At approximately 3:00 am, on September 30 2015, one of Russia’s top military officials marched into the US Embassy at Baghdad to deliver a very important letter. Inside he asked to speak to the highest ranking man on the premises. The letter, which is called a demarche, was to inform the US that Russia would begin airstrikes over Syria in approximately two hours and for the US to leave Syria.
In response Obama, shocked, sent in his Defense Secretary and Secretary of State. Obama himself, did not speak to the American people. He called on his Defense Secretary, Ash Carter, who appeared in an impromptu press conference. Ash Carter appeared like a deer in the headlights as he talked about women in the military, about military budgets, and oh yes, Russia is bombing in Syria. Watching him in totality it seemed the man was slightly confused. Later, reports start coming in that in the northern part of Syria, bombs were landing on everything but ISIS. Russia was hitting groups of militia armed by the US, as of this writing it has been confirmed civilian casualties have been sustained.
This action by Putin and Russia flies in the face of his coming to the rescue to lead the battle to defeat ISIS. Putin is doing what he said he would do, he was there to keep Assad in power. As far as Russia making ISIS go away for good, that is not his priority. Humiliating the US? Yes. Making Obama look weak and a man not in reality? Yes.
Just what are Putin’s goals for the Middle East?
See, this man is a lying communist dictator. Neither he, nor Obama, can be trusted.
America could handle it but all of our patriotic generals are either fired or resigned.
Did you forget Zputin is a fascist and his global interests always comes first?
Obama and his supporters looking so smart now…
There are no moderate muslim rebels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykb5sxTl1Rw&feature=share
Russia has not been this bold since Nikita Krushev was running things. Putin along with other world leaders have not hid their disdain for Obama. Putin is taking full advantage of Obama’s weakness and I hardly think he will stop there. With the jerk in the White House Russia no longer have any stop signs. The politics Obama will be leaving the next President will be hard to overcome. Right now America is starved for leadership but Trump may be our best bet because of his aggressiveness. May God help us !
Isis and Assad opposition are one in the same
Mr Putin , as far as iam care you can bomb those muslims clean back into the stone age
Not sure they think he is amazing. I think they are just tired of having someone in charge who is viewed as weak and ineffective, who appears not to have the United States’ best interests in mind, and lies every time he opens his mouth. You can keep your doctor, most transparent administration, etc.
Putin knows Obama is less of a direct approach type of leader so unlike Obama he’s getting results early you go Russia
