stone Age:

We have and still do support regimes far worse than Assad. We just can’t admit that demanding his ouster was a huge mistake.

The Wests response has been air strikes. Russia brings aircraft to the table and all of sudden aircraft aren’t of any use.Sorry but that logic is laughable.

These Su-30s are putting the Russian flag on Latakia airfield, so its high risk if it gets attacked. If the SS-22 are also there to protect them it makes flying over a slice of western Syria a potential problem for US/NATO planes. Perhaps more importantly, as they have been invited in by the sovereign government,…

U.S. wants to get rid of Assad, U.S. wants to get rid of ISIS. Wait a sec. You can’t just get rid of everyone who is going to take control than? The truth is U.S. actually created ISIS to kick off Assad. Ask the refuges what are they running from. They are running from airstrikes and ISIS. If U.S. really wanted to…

Why is the US more concerned about Russia than Isis? Why is Kerry more concerned about removing Asad than Isis? The US needs to get the hell out.

Russia is trying to save their ally Assad, they have no desire to conquer Syria.

Russia didn’t want any nation in the Middle East de-stabilized, they didn’t want the war in Libya or this war in Syria. Russia has no ambitions in the Middle East other than maintaining their 45 year old alliance with the Assad dynasty.

Unlikely since in order for Putin to take on “moderate freedom fighters” such mythical creatures would first need to exist... Or be a viable force beyond 5 guys hiding in a basement somewhere and their leader with his legs blown off in a hospital in Turkey.

You are on every single comment thread with stupid Obummer rhetoric and chicken hawk warmongering. Just sick of seeing your bullshit go unanswered. Come at me or shut up, fucking chair force pussy.

I think we need regime change in Syria ASAP because if history has taught us anything it’s that Western-driven regime change in the Middle East, overt or covert, ALWAYS works out for the best. Iran, Iraq, Lybia, Egypt... Everything’s fantastic.

I hope you’re in the military for as much shit as you talk.

The biggest cunt on an Iowa-class since that Cher video!

Yes, the Russian military isn’t good at being an OFFENSIVE force engaged in expeditionary ‘adventures’ (aka invasions).

Are you nuts? Do you know how many military assets and forces the U.S. has in the Middle East? What does Russia have in comparison?

Oh dear....here we go again. More ultra-right wing, “Obama is the worstest ever” nonsense from the Buzz Killington peanut gallery, aided by the hysterical musings of some faux fighter named “slovog!”

Ah, yes. Because nothing ever bad happened in the Israel/America dominated Middle East. Really, it was the region’s greatest era of peace in history; a veritable golden age.

That’s odd. Buzz Killington is very well known around here for level-headed, well-thought-out posts full of verifiable fact and not an ounce of hyperbole, extrapolation, or soap-boxing.
