IMO...It's time for Russia to finish this...

How long will it be now? Another 4 weeks?

The Russians don't rush ..... make idle boasts ..... or threaten ..... but without fanfares ........ they will just do what needs to be done to help Assad rid his country of this US induced plague and send them all to Paradise or ........back into Iraq for the coalition to repatriate them to the US and Australia ........ you have both get plenty of empty space you are not using!.

No idle boasts!

Just the facts on the ground which has the regime and Russia in a head spin plus an entire Coalition Air Force in the skies. And we are not leaving either.

We've made ourselves comfortable and helping ourselves to the fridge!

Situation normal then .... feeding at the trogh? Just try not to bump into one another ..... in other words don't listen to directions from Aussie AWACs ...... it is more than likely piloted by Russian mafia or an Aboriginal with attitude!

All roads lead to the Hague!

Good job by the Aussie Wedgetail and all the Coalition aircraft who executed the coordinates as they were distributed. Team effort!

Did any of you Einsteins actually think of the possibility that the attack on the Syrian Military was deliberate because they were not letting the Aid Convoy through? Which in itself was a breach of the ceasefire?

And that the Russians bombed the convoy in retaliation?

No? Yeh ok whatever you guys think then!

I'm not saying this was the case... But....

If it was the case, then Pootin and Assad just got directly targeted and bitch slapped on their turf and all they could do is target soft UN targets.

I would be expecting more in the future too.

The convoy was held up because of threats by your terrorists. The Syrians also had to check to make sure the convoy was not ferrying arms and ammunition from Turkey to terrorists and this is why the Russians have pulled the plug on these false truce's. The US has every time used the lull in fighting to resupply their terrorists.

That illusionary game of trust has now ended, the Russians played your game and realised you were not sincere. Now Assad/Iran/Hezbollah backed by Russian air power will destroy ALL the terrorists holed up in the centre of Aleppo, unfortunately with civilian hostages. Had the US not continued providing arms and provided food and medicine instead, the terrorists would have surrendered.

A sensible assessment of that which is really going on.....a view from behind the 'Wool'.

A concrete wall being built to stop illegal crossings along the length of Turkey's 900-km (560-mile) border with Syria will be finished by the end of February, an official at a Turkish state institution with knowledge of the project said on Wednesday.

...this will surely be news to the candidates in the American Presidential elections.

We have never provided arms until very early 2015, and the first recipients were the Kurds. After that, we have started to supply a select few Sunni militias with arms which are represented under one group.

There is nothing wrong with supplying these groups with arms so that they can defend themselves from extermination.

It's not sensible at all. In fact, it's quite incorrect to claim we supplied anyone with arms until early 2015 when arms were delivered to the Kurds.

Well .... they never seem to have a problem getting a replenishment of both ever more sophisticated weapons (MANPADS, TOW) and ammunition from somewhere, and it's all US manufactured. If it’s not the US or members of the coalition ........... it must be Putin !

Support for the Syrian opposition - United States

In June 2012, the CIA was reported to be involved in covert operations along the Turkish-Syrian border, where agents investigated rebel groups, recommending arms providers which groups to give aid to. Agents also helped opposition forces develop supply routes, and provided them with communications training. CIA operatives distributed assault rifles, anti-tank rocket launchers and other ammunition to Syrian opposition. The State Department has reportedly allocated $15 million for civilian opposition groups in Syria.

Unless of course you happen to be an ethnic Russian living in East Ukraine, threatened with extermination by a government that came to power thanks to a coup instigated by the USA. Then it is a war crime to supply weapons for self defence. The so called Syrian rebels are not using the weapons the US provides for self defence ..... they use them to overthrow the elected government...... but that's OK it suited the US because that's what the US has wanted in Syria form day one! "ASSAD MUST GO!"

You really do have rather selective views of these events ........... as I said, had the US supplied food and medicine instead of guns and amo, this would all have fizzled out in 2012 . But the US decided to prolong the war. Had Russia not stepped in when they did Syria would now be another Libya or Iraq.
