Who would you prefer to converse with GR? In one thread you're trying to herd people off a thread to engage in meaningful conversation, on another you are telling them to FO.

Luckily, the Russians have embarked on a campaign smashing everything the criminal Americans have created...

the photos don't mean a thing at all. Even at a stretch, you could only insinuate that ISIL have done exactly what they have been pretty good at - stealing gear and supplies from retreating forces.

Go ahead and post some of your credible Sprutnik News, Press TV and RT links! :lol:

I don’t know how they can show their faces here! :?

And while I'm here...

For anyone who is interested in the objective facts, it would appear that the Russians, despite claims to the contrary, have not yet attacked Daesh.

Initial Findings of the Crowdsourced Geolocation and Analysis of Russian MoD Airstrike Videos from Syria

Yesterday Bellingcat launched an effort to use the Checkdesk platform to geolocate and collect additional information on videos posted by the Russia Ministry of Defence showing their airstrikes in Syria. This was triggered after the discovery that two videos the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed were filmed in or near ISIS controlled Raqqa were geolocated to locations over 100 miles west of Raqqa, in non-ISIS territory.

The first batch of videos including 14 videos, 12 of which have now been geolocated. This has revealed the following information –

• 3 videos were verified as being in locations matching the title and description of the videos. In all 3 videos the targets of Russian bombing are described as “terrorists” rather than ISIS, which is taken as a catch all term for armed Syrian opposition groups.
• 5 videos gave locations that were accurate, but described the attacks as targeting ISIS when there is no known current ISIS presence in those areas.
• 2 videos gave the location as Raqqa, but were in fact filmed over 100 miles west of Raqqa in areas with no known ISIS presence.
• 1 video gave no location, but was geolocated to an area where there was no known ISIS presence, despite the title of the video claiming otherwise.
• 1 video gave a location at the entrance to Ma’aart al Nu’man but was geolocated to an area 20km away from Ma’aart al Nu’man.

Based on the videos geolocated thus far there is no indication that the Russian Ministry of Defence has targeted ISIS positions, or hit targets in Raqqa, despite claims to the contrary.

But who gives a shit about criminal America’s labels? Anyone opposing Assad is just a CIA-funded terrorist and should be terminated.

That some of these terrorists are further away from the Russian bases than others and will therefore die last… is expected! Consider them the lucky ones… for now because eventually they’ll all die.

Thank you Tim for this information confirming what we have all suspected.

Putin is an expert in propaganda with his KGB background. He is an expert in false flags and deception. We have seen it with the downing of MH17 which he still denies as well as the criminal invasion of Ukraine.

The coalition has a score to settle with Putin and if he thinks he can clear out all the rebel groups in weeks or months he has another thing coming. He is going to get Russia stuck in a massive quagmire and I have a feeling we will be talking about the Syrian War for many years to come unless of course he suddenly gets smart and removes Assad from power. Only then will this war end.

Either the coalition is going to peg the Russians down for years, or they are going to declare a no fly zone. Take your pick but the point is, the coalition has a number of choices and Putin has placed himself into a vulnerable position.

Personally, I think Russia has been check mated!
