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?
There should be two gigantic aircraft carriers on their way to that Syrian Area and we should send a message to Russia that you’re not welcome here, get out I will cut your monies off
Population control sounds good right now
The National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces in Hama aren’t ISIS.
PUTIN IS correct again take out the Lesser of two evils and then go after the bigger threat.
Putin be da man…
I hope that this doesn’t mean that the group refugees that will come to America will have sleeper cells ready to attack the United States on Isis or Putin’s command.
They have ties!
I said it before, Russians never forget, and walking in and handing the letter at the embassy, let’s face it, do you think the Russians care, or Putin, He has a War to win, the bozo in the White house is at the bottom of His list, Putin is making Friend’s, and going to show the World that He can go for the long haul, not like obama, all that mugu in Washington wants to do is play patty cake.
Wrong ,putin is smart and a real lider
Both!!
