That would be a real gift for Putin, but the question is whether or not US should be concerned about Putin in the first place. The neo-cons are treating Russias involvement like it was the end of the world, while some others are not too concerned.
So our government and military kept claiming that ISIS was a fierce military force and it would take decades to defeat them? Who actually believed those lies? The US has the most powerful military in the world and took out the elite Iraq military in just a few short days ... and that was over a decade ago ... long before some of our new high technology weaponry.
So Russia comes to the aid of it's Syrian ally and devastates the ISIS forces in just 72 hours. What does this tell you? Does it prove that our government and media were lying yet again? What about the fear mongering our government and media were unleashing on the American people that ISIS was coming to America to unleash terror on our streets? More lies to instill fear into the people so they accept more domestic surveillance and the trampling on our civil rights? People need to learn from this event and stop being sheeple. It should be pretty obvious now that the reason why the US has not taken out ISIS is because the US created ISIS and has been training, arming and funding ISIS with our hard earned tax dollars. We are paying for our own demise.
Russia Claims ISIS Now On The Ropes As Fighters Desert After 60 Airstrikes In 72 Hours One question that’s been asked repeatedly over the past thirteen months is why Washington has been unable to achieve the Pentagon’s stated goal of “degrading and defeating” ISIS despite the fact that the “battle” pits the most advanced air force on the planet against what amounts to a ragtag band of militants running around the desert in basketball shoes.
Billions From U.S. Fail to Sustain Foreign Forces
WASHINGTON — With alarming frequency in recent years, thousands of American-trained security forces in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia have collapsed, stalled or defected, calling into question the effectiveness of the tens of billions of dollars spent by the United States on foreign military training programs, as well as a central tenet of the Obama administration’s approach to combating insurgencies.
They claimed ISIS was a fierce military force??? I thought they claimed they were JV
Since when haven't democrats fallen in love with fascist dictators?
The only reason democrats are not swooning over Putin is because he has been critical of 0bama.
I think you have that backwards. The only reason conservatives are swooning over Putin is because he's been critical of Obama. To the point where they are rooting for Putin to shoot American pilots out of the sky. Because, you know, conservatives are all such patriots.

Are you a patriot? Did you serve in the U.S. military?

I'm certainly not rooting for Russians to shoot down Americans. And I think it's a joke that Americans who are rooting for that call themselves patriots. I don't need to have served to understand that.
But seriously.... it's embarrassing comical how bad the Russian economy is. Military campaigns are a good distraction and a stimulus!
I simply do NOT believe any claims that comes out of Putin's mouth!!! Just like I didn't believe his forces didn't shoot down that plane over Ukraine..along with he hasn't installed his forces into Ukraine ..
So IF Conservatives wish to praise Putin, that sort of explains why they love the guy!! That's because they believe he is making BO look stupid.....LOL..Course Putin is working with Iran..and BO is working with over 60 other Countries!! Yep..
BTW~~ Putin is NOT targeting ISIS at all..only the Syrian/Allie forces fighting Assad..and the whole World knows WHY!! Putin will lose this show of force in the end!!

Exactly. Putin doesn't care about ISIS. That is why he is bombing the forces fighting Assad. I highly doubt 1 member of ISIS has even died under the bombardment.
