Putin Begins Bombing Right After Meeting Obama


The inventory of aircraft and weapons Russia moved into Syria includes advanced air supremacy fighters and surface-to-air missiles, which would have no conceivable use against the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, or any other Syrian rebel group, as none of them have an air force. The planes were slipped into Syria using clever subterfuge designed to defeat satellite surveillance, which is something else no element of the Syrian rebellion has.

“The Russian demand also mirrors one made by Turkey this past July, when Ankara asked U.S. planes to fly only in airspace south of Mosul, Iraq. In that case, 24 Turkish jets bombed Kurdish positions, catching the U.S. off guard,” Fox News writes.

In other words, the word is out that Obama can be kowtowed easily; he is a coward, pure and simple.

Also on Wednesday, the Russian parliament unanimously voted to give President Vladimir Putin war-fighting authority in Syria. Putin’s chief of staff, Sergey Ivanov, said only a “time-limited” air campaign is envisioned. Considering Putin, that probably means Time-Unlimited.

Russian bombs are already falling on Syria according to some sources, and the first targets reported include a rebel group vetted and supplied by the United States:

Update: According to CNN, the Russians sent an official to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad to announce the Russian strikes, and “request” the removal of American planes from Syrian airspace, with only an hour or two of warning before the Russian strikes began.

The Russians offered “no geographical information” about where they planned to strike. That’s very arrogant and quietly threatening; an indication that the Russians may blow up people they think the United States might have warned.

Update: Russia, unlike the U.S. isn’t primarily interested in bombing ISIS positions. Reports are they have caused significant civilian casualties with their first wave of bombings.

Obama and Kerry are clueless.
