I think this will cement Obama's claim to the worst President in US history.

Dubya was the worst president his history...and don't you forget it either.

Who cares what Russia is doing? They are a regional power, not a global power, reeling from economic sanctions, and unable to sustain a long military effort. I applaud the President for exercising great restraint in not submerging this country into another endless conflict. Russia is no match for the US, and they must be careful.

ISIS would love to see the US and Russia fight each other over Assad rather than targeting ISIS. If Bush were in office, they would succeed in making that happen since Pubs engage in Neanderthal diplomacy, easily tricked into going to war.

Russia has a conscription army, which means a certain number of conscripts enter service every year.

From your own link:

'This is a regular document which the president signs twice a year.' Dmitry Peskov said in comments reported

'It is not related to Syria in any way, of course, this situation does not concern the draftees in any way.'

This is an interesting article from November 2011:

Russian military has 'no one left to draft'

The article is about how there is 'no one left to draft':

"We now have a situation when there is virtually nobody left to draft," Makarov said. "It is a serious problem and I make no bones about it."

The article also refers to the 'draft periods', including the-then upcoming 'autumn draft period'.

Right. The 150K is the normal semi-annual batch.

Do we really have allies in Syria? https://www.sofmag.com/these-executi...is-supporting/ Just what is the real reason Syria is in such a mess? Think outside the box.

Not to mention his successors there -- like Obama. We have no interests in Afghanistan worth fighting for. Out NOW!

I just wish we had a president like Putin instead of the incompetent homosexual we ended up with.

Ah, what's really the matter? You jealous of Russia that it is getting itself involved in another foolish Mid East military adventure of its own. Instead, it should be the USA spending another foolish fortune on such a venture.

Time to start watching all those 1980's Cold War action films again.
